THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUTOTAllIOHPAY EVEIHNQ, JUNE 22, 19CS. WE GETTHE LAST Enid Shut Oat In Final Game of Series. Contest a Brilliant One In Erery Respect. PITCHERS WORK WELL llagerniau as Usual lias Sltua Hon Well in Band. Sjlrester Olson the Hero, of the Day. The role of hero In the game be tween the Enid infantile crew and the Tope lea pennant chasers at the local ball lot yesterday afternoon was divid d between Hagerman and Sylvester Olson. Hagerman, did his customary superb box work and Olson pulled oft a neat pinch hit that scored the only runs of the game. Besides Sylvester made some wonderful stops in the Held. The little Swede certainly had the grandstands expanding lungs for him yesterday and should have an nounced his candidacy for mayor while he occupied such a prominent posi tion in the limelights. It was a good game and the fans could find no fault with the result. Hagennan and Ashley who worked for the Railroads were waging a pitcher's battle and It was nip and tuck in the race for first honors all through the game. Big John, alias Scissors, twirl ed a much better game than he did Thursday when he worked in the open ing game of the series. Had it not been for one bad inning the game would have gone on Indefinitely at least until the chickens had gone to roost and the cattle in the meadows had lowed their last plaintive note. In the matter of hits Hagennan was not as stingy as is his usual wont. He allowed six different wallops to be made off his delivery but these' were well disseminated and did little dam age. Hagerman is getting in such a habit of pitching winning ball that the fans are expecting such things of him and a shut out game elicits no surprise and is taken as a matter of fact occur rence. The game was fast all the way through. The first five innings were played In Jig time and vanished like ice on a thin roof in August. Fast plays. Infinite in number, were execut ed and the game looked like an extra inning affair. But in the sixth the locals got to Big John and although but one hit came in this round the Cooleysox dented the plate twice in succession and the game was won. It Is chronicled as transpiring thus: After E. Olson had been disposed of, Davis hit a hot one to Runkel. That genial gentleman made a beautiful st6p- back of third base but heaved the ball a little wide of first. Wright fail ed" to stop the throw with one hand and Davis went to second. Landreth's Infield out put the crimson browed one on third. Kahl walked and stole sec ond. Cooley was up. The big chief had already poked out two off Ashley and after a consultation with Mr. Wright It was decided to pass Cooley. This filled the bases and left S. Olson to deliver the pinch hit. The little Swede hasn't been hitting much dur ing the present series but he clouted the ball this time in a manner that was very pleasing to the fans. A little Texas leaguer over second. Just too far forward for the eager hands of Parson Prantz, tells the story of how Davis and Kfthl trotted home with the only runs of the game. Brennan tried to bring the remaining two men home but failed. It didn't matter though the game was won. "Umpire Alloway worked to better satlsfaction-than at any previous time during the. series. In the first inning though he made one grand mistake. Parson Frants ran In and pulled one lust oft bis shoe tops from the willow in the hands of E. Olson, He rolled over several times but rose with the ball In his hands. Everyone thought the ball was caught but Alloway. At another time Alloway barked at the grandstand and a merry blast of hot vocal epithets were emitted from the stand for his benefit. No more baseball until July S. The Cooley hosts are Invading Missouri again. The last time In Missouri saw the locals mount to first place. May history repeat herself in this Instance. The merry tidings in figures: TOPEKA.

Scrappy McLear was responsible for the downfall of the Topeka team last Saturday. McLear cracked out two triples at opportune times and in addi tion hit two singles. He seemed to take a fancy to Arnold's delivery. In the first Inning he Inaugurated the game with a triple and scored when Kahl booted Frantx's grounder. In the eighth he again opened with a triple and scored on Middleton's single. The local's solitary run came in the fourth Inning. Wooley and Davis drew walks and advanced a base on a pass ed ball. Davis beat It homeward when McLear dropped Kahl's long fly. Hendryx pitched great ball. The locals had many chances to tally the necessary runs to win. but in the pinches Hendryx was tighter than an Indian away from the reservation. The score: TOPEKA. Player AB. R. H. O. A. E. S.

