seemed to be off stride. Henning
lasted six innings in the first game
against Buck SterZer, being relieved
permitted six counters. West was no
more effective and was nipped Ior
three in the eighth and one in the
ninth.
Coming from behind in the first en-
counter the Topekans made five runs
in the ninth inning, placing them
selves within one of a tie score, but
with the needed run on third. Cochran
made an easy out, ending the game
In the second engagement Hail was

much more effective and held his OPP
ponents to three hits and one run
while the once promising looking Han
gave five scores on as many hits. Inc
second game was called at the end
of the seventh inning on account OF
rain.
Only Two Errors.
Kruger was the leading Topeka nit
ter of the day, getting four safe blows
in the first game. Monroe and Allen,
who divided the work behind the bat,
each had one error and these were
the only ones made by the Engleites.
This shows that ineffective pitching
was the principal cause of the double
defeat.

Considering the strength of the Den

Kansas City, Kan.-The tennis
hog is believed to be a thing of the
past on the public tennis courts of this
city, according to ]. P. Clark, superin-
tendent of parks. who has announced
new rules for tennis playeIG on the
courts under his supervision.
Many of the city courts have been
monopolized by a single group of play
ers by a systematic arrangement of al
ternately preparing dates ahead, it was
pointed out by Mr.. Clark The rules
as announced by Mr.. Clark are:
For tennis playing from to p. M,
a permit shall be issued for one hour
only.
No permit shall be issued for more
than two hours in one day.
No person shall be allowed to play
longer than four hours in one week
Where no permits have been issued,
watchmen will use their best Judgment
in dividing the time open on the per-
NIT schedule between those desiring
to play.
Mr. Clark believes the new rules will
prevent any group from monopolizing
the courts.

seem possible that Short Grass could
cut down any of that lead in so short
a distance, with the leaders racing up
to the maximum speed. But Short
Grass came on and ever on, taking
two jumps to one for each of the
others.
But Short Grass was beaten. Trial
by Jury won by half a length, Ormes-
dale was second, a head in front of
Short Grass. In 400 yards of st Itch
running he had cut down a ESQ foot
lead to three feet-an astonishing
performance. Had the race been four
the squirt a minute sooner, Short Grass
would have won easily.
In all the races he has run on the
New York tracks, Short Grass has
shown amazing finishing power. In
the stretch, no matter how long or
how short the race, no horse can out
sprint him. He is the wonder of the
turf in that respect.
Short Grass hasn't figured so prom
inently in the winning column in the
past simply because he is a lazy horse

ing until the turn is reached.
If his Jocks of the future can
keep him within easy distance of the

reached, Short Grass probably will de-
yelop into the most consistent money
winner in the country.
