After the usual feeling out process in
the first round, accompanied by a few
hot skirmishes, the Staten Islander
started to bore into the County Seat
lad and soon had things his way. Cor
ona, however, was inclined to be wild
and misjudged the distance and direc-
ton OF his punches several times.
This bout too went the full time limit.
Young TOney Wins with X. o.

night came In the last preliminary

counts to get back his wind. When
Referee Woods reached the count OF
seven "Red's' seconds yelled to him
to get up. RED" could not get up

Laboratory crew yelled when they
trotted out on the diamond Thursday
afternoon to meet the Pipefitters In
the A. S. & r. League schedule. The
struggle was a seven-innin fracas

ing the Pipefitters to a score of 10.
Not q peek was allowed the fellows

The Lab nine was In hot water.
The win Thursday by the Labora-
tory breaks up a tie for first place
existing between the Laboratory and
Construction teams.
The struggle started off with a
lone tally by the Laboratory In the
initial reel. The fighting then settled
down to some baseball for the next
few innings. The winners were able
to creep across home with one coun-
ter in the fourth and fifth and In
the sixth with four.
Dametch, twirling for the Lab,
made five batters swing in useless at
tempts. Walters and Hansen, on the
hill for the losers, were almost as
effective, setting four of the clouterS
down via the strikeout walk.
The struggle was more interesting
than the majority of the contests OF

column was inhabited by q small
number of Boots"

Manager Doyle has decided to use
Art Young on the hill position to
bring home the bacon for the Saints.
Young has been shooting them across
the corners of the plate with much
effectiveness of late. The Lehigh
cudgel kings are expected TO !

| amount of authority that the present
Kaiser has over the German people
| which all know is mix"
The Lehighs are anxious of lacking
| the victory flag on their post and have
| secured Hess, a South Amboy finger
! of some note for their pitcher. He
| has faced the Saints on three occa-
sions, defeating them once INT losing
| twice on very close scores. In fact
many have claimed that he had the
| Juniors defeated In h two contests
In which the Saints walked or the
| diamond victorious, but that some OF
| his players in the field threw the
| game away by costly errors.
One of the features of the struggle
| will be the good umpiring promised.
| Two a~rbitrators of rep" have been
secured to render the decisions. Gus
| Kelly, who is remembered as the ex-
ira man in many of the games or

Birch is a member of the printing
firm of Jones & Birch. and has had
some training along theatrical lines
himself. He was at one time manager
of the Rorabaugh theater, Ottawa,
Kan. He is one of the prominent
business men of Topeka and is a past
exalted ruler of the local Elks lodge.
According to L. NJ Crawford, the
infusion of newer and younger blood
into the Grand will not only be great
thing for the theater, but an excellent
factor in Topeka's amusement life.
In addition to booking big attrac-
lions in the next few weeks, the Grand
next winter will occasionally present
photoplays of high grade caliber.

Get new TICKETS
Street Car Conductors Can Now
Sell Them Again.
Recruiting of Cars Will Be TAX
en- Up With P. U. C.

The Topeka Railway company is
again prepared to supply strips of five
tickets to it's patrons. Howard Patten.
superintendent, said this morning.
When the Scent fare went into effect
July l the company had only 10000
tickets on hand and these were used
up before more could be obtained.
For about three days the conductors
had no tickets to sell. The receipt of
another million places the company
in position to push the sale of tickets
once more.
No rerouting of cars has yet been at
tempted. Patten admitted. This mat
ter will be. taken up with the public
utilities commission in a short time
and decided upon. he said. Nor was
he prepared to make any statement
relative to what changes in schedules
might take place. The plans of the
railway company. he said, might not
suit the commission. and in that case
would have to be changed.
Working on Pavcments.
The company now has men at work
repairing the pavement between the
tracks on Kansas avenue between
Sixth and Seventh streets and the next
move will be to repair the intersection
at Eighth and Kansas avenue, Patten
said. There are also some repairs be-
ing made on the Gage park and Coun-
try club lines. according to the super
intendent. The State Hospital line has

proverbial trailers.
Patten says the company has been
embarrassed in their Improvement
program by a shortage of men, due
to the harvest. In the meantime,
Topekans are waiting as patiently as
ever for the coming for the billennium
of service