Joplin took the last of the Wichti series here Sundar to 2. Shaner kept his hits well scattered. Several of Shus ter"s decisions were Jeered by the spectators. Bpeer and Holland were put out of the game for disputing decisions. Um pire Shuster made several questionable decisions which provoked the wrath of the crowd and when the game was over an attempt was made to mob him. Hundreds of fan collected about the ticket office where the umpire had sought safety. It took the efforts of Frank Isbell and four officers to keep the crowd away. After an hour, when the fans still lingered. Manager Holland made a speech telling the fans that the demon stration injured the game. The umpire was called on to apologlae and when he appeared and said that he might have made a mistake the crowd cheered him and disappeared. The umpire, how- Annn..M,mfA, tn triA Pit V DV officers.

All these teams with the ex ception of the Trlpletts are In better condition than the last time Topeka met them on their home grounds. Con sequently it may be harder picking. The locals are in much better trim though than on their last trip and ought to be doing something. A little slump in batting is noticeable, but will soon be obliterated. The pitchers are working fine. All that Cooley wants is fair umpiring and he promises to do better than break even on the trip. Some of the home talent are fishing In the neighboring swimming holes to day and are enjoying themselves. Oth ers are basking in the cool nooks and crevices in the city. Holllngsworth has not had much work this season and Cooley is giving him time to get into shape. He will probably "debut" against his former teammates, the Joplin Miners. The fans are wondering why the Jop lin team is so far down the list. The T.-.U.. nuk. rina naarlv every member of the Joplin team on the all-star cast of the association. Cermack, who was recently released by Wichita, has Joined the Rockford team in the Three Eye League. Toman, the new shortstop on the Enid team, made his debut In Topeka In Sunday's game.

Bids to Be Opened at Learen worth for Pipes and Tobacco. RELIEVES THE STRAIN Physicians Faror the Bale Say ing It's a Good Thing. At Atlanta the Inmates Are Allowed to Smoke on Duty. Leavenworth, June 22. Requisi tions have been made by the officials of the federal penitentiary for the authority to purchase smoking to bacco for the use of the inmates un til the necessary machinery can be Installed for the manufacture of the smoking mixture here at the prison. After the officials receive the authority from the department to make such purchases, bids will be opened for the supply In quarterly al lowances. The privilege of smoking is a new order at this institution. Although all the other federal penitentiaries in the United States allow their inmates to smoke, it has never been practiced here. The opinions of the doctors In regard to this Drivileare have all been favorable. They seem to think that it is of a great benefit to men serving long terms In the penitentiary to use tobacco in the form of smoking. It has a tendency to relieve their minds of the mental strain which may exist from their confinement. Another thing in favor of the smoking: privilege, it is stated by all physicians mat toDacco is one of the greatest antiseptics that can be found, and that it will check disease to a certain ex tent. As soon aS the tobacco is pur chased pipes will be distributed to the Inmates and they will be allowed a certain amount per week. There will be very strict orders regarding the smoking privilege and in failing to obey these orders their tobacco supply will be taken from them and they win prooamy De punished besides. At Atlanta. Ga.. inmates are al lowed to smoke on duty, or at any time thev choose to light their pipes. The officials of the penitentiary here will be more strict regarding this than any other rule. No prisoner will be allowed to smoke outside of his cell. i When asked when the prisoners wouia enjoy tneir nrst smoke, Warden MoClaughry said yesterday afternoon: "That Is hard to tell; we haven't the privilege to purchase the material for them to smoke with yet. As soon as we hear from the department, giving us the authority to purchase it, and it gets here, we will be able to take our first smoke." A BIG ALFALFA MILL.. Wichita Company Is to Erect a Three Story Bonding., Wichita, June 22. The Kansas Pure Alfalfa Milling company, which was In corporate January 28, is to build a three story building on Fourteenth and Santa Fe avenue. Pure alfalfa meal will be manufactured. The building Is to be a frame structure covered with corrugated iron. The main building will be 100 feet by association today when Hutchinson and Oklahoma City meet In the lat- ter's territory. In view of the recent experiences of Cooley In Metvllle, we can