SIPES IS A HERO
knights of Columbus Defeated
EIks in Big Fourth Game.
Ninth Inning Error Was Fatal
to the Abbott Men.

Wednesday was the banner base
ball day of the season. Every league,
big and little, played doubleheaders
and most teams drew record crowds
but not even in the big leagues did
the fans have more excitement and
intense interest than those who
watched the Elks and Knights of Co
1umbus in their clash at Western
league park.
The K of c. players got revenge
and it was a glorious one. The final
score was . to 1 and it was in the
last half of the ninth frame that the
Brennan men staged their rally and
put over the two counters that gave
them victory and made them forget
their extra inning defeat few weeks
ago.
The fans who went to the park to
see a classy amateur game probably
were disappointed. But no one could
say that it was not as good perform
ance as a pot luck drawing in any
league would get.
Pitching Was Good.
The Abbott E1ks made onl-- one err
ror and the Knights only two. Sipes,
the old St. Mary's mound star who
pitched for the K. of C.'s, held his
opponents TO four scattered hits and
struck out seven men. The only run
he permitted came in the fourth in
ming and from then to the finish hG
did not have to worry enough to tint
a hair. Grindell, the Elks pitcher,
also did remarkably well at mystifying
his opponents. He allowed nine safe
blows but until the knights went to
bat in the ninth, the home plate had
never been crossed.
Then he might have gotten away
with a l to 0 victory had the breaks
not been against him. With one out,
a walk and a single by Sipes put men
on first and third. Then an error by
Movers on Navarre's drive permitted
the knights to salt away the game
without the B. P. o E.: having a
chance to come back.
Good Crowd Cut.
A crowd of about $50 witnessed the
contest. Before the play started the
members of Company A Engineers,
staged an exhibition drill. At the close
of the contest Manager Abbott, of the
Elks issued a formal challenge to the
victorious knights and it is very prob
able that another game will be ar
ranged.
Sunday afternoon the Topeka Greys
will play the knights again and Man
ager Jaenicke thinks his men will be
able to repeat their victory of last Sun
day. Wednesdays score:

BIG DAY FOR GOLFERS
Country Club and Shawnee Courses
Crowded With 4th CelebratOrs.

The greatest number of golfers that
Topeka has turned out this year were
on the courses of the Country club
and the Shawnee club Wednesday.
Both courses were filled early In the
morning and some of the players only
left when they discovered that the
moon would not come up for several
hours after dark.
The annual midsummer champion
ship contest was staged at the Shaw
nee club with sixteen players entered.
DR.. G. H Allen won the title. NJ. O..
Lock was runner up. In the after
noon a Scotch foursome was staged
and Mrs H. A. Jungk and Jack Crow
carried off the honors by defeating
Mrs c. P. Buck and r. R. Nelson.
A Red Cross benefit was staged at
the Country club and each player was
taxed one cent a stroke. One hundred
dollars was collected during the day in
this manner.

GOLF IS GROWING
War Is Having No Evil Influ-
ence on the Old Game.
Even Crippled Soldiers Are
Playing in Europe Now.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York. July 5-Golf isn't go
ing to suffer a terrific relapse on
account of the war after all.
Old Man Mars thought he had the
Scotch game stymied tc L fragile, but
in the face of numerous patr1ot1c
tournaments turnout the country
it is evident that the golfers have re-
fused to worry over the unnatural
hazard for the game is thriving the
same as in past years, and growing
too.
The elimination of championship
tournaments caused a loud wall early
in the season. The calamity howlers
of golf had it figured that without
championship play the game would
lose much of its popularity. But IN
the face of reports from various sec
lions of the country it is evident that
every golfer who can park hlmselr IN
the vicinity of a course is bent on top
ping and slicing his merry way around
the links as of yore.
100000 New Players.
1t is estimated that 100000 golf
converts are added to the fast grow
ing army of players in this country
each year. Those who are in posi-
ton to make estimates say that this
is a conservative figure, for there is
no way of getting at the actual fig
ures because no tab is kept on the
players who frequent the many public
links, while the membership figures
of many small golf clubs have not
been investigated.
In comp" rison to baseball, golf runs
a close second as a popular sport and
it is altogether different Baseball
has it's millions of fans and its thouS-
ands of players. but nearly every golf
fan is a player himself, and the play
ers of golf are numbered by the hun
dreds of thousands in this country to-
day.
There are approximately 1900
golf courses in the United States and
this number does not include many
links that have been laid out on pri-
vately owned estates. And golf hasn't
stopped growing. Rather it is forg-
ing ahead by great leaps and bounds.
Interest Increasing.
The war, according to number of
weIl-informed golf authorities, is
bound to increase interest in golf rath-
er than lessen it. In France today
there are many players of golf VINO
probably would never have taken up
the game had it not been for war.
Golf is encouraged among soldiers
and officers behind the firing lines 1t
is a healthy outdoor recreation that
can be recommended to young and
old alike, and there is no sport in the
curriculum that offers such wide
range of players. Anyone between
the ages of ten and sixty can take up
golf and get enjoyment out of it.
Even the soldiers who are crippled
in battle on the western front in
France are taking up the game. Phil
Carter, the New York star who re-
Gently went to France with the Yale
military unit. reports that the country
is full of one-armed players. Many of
these players were devoted to the
game before they suffered injuries, but
many others never had golf club
in their hands before. According to
a letter from Carter. the one-armed
golfers of France put up cracking
good game.
So Old Man Mars has been double
crossed by the golfers. Golf will suffer
less than any other sport during the
war.

