TOPEKA BEATS THE
ROURKES AT LAST
Grab Six to Three Contest by
0utplaying Locals in ALI
Departments.
COCHRAN HAS GOOD DAY

The Topeka crew, after having
vainly attempted to win ball game
from the Rourkcs all season, broke
the ice yesterday afternoon by wal
Looping the locals s to 3.
The victory was clean-cut one,
and the box score shows that the
visitors excelled in every branch Of
the game for this particular contest.
Hall outpitched Merz, the Kansas
sluggers outswat the local crew, and
the Topekans also had the edge in
the field.
George Cochran, Topeka shortstop,
was the individual star OF the after
noon, getting four safe hits in four
times at bat, including two doubles,
and accepting nine chances in the
field, many Of them difficult ones.
Goodwin also annexed a couple OF
two-sackers for the Kaws.
Smith Lands Hard.
For the home guard. Smith was
the only player able to deal very
destructively with Halls shoots.
Smith, who opened Tuesdays game
with q triple on the first ball pitched,
yesterday landed on Halls initial de-
livery for a double, and followed it
with another two-sacker in the
eighth.
Kilduff and Shag Thompson each
made one clean single, and the other
three Rourke bingles were scratchy.
Hall did not walk man, and did
not strike out batter.
Topeka, however, hit Merz solidly
and often. Five doubles were regis
tered against him before he retired
for pinch hitter in the eighth.
Both teams scored in the first, To-
peka on Engle's base on balls and
double by Goodwin, and the Rourkes
on Smiths double, Krug's sacrifice
and Thompson's sacrifice fly,
Topeka took the lead in the second
and kept it. Cochran opened with
. double, and came home on sac
rifice and sacrifice fly.
Goodwin's second double, Coch-
rams infield hit and Kilduffs boot Of
Kruger's grounder gave the Kansans
another in the fourth, and they sewed
up the game in the seventh by push
ing over three more runs.
The Fatal Inning.
Agler singles to center and Engle
sacrificed. Goodwin's clean hit TO CEN
ter put Agier over the plate.
Schweitzer singled to center, and
Cochran's fourth hit Of the afternoon,
4 hot drive which Merz knocked
down but couldn't get in time TO re-
tire the runner, filled the sacks.
Kruger forced Cochran at second,
Goodwin scoring on the play, and
Schweitzer then stole home while
Kruger pockeyed about between first
and second, he completing the double
steal when the play was made to the
plate.
The Rourkes were powerless be.
fore Hall from the first inning until
the eighth. With one donw Kruger
batted for Merz, and was hit BY Hall,
Smith bagged his second double OF
the day, Kruger advancing TO third.
Kruger scored on Krug's infield out,
and Smith came home on a passed
ball. ]. Thompson singled to center,
but that was all, as Miller flied out.
The teams meet again today. Bruck
and O'Tooic are both possibilities.

FLOUR WAR ORDER
 INVOLVING ss5o,ooo
 PLACED IN ST. LOUIS

ST. LOUIS, March 25.- Another war order for flour, involving approx imately Ss50OO0, has been placed in the St. Louis market. The purchase, amounting to 5000 tons. was closed through seaboard brokerage firms with the Sparks Milling Company last week. and the entire order will be shipped this month.
 The specifications call for hard wheat flour, all of which had been. or will be, ground by mills in and about st. Louis. All told there arc 50.0OO barrels, and 1t will require 25O cars to transport it to the Atlantic seaboard through which ports 1t will be forwarded to It's European destina- ton.
 It is understood part of the flour is destined for Mediterranean ports. but great secrecy is being maintained on this, and other details, relative to the transaction by the men who clos ed It.

 When all of this work is done there will be connected primary triangula- ton from latitude 59 degrees. through Alaska, Canada. the United States and Mexico to latitude 16 degrees. diff ference Of 48 degrees in latitude. 1t is said by the experts, that 1t will be of great advantage both to Can ada and Alaska to have the new pri- mary control.-(seattle Times.l

GAS BOAT WRECKED;
 FOUR SAFE
Child and Two Men Have Narrowing Experiences EnrOute from Tenakee-BOat Is Wrecked and They Are Forced to Swim Ashore in tue Bitter Cold.