extend our sympathies to Dr. An drews in advance. Hagerman pulled off some great base running stunts Sunday. In the seventh inning he was given a base on balls. Wooley hit a lone one to Frants and Hagerman went to sleep between first and second, and It was necessary for the locals to string a hawser out and pull him back. S. Olson made a one hand stop off Red Wright yesterday and threw the leader of the Railroaders out at first on what Was apparently a safe hit. Louis Runkel has been hitting good in the present series. He is in good standing with the local fans and ev erything that Lou does is watched with interest by Topeka followers cf the national sport. Wright says he will have the Enid team playing better ball soon. He has several good men on the string and will have several weak holes plugged up within a few days. trick Kaufman of the Midgets was certainly going a few yesterday when he scored a no hit game against the utnhln.nn Oalr Pakr. Kaufman la easily one of the best pitchers In the association ana is oouna to cum a me baseball ladder should he choose to re main with the game. He Is a student of the engineering department of Kan sas university. Roy St. John who played with To peka a little while in 1906 has been canned by the Tulsa management in the O. K. league. St. John always was a good inflelder but he liked the flowing bowl too well and his decline in the baseball world has been rapid as a re sult. The catch which Parson Frants pull ed off In the first Inning of yesterday's game but which was not allowed by Al loway, was one of the best ever seen in Topeka, The parson Is one of the best all around players In the league. He Is a good batter but he didn't have his hitting clothes with him during the Topeka series and was easy fruit most of the time. Jack Root Is now with the Spring field team. He was touched up in the first game with the Midgets for eight hits by the Wichita team and lost his game. Jack is known as a speedy pitcher and has probably as much smoke as any pitcher In the league. That is about all he uses. The fairness of the local fans was demonstrated yesterday when the spec tators hissed Alloway when he made a rank decision against Enid. Topeka fans all want to see fairness In um piring1 no more, no less.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL HONDA? EVENDTQ. JTOIE 22, 1903. Four Men Who Are Among Those Who Have Horn frped to Push the Taft-Sherman Ticket Tlirongh to Victory. Reading From lf to Right, They Are Frank Hitchcock, Arthur I. Vorys, Senator Crane and. Postmas ter General Meyer. LONG IS WANTED. Kansas Senator Suggested for National Chairmanship. He Says Ha Has No Time to Gire to It. ALL UP IN THE All J. Much Difficulty Encountered in Filling: the Place. Meeting In Washington on July 1 to Try Again. Washington, Juno 22. Now that the candidates have been chosen for the head of the Republican ticket, the scenes shift to the campaign manager who will have in charge the Republi can campaign. The members of the subcommittee, who have this In charge, adjourned to Cincinnati to confer with Mr. Taft, in order that some one might be chosen who would be entire ly satisfactory to the head of the tick et. At Cincinnati the matter was de ferred until July 1. While outwardly Hitchcock and Vorys have worked harmoniously during the Chicago con vention and prior to that in the inter ests of Taft, and are lookd upon as likely candidates for the place, it Is an acknowledged fact by those closest In touch that everything Is not friendly hetween them. Vorys' friends claim that It was his work in Ohio that made Taft's nomination possible, 'while Hitchcock's friends claim that his manipulation of the southern states was what-saved the day. During the Chicago convention Hitchcock acted very independently, and it is said. did not set foot inside the Taft headquarters, but has his own suite of rooms in another part of the building, from which he directed the moves. Vorys, In order to secure harmony, for harmony is Vorys' hobby, said nothing, but took his In structions and worked along to the best of his ability. At the time of choosing the campaign manager, which will be done on Wednesday of next week, these two men stand out prominently as the ones best fitted Tor the place, but Vorys refuses to work with Hitchcock, and Hitchcock, it is thought, would not consent to take or ders from Vorys,' so In order to secure the best results, many believe that a third party will be chosen to direct af fairs, with the antlstance of Hitchcock and Vorys. Hitchcock having on Sat urday at Cincinnati, positively refused to take the chairmanship on account of his health. Senator W. Murray Crane of Mass achusetts holds the key to the situa tion in the east. His support of Taft had been very doubtful up to the time of the Chicago