Felix, Middleton,t Bailey and Crow
Out for Golf Crown.


Only one Country club player re-
tournament being played on the Shaw
nee course. The one survivor. Ilif w.
Felix, also is a member of the Shaw
nee club This means that despite
the result of the finals Shawnee will
hold the Topeka golf crown for the
1929 season.
Felix in the third round Sunday de-
feated Earl C. Whitaker, of Shaw
nee. SIS. It was a rather one-sided
contest and upset the dope for a real
match to the finish.
Four local stars are matched in the
semi finals. Felix plays Pete Mid
dleton and w. L. Bailey plays Jack
Crow.
The two matches should be battle
right up to the last putt. Felix Is
1921 city champion and a former
state champion Middleton is a for
mer state champion and also a former
Sh vince champion. Both have To-
peHa records and are considered
among the city's six Best Shooters"
mics They have met many times in
finals and, semi finals and local tour
neys and both play par golf.
The sensation of the third round
of the city championship was the
match between DR.. w. K. Hobart, 1920
city champion, and Jack Grow. From
the start it looked like a Hobart VIC
tory. On No. IL he had Grow down
with only seven holes to play. A win
and Hobart had his oppoient out.
Even If he had halved two holes with
Crow the match would have been his
Crows shooting from No. II in was

Topeka PAYS MORE FOR COAL
Investigation To Be Made by Judge
Crawford of Industrial Court.

In spite of the fact that Topeka en-
joys lower freight rate from the
Kansas coal fields than either Kansas
City or Wichita, consumers will pay a
higher rate for coal than other towns.
That is the assertion of Judge John
H. Crawford of the industrial court.
Coal from the Pittsburg field is de-
Hvered in thirty-tone lots for 50 ton
in Kansas, according to Judge Craw-
ford. In Wichita the rate is $3.50 a
ton. In Topeka it is $10.50 a ton, 1t
is likely that the labor court will con-
duct a little inquiry into the cause of
price margins.
