GREYS TO FRONT
Jaenicke'S Men Defeat knights
~f Columbus by Big Score.
EIks Play Defeated Team on
Afternoon of the Fourth.

That the city base ball championship
OF Topeka this year may go neither to
the Knights of Columbus nor the EIks,
but to the Topeka Greys is now more
than a mere possibility as a result of
the easy victory Manager Jaenicke's
men scored over Tommy Brennan's
knights Sunday afternoon at Western
League park. The score was II to 2
and after the first inning Seitz, the
Greys pitcher, had the Knights en-
tirely at his mercy, allowing them but
5 hits during the whole game.
The alibi of the X. of c. men, how
ever, is that some of their players
We're out of the city and were resting
up for their big game with the Elks
on the Fourth at which an added at
traction will be an exhibition drill by
the soldiers of Company A, engineers.
The knights probably were over
confident, some of their critics think,
because of their easy victory over the
Engineers Saturday afternoon when
they won by the score of 20 to 2. How
ever they will do their best Wednes-
day to even counts with the Abbott
battlers.
Good Crowd Out.
A good crowd witnessed Sundays
game. Up until the fourth inning the
contest was a good one. but in the be-
ginning of the fourth the GreyS got
to Dougherty for four runs and they
continued their drive turnout the fifth,
making d total of 10 runs in two
frames. hernandez did the heavy hit
ting for the Greys, getting three safe
blows. Not a Knight got more than
one hit.
The Greys have already challenged
the Elks and the Brennan men for
cha mpionship games and if they con-
tinue to play their present brand of
bali may be able to carry off the sea-
sons honors. Sundays score:

BARRY HAS HOPES
Boston Manager Believes SOX
VIII Come Out of Kinks.
However, They Have Tough
Road to Travel in West.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, July Jack Barry be-
lieves that the Champion Red Sox will
hit their true stride on the next west
ern invasion, which begins at Cleve-
land on July Z. That is, if Babe Ruth
isn't kept out of the game too long
by Car Johnson for plugging imp.
Owens at Boston.
He points out that the SoX are play
ing better early season baseball than
they did at this time last season, and
the chart shows that on July l, 1916,
the Boston club was occupying NTH
place. While there is a strong point
in the relative showing of the team
this year as against 1916, it is hard
to see why Barry should pick the COM
ing road trip for Z Red Sox drive.
Good Home Winners.
Every ball clue finds obstacles on
the road which are not encountered
at home. And the average winning
club does most If its winning on the
home lot and IS fortunate to break
even or a little better on the road.
But Barry is set in his belief, and
it is more than likely that he expects
the pitchers to show better form.
Ruth and Leonard bore the brunt or
the pitching up % the middle OF June
They<worked any old time they were
needed and it was Up to them because
SHORE ana Mays were not I6duy L W.
weeks ago, however, these two hurlers
began to show signs of real form and
took a heavy load off Barry's mind.
If Boston is to come thru as Barry
predicts, she will have to accomplish
it with four pitchers, and every one
of the four will have to be going at
top speed, according to the way the
dope sheet reads. This is why Ruth s
presence in the lineup is absolutely i'm
perative.
Meet Hard Opposition.
Bostons pitchers are great work
men when they are all working, but
in the west they are going to encoun-
ter some stubborn opposition on the
mound, for the White Sox and Cleve-
land staffs are improving with the
warm weather here to stay, and the
White Sox, in particular, are long on
pitching talent, where Boston is badly
in need of a fifth pitcher. Bader has
shown class in the few games in
which he has worked, but as a regu-
lar he probably will be found a weak
sister.
Whatever the standing of the Bos-
ton club may be when they hit the
road for the second long trip, the out
come of their invasion will be watch
ed with the keenest interest by the
fans, for if the Red Sox staff is going
to crack, as predicted by so many of

CAN NO ONE STOP TY?
Detroit Sluggcr Continues Campaign
of Frightful Smuggling Tactics.

New York, July 2.-Driving hard
for new batting record, Ty Cobb,
Detroit batting demon, is today on the
way to his thirty-first consecutive
game in which ne has hit safely at
least once. In the thirty games in
which he has pounded out safe blow
the marvel of baseball has cracked
the ball for an average of 400
Cobb started on his campaign of
frlghtfulness to American league
pitchers on May 81. He faced Ray
Caldwell that afternoon in a contest
against the Yanks at the Polo grounds
and maced him for a single. He was
just recovering from one of the most
serious batting sIumps he had ever
appeared in.
When Cobb began his hammer
speciality he had dropped below the
800 average, something that had not
happened to him for about ten years.
His drive has carried him to an aver
age today of 1856 well in advance of
any pursuing batsman.