convention, but during the convention he worked night and day for Taft, and Is now looked upon as a likely candidate for the Republi can campaign. Mr. Crane would make an ideal man for the position, but he has Indicated his unwillingness to serve. Should he hold this position. Postmaster General Meyer may be named. Mr. Meyer is believed In by the president, and enjoys Intimate re lations with Mr. Taft. He Is a busi ness man, and as such has the confi dence of the business community. His greatest handicap is his lack of ex perience In running a campaign, but with Meyer as head of the committee, and with Hitchcock and Vorys as his helpers, it is thought his lack of ex perience would be overcome. Senator long Suggested. Cincinnati. June 22. The report was current here after the adlourn- ment of the conference of the commit tee appointed to select a national R. publican chairman, that Senator Lodge of Massachusetts and Senator Chester I. Long of Kansas were the two names that were given prominence at the conrerence. The dlscuEslon took a wide range. long Will Not Be Chairman. Senator Cnester I.

I supposed when I left that Mr Hitchcock would be at the head of the committee, but I see that he has rt clined. I have no Idea who will be the chairman. My work in Kansas would preclude me from considering the chairmanship. I will be kept busy here at home and expect to have little rest lor some time.

Secretary Taft had a narrow escape from being Involved In a serious wreck on the Pennsylvania flyer, which was carry ing him east last night. Prompt ac tion of the towerman In a signal sta tion a third of a mile east of Coshoc ton and of the engineer r.i the flyer alone averted what might have been a dreadful accident. As the train was speeding along at the rate of fifty miles an hour, the piston rod on the left side of the locomotive broke short oft. Almost instantly the cylinder of the engine was cracked by the unman ageable rod. The train was Just ap proaching a signal tower east of Co shocton. The operator saw something serious was wrong and threw down a signal to stop the train. The engineer applied the emergency brakes and the train of six cars came to a stop on a sharp curve. The accident occurred at 6:30 O'clock when many of the passengers on the train were attending dinner in the diner. Few of them realized how narrow their escape had been from an awful accident. Taft and Kellogg entered the dining car and sat down to dinner after the accident, without thought of anything in connection with the stopping and delay of the train. The secretary made no comment when informed of it. The engineer of the locomotive ex plained that it was merely a matter of luck that averted a bad accident. "If the piston rod after it broke had gone under the train," said he, "we would have gone into the ditch as we were running fifty miles an hour and the derailment would have been a serious matter. Fortunately the broken rod landed six or eight Inches outside the left rail. That saved us." Immediately the towerman sent a message for another locomotive and after about an hour's delay the loco motive arrived and the flyer proceeded on its way east. He Wants to See Ball Game. Columbus, O.. June 22. Throughout Sunday Secretary Taft received tele grams and letters of congratulation on his nomination. They came not only from all parts of this country, but al most from all parts of the world. Many cordial messages have come from Ma nila and remote places in the Philip pine Islands, and from Cuba, Porto Rico. Panama and the Hawaiian Is lands. The secretary Is especially grati fied with the telegrams from Manila, many of which are from natives who have been his friend since he was gov ernor general of the islands. Several congratulatory telegrams have been re ceived by Secretary Taft from import ant baseball people, who are aware of his interest In the game. One of these was from Frank Chance, manager of the Chicago "Cubs," with whom the secretary is acquainted personally. "I wish." said Secretary Taft. "that I could see a rattling good game of ball. I have rot had time to attend a game for a long while. I want it to be a good one, however, a game lor blood." 'Oh, I'll show you some fine base ball," said his brother. Charles P. Taft, who Is Immensely interested In the game, "when you come to Cincinnati later in the summer." 