COURT HOUSE 10, LAWYERS 10
Contest at Southwestern
League Park Saturday.

The court house ball team defeated
the lawyers team by the score of 13
Saturday afternoon. But it was not
until T. D. Williams. county proba-
ticn officer and manager of the court
house aggregation. had weeded out
most of the officials and filled their
places with men from the county en-
Sineer's office and other county en-
pIoyes who were branded as fast ball
players
Most of the fans who went to wit
ness the game expected to see lots CT
last year between the fats and tine
leans. But when the court house
bunch arrived at the park they found
the lawyers engaged in some snappy
practice. Williams watched while the
attorneys pulled off some grandstand
stunts and imaginary triple plays,
then decided to sacrifice comedy for
victory. Edwin Jones, clerk of the
court house of Topeka; Clay Baker,
deputy clerk, and Douglas Graham,
county clerk, were the only actual
court house offices who stayed thru
the game.
Paul Edgar, assistant county at
torny, took the mound for the court
house the first inning. After the law
yers had made two runs, Williams
jerked him out and Clyde WATSON, as
sistant county engineer, started the
second inning. The attorneys touched
him Tor three runs. JOhn BOleys
farmer and former puror, then took
the mound, and altho the LAWYERS
got three more runs, Boley frightened
up and held them scoreless for three
innings, when they got two more runs.
Clayton Kline pitched the entire
game for the lawyers, and altho the
court house touched him for several
hits, fast fielding saved him in the
early innings Harry Colmery, United
States commissioner, was the fielding
star. He stopped several hot ground
ers and twice caught line drives and
turned them, into double plays.
Charles Crews umpired.
But altho victory perched upon the
court house banner, the county Off
Gals were far from satisfied. They
had gone to the park with the'inten-
ton of getting into the game them
selves and after they had been re-
moved from the lineup by Williams.

The Justins got away to an early lead

runs in the 4th and 5th frames. Toney,
who pitched for the losers, was stingy
with his hits in the early innings, but
a barrage Of wallops, including a pair OF
homers by Macklin and Fields, proved
too much for the finger and he was
easy the rest OF the way, until Hayden
relieved him. Martin piched for the
Tigers, and after poor start settled