 A tale of suffering and hardship seldom equalled is the one told by tho survivors Of the gas boat Viking. which was wrecked on Chichaeof Isl and at midnight on March 17th.
 Tho party consisting of Captain John Madsen. Mrs. Susie Carter and child. and Fred Olsen, left Tenakee on the Viking. Q 26-foot gas boat, on the morning of March 17th. shortly after leaving. trouble with the engine was had. After working with the engine for Q short time tho boat was anchored a short distance from shore. Along toward evening the north wind began to blow and it's was impossi- ble to start the engine. The anchor dragged and at midnight the boat struck on a reef about 50 feet from shore and started to pound to pieces. The waves. by this time, were rum ming high, and an attempt had to be made to reach shore.
 The captain reached shore with difficulty as his feet had been frost bitten and Fred Olsen swan ashore with Mrs. Carter and the child. A fire was built on the shore by Ol- sen and ho and Mrs. Carter worked for five hours in an endeavor Go draw the frost out Of tho captains feet
 About 10 o'clock tho next morning the party. hungry and illclad, started Co walk down the beach toward Hoo nah. 20 miles distant. There were no shoes in the party and the coat sleeves were torn out to wrap around their feet to protect them from the sharp rocks on the beach. The party dragged themselves along until about six o'clock. when they were picked up by the gas boat Alice
 The captain of tho Alice tried to make Hoonah but the sea was run ming too high and after four days of alternately buclSing the sea and anchoring, the bow Of the boat was headed for Douglas. where they ar- rived last Thursday.
 The Viking and all personal be- longings Of the party on board are a total loss. Captain Madsen has recovered from the effects of the frost bite. but his feet are still ten der. The others of the party have entirely recovered from their har- rowiug experiences.

WHAT WILL BE THE
 CONDITION OF STEEL
 WHEN WAR IS OVER?

NEW YORK-After the war how will the American steel maker be sit- uaied, both in respect to foreign and domestics business? Will he be able to retain the eminent position in for elgn trade which the European con nict has forced upon him, or will he again have to depend almost entirely on domestic demand to keep his mills running?
 A return to what formerly were normal levels in export trade would result in decidedly sub-normal condi- lions in steel. To meet the unprece- dented activity in the metal, the var ious steel companies Cf this country have expanded much above the nor nal rate, and business must be found to keep at least a fair percentage Of this new capacity operating if the trade is to prosper
 In the ten years prior to the out break of hostilities the average pro. duction of finished steel in the Unit cd States was 1S.989,000 tons, and the domestic consumption was approxi- mately 176OO,OOO tons, the balance be- ing exported The average capacity of the country's mills over the decade was probably some 2S,O00,000 tons, so that the home consumption averaged about three-quarters Of the capacity.
 The finished steel capacity at pres ent is between S0.OOO.OOO and S5.0OO.- 900 tons, and is being rapidly made higher. It is claimed by authorities that 1t will soon reach 4O,0OO,0OO tons of finished steel annually On a basis of such a production the average do- nestle employment of the metal would have to be 30.OOO.cOO tons to keep tho mills running 75 per cent. full. and to insure conditions over the future per iod equal to those prevailing over the past ten years, exports would have to show 2 proportionate increase, or aD- proximalely 60 per cent.
 An analysis of the figure for the de- cade 1904-1S reveals that there was a gain of about 5.0000oo tons in con- sumption over the last five years as compared with tho first five years of the decade; SO that, # the consump- ton at home is increased in @ steady ratio. an average home demand of somewhere near 25,000,000 tons over the period of 1916-25 may be looked for. which would be 5,OOOOO6 tons less than necessary to provide the ra- ton to tho capacity maintained over the decade 190f-1s.
 These figures naturally, cannot loo calculated with any exactness, as the abnormal condition prevailing from 1914 to the present will cause chang es for better or for worse, and 1t is likely that the consumption will be actually larger than the figures given. especially as no account is taken here of the normal expansion for the two years.
 But even granted a home consump- tion of 27.O00.OOO tons with a capacity of 40, 100000 tons. tho problem Of keep ing the mills active would still con- front the steel makers. And tho only