'You see." remarked the secretary to his interviewers, logically, "Charley is not only a baseball 'fan.' but also magnate, therefore I stand a chance of seeing good ball playing." Secretary Taft was accompanied as far as Columbus by Wade H. Ellis, attorney general of Ohio, who, practi cally Is the author of the tariff re vision rlank of the national .Republi can platform. In the three hours ride between Cin cinnati and Columbus they discussed the political situation with reference to the Ohio campaign, in which Taft is peculiarly interested. Participating In the conference was Frank B. Kellogg, national committeeman from Minne sota, who is accompanying Tart east. No details of the conference were made public- KEEXES GREAT COLT COUS Is F-ntered for the $25,000 Stakes at Shcensliead and Slated to Win. New York, June 22. Colin's next en gagement is In the Coney Island Jockey club stakes of $25,000 to be run on Sat urday at Sheepshead Bay. and barring accidents, he is almost sure to go to the post, as it is the second event in the so-called triple crown of the Ameri can turf, made up of the Tidal, the Coney Island Jockey club stakes and the Realization. Colin won the Tidal on Saturday and It Is Mr. Keene's am bition to have him win the other two. more for glory than the $10,000 offered to the horse winning the three big features. Th? distance of the Coney Island Jockey club stake is a mile and a half and the best 3 year olds are eligible. Including Colin. Celt. Fair Play, Dor ante, King James. Chaputepec. Hes sian. Stamina.

The arraignments of persons arrested charged with making bets scheduled at Coney Island also were postponed, thus deferring for several days the expected Judicial Interpreta tion of the new anti-betting law. GREAT RELAY RUN Two Thousand Y. M. C. A. From Gotham to Chicago. Carry a Message From Mayor of One Clly to the Other. IN HALF MILE RUNS. The Distance 1,000 Miles and the Start July 15.

Schedule Takes in Buffalo, Cleveland and Toledo. New York June 22. Two thousand Y. M. C. A. boys will take part in the 1,000 mile relay race from New York to Chicago. This will require of each only one-half mile runs. Y. M. C. A. men In the various places along the route will be called upon to furnish their quota of contestants. The races will be agadinst time, but there will be the Best of keen rivalry to spur the race on. An automobile carrying official timekeepers will follow' the racers over the entire route, making careful record of the speed of each relay. Be sides this individual rivalry there is the rivalry of the numerous associa tions, each hoping that as a body its champions will show a higher average than the others. The direct mail route to Chicago is 900 miles. The more winding high ways that the boys will traverse is estimated at 1.000 miles. There will be nearly 2.000 boys in the race and it is expected that it will be run well within five days. The start will be made from the city hall of New York at 9 o'clock on the morning of July 15. There the speediest runner of the Twenty-third street branch of the Young Men's Christian association will receive from Mayor McClellan a message ad dressed to Mayor Russe of Chicago. The message will be inclosed In a sil ver tube. The starter will give the signal, and the youth will sprint up Broadway, followed by the automobile which is to accompany the racers to Chicago. The route will be up Broadway and at a half-mile from the starting point the bearer of the silver tube will toss it to the fleet-footed youngster await ing him there, and he In turn will set a flying pace to the next half-mile point, where another eager youth will snatch the tube and after his half- mile race will pass It to the next in the relay line. So It will go day and night until the tube, which by the time it has reached Chicago, will have pass ed through nearly 2.000 hands, is de livered to the mayor of that city. "Owing to the continuous course of training which our boys undergo," said A. A. Jameson, boys' work director of the Twenty-third street branch of the Young Men s Christian association, "It would be quite possible for U9 to pull this race off In a week. We have ex tended the time of the start, however, because of necessary road arrange ments and the appointment of district superintendents. Our tryouts have re vealed the fact that the boys' average speed is about 2:48 for every half mile. Making allowances for possible bad weather and poor roads. It Is ex pected that the average speed of the race of 1,000 miles or more will be about a ssjle in eight minutes. When you come to consider that the age llm- it oi tne contestants Is 18 years old and as the majority of these will not be over 15 years old, the plan becomes a significant test in athletics. The time I have mentioned will undoubtedly be improved, and by rough calculation we assume that the race will be run in five days. The first part of the race will be from city hall. New York city to city hall. Yonkers, a boy being sta tioned at that distance for every half mile. We average a distance from New York to Yonkers at 18 miles. wnue win De covered by 25 or 30 of our New York boys. "The schedule of our course from New York to Buffalo will be as fol lows: New York to Yonkers. Osslning. -A t-'i sa..

