Sayages Drop Another Game by
a One-Sided Score.
Locals Have Not Won From
ROurkes Here This Season.

It seems to be the will of the gods
of baseball that the Savages are not to
win game from the Omahogs here
this season. The trick has not been
turned to date. and, judging from
past performances, there is going 20 be
a hard trick turned when the thing is
accomplished.
Mondays game went the way all the
others have gone. the Krug clan win
ming to l. 1t might have been worse,
hut the Nebraskans did not exert
themselves after they once Sot
healthy lead.
Henning, as he did on the fateful
Wednesday of last week, started out
in great shape and pitched good ball
during the first innings. But as the
game progressed to the latter stages,
he became weaker and weaker and in
the last three innings he permitted
eight hits that, coupled with ragged
fielding, netted six runs.
Good and Bad Ball.
The Savages played bang up ball
during the first half dozen innings and
the only run they allowed was when
Kilduff got the right of way of the
paths as a result of being hit with
pitched ball and after being sacrificed
to second counted on Smiths single
In the fifth inning the locals tied
Fngle's single through Burg. 1t looked
Ike the game might go on forever nip
and tuck. but Henning began to let
down in the seventh round.
With two out Krause singled to left.
Smith then followed with a clean one
10 center and Krug doubled, scoring
krause. The jig was up from then on.
Thompson singled. counting Smith and
,t1rug, and then Miller retired the side.
The Final Scoring.
But in the eighth the Hogs came
back and made three more. the result
OF single. a double and error by
Goodwin. The Savages had several
opportunities to break through and
ssstage rallies. but every time the batter
up failed to hit in the pinch.
Also. the breaks of the game went
against Engle's men. In the fourth
inning with two men on and two down,
Eddie Monroe laid down a bunt that
he had beat with ease. 1t was a pretty
hunt. but just when Eddie was throw
ing his foot on the first sack the ball
took a notion to turn foul and rolled
out by inches.
Today's game is the get away for
both teams. Tomorrow will be an off
ebay and Thursday the Savages will
open at Sioux City while Omaha will
be at home to the Denver Bears.

the score of 10 to 6. The Wolves used an
assortment Of new pitchers, Bennett v.

George Cochran missed one Of the longest
home runs ever made in Topeka by foot
or so. In the first inning he drove
smasher against the Paddy Belts sign in
centerfield and If it had been foot higher
it would have been outside the park.
Hans Lobert went to bat in the fifth
inning of the Giant-Cub game pinch
hitter and IL -ked the Only Jimmy Laven-
der for a two Dagger which sent three
runs, including the winning one, across the
pan.
Toney held the Boston Braves to two
hits but his fellow Red Legs gave him the
poorest of support. He lost.
The Athletics lost their nineteenth
straight game.
1t would have been a home run with any
other outfielder but Speaker. He ran back
a mile, jumped half as high and pulled
down Pipp's swat.
Chester Thomas and Jimmy Austin were
Indefinitely suspended for their impromptu

Gentlemen: We the undersigned

4 that the laws in respect to prostitu-

the prostitutes be removed and not
permitted to return to this district
Our reasons for making the request
are as follows:
UD Whatever justification there
may have been originally for selecting
lwilei TO be used fer this purpose as
segregated district, such justifica-
ton has entirely disappeared through
the transformation CT Twilei from
comparatively uninhabited peninsula

asking for your assistance in bringing
about prompt decision and final action
which may put an end to prostitution

ca We would point out that there
are doubtless many women and girls
who would seek employment, in this
district if conditions were different,
with prostitution eliminated from Iwi-
lei 1t is reasonable to suppose that
many such women would be available
for employment, thus relieving the
general labor conditions TO that extent,
as there is frequently work done in
the canneries during the rush season
by men which could be done as well
and as easily by women and girls who
at present have no employment.
.f5l One Of the strongest reasons
for. closing Twilei is the increasing fire

the large and increasing number Of
houses of prostitution the character

with a rate of one per cent for three

prostitution the basis rate is three per

companies refuse to insure for long

for the birds that nest in May This
spring a man may see many new bird
houses nailed to porches, set on poles
and posts in back yards, fastened under

trees. Hospitable Washington has this

for birds that may desire to make their
residence in the capital.