The self-styled Peoples Council of
America, of which Senator La Fol-
lette is said to be a member, has
been denied permission to alight in two
of the cities of the senator's own
state. representatives of the organ
ization have been attempting to hold a
convention in various localities. but
either the citizens or the authorities
in every instance have ordered them
to move on. This is a fair indication
of the regard in which the council is
held by the loyal and patriotic people
of this country. The leaders now
have announced that they will meet in
Washington. One of them declares
that there must be a reckoning. Other
persons feel that there should be a
reckoning and there is no better place
for it than the national capital. The
seat of government has all the facili-
ties for dealing out full and complete
Justice to these supporters of the kali
ser. In Germany, such a traitorous
organization as the Peoples Council"
declares the Des Moines Capital,
would be the signal for setting all the
members up against a dead wall.

DRAFT Z VOLUNTEERING.

Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of
labor, discusses CONSUMPTION in an ar
ticle in a recent issue of THE Pub
lie. He says:
Volunteering poetizes military ex-
ploits and makes war seem glorious
CONSUMPTION exposes war as the hid
eous thing it is. Volunteering min
imizes the sanctity of human life:
| conscrtption treats the death toll as
the dearest price that war exacts.
Volunteering stimulates the military
spirit and promotes militarism; con-
scription exercises the military spirit
and develops hatred of war Volun-
teertng appeals to some ei the worse
emotions as if they were The best, and
leads men to war like children to a
picnic; CONSUMPTION appeals to the
highest emotions of which patriotism
| is capable and calls men tC war as re-
| luctant but conscientious and loyal in
dividual sacrifices to a common nee
| essity. Volunteering makes for pro-
| longation of war and for wars after
war; conscription makes for early and
permanent peace.
| Whether wisely planned or not, il
was wise conclusion, hat which
chose conscription for our. military
method of defending this country anc
! assisting other countries against the
| ruthless crusade for wor-d-conques
| that the German Kaiser is making
| What is really regrettable il that vol
unteering could not have been wholly
put aside in favor of conscription. Fol
volunteering devices, besides beins
wrong in themselves from any pro
foundly patriotic point of view, have
tended to discredit the conscriptioI
policy which the government ha.
adopted.
Insidious contrasts in favor of vol
unteering-such, for instance as ar,
implied by urging young men subjec
to CONSUMPTION to ''be a went and no
a sent"-ere more offensive to genu
inc patriotism and more dangerous t
the country's cause in this period o
its peril than the Conscientious pacif
ist professions of which 1auch crit
cism has been made. Bul if imper
fections in the system have left CD
portunities open for discrediting tn
solemn and honorable functions o
CONSUMPTION by invidious contrast
with gay volunteering. we must never
theless remember that perfection can
not be had in anything upon the in
slant.
At all events we have now nearI
if not altogether passed By .he volun
teering stage even as a MINOR or col
lateral method, and entered well-nigl
completely upon a conscr.piion polio
for manning our army for thi. war O
national defense.