Will Hare 788 Delegates Com muted to His Support. MOKE THAN HE NEEDS Exceeds the Necessary Twc Thirds bj 116 Totes. Antis Hare Waged a Losing Fight Frt m the Sta t. Chicago, June 22. William Jennings Bryan can read his title clear to the nomination for president by the Demo- cratic national convention which will meet in Denver July 7.- Practically it is all over but the screeching and the yelling. The ground-swell in his favor set In week before last, when 70 delegates were added to his already Impressive list. Fifty-four followed last week. From now on he will gain rather than lose among the doubtful, the uncom mitted, the wavering and those who have been waiting for something any thing to turn up. The figures show' that Bryan with out New York and New Jersey, with only a fraction of Pennsylvania, with all other due allowances to the oppo sition and with six unreported Florida votes not counted for anybody has or will have Instructed for him or other wise committed to his support 788 dele gates, or 116 more than the 672 who will constitute two-thirds of a convention consisting of 1.008 delegates, including six from the Philippines. The Asiatic possession was not included in the call, but the delegates were elected Just the same and duly Instructed for Bryan. As the latter has an unquestioned ma jority of the convention, they probably will be admitted. If the islanders hadn't been so eager to vote for their party Idol the convention would have consisted of 1.002 delegates and Bryan would have needed only 668. The antl podeans are something of a luxury, therefore, but are probably worth the price. Four states Georgia, North Caro lina, Vermont and Montana have not held their conventions, but will do so this week and next. In these states every endeavor has been made to ob tain the most accurate, unbiased in formation regarding the probable standing of the delegations to be chosen, and the figures given may be accepted as the nearest possible ap proximation to the facts. While the anti-Bryanites, representing the friends of Governor Johnson of Minne sota, Judge Gray of Delaware and the unattached and hostile elements every where, have professed great hopes of doing things in Georgia, North Caro lina and Vermont, they have conced ed that Montana will instruct for Bry an. Facts from the front indicate that they didn't concede- enough. The "antis" put up a game fight, but it was too late tobe effective. For a time they succeeded in tying up or splitting several:" states. When the Bryan strongholds began turning out instructed delegates the antis insisted that the other fellows wouldn't stand hitching, but would violate their In structions. When that idea was ex ploded they pictured what would hap pen to Bryan when divided states where they held the cards should ap ply the unit rule. In this they con veniently overlooked the fact that this useful rule works both ways and would cut into the anti vote wherever Bryan had a majority In the state aeiegauon. More recently the antis have been de voting their spare time to an attempt to show that Bryan couldn't possibly win even with the votes they chose to concede him. The talk and the claims have had this significant result more votes for Bryan. RED. WHITE AXD BIA'E. Only Colors lsed In Decoration for Denver Convention. Denver, Colo.. June 22.
