Topeka Trimmed Hutchinson In Opening Game. A Score of 8 to 4 In One-Sided Contest. BOOT'S FINE PITCHING lYas Responsible For Tlctory Orer Slumping Packers. Olson's Great Stop Was the Big Feature. la a one-sided gam ra acted at the local ball yard yesterday Afternoon the Hutchinson Salt Packers succumbed to the locals In a score of t to I :The visitors never: had a tookln. In fact It was about as muoh of a flasoo as has been seen at the Topeka park this sea son. Only a let down In the ninth in nlnggavs the visitors anything of I fair appearance In the run column. The Hutchinson team 1a In a slump. This has been 6n for a oocple of weeks and Judging from the looks of the game yesterday the Salt Packers are still slumping. Individually hd ool leotlvely Jason has as good a bunch as there is la ths otroolV The pitchers are good, the players hit and field wen. but they are not doing It now. Still there Is no use of shedding tears over our western enemies as they may come strong at any time and are not so tar gone yet but what they can cop the rag. Yesterday It was the pitching of Jack Root more than anything else that contributed to the local victory. The ex-soldier held the hostiles hltless until the fifth inning and from that time was tight enough to keep out of danger all the time..'- Incidentally it was the fourth straight one which Jack has annexed to the big side of Cooler's ledger. Keep It up Jack, the fans are tor you. On the other hand the locals had Bttle trouble in finding "Happy" West cott. But no one could blame Happy very much. His downfall took place In the fonrth Inning but three large Juicy errors behind him made it al most Impossible to win. But at that Happy did not pitch up to his usual standard and deserved the loss of the game. The home talent was In a little bet' ter shape yesterday. Sylvester Olson was back at short and Boles went be hind the bat. Cooley was on the bench showing the latest fashions In dtisen regalia, while Abbott performed like a vounnter on fdrstT Cooley probably will work Abbott there most of the time from now on. It took the locals Just tour Innings to start although on two previous oc casions they looked dangerous. What the locals didn't earn in this round was certainly handed to them anyhow by the visiting hosts. Davis poked ons lust Inside of third and on a hit and run play with Abbott producing the necessary hit,- Red perched on third with Abbott on first. Kahl popped up a little one inside the plate which Haas muffed, filling the bases. Davis held third and Haas threw to second too late to catch Abbott. Davis started home and when I. Olson hoisted the ball to the clouds Davis tallied with the first run of the game. E. Olson singled, scoring Abbott and Kahl trot ted home when Casey made a poor throw to the plate. 8. Olson hit Into a double and Root flew out. Result, three runs. The rest of the way was easy for Cooler's demons. In the sixth Davis singled, stole second and scored on Kahl'e single. Three more were gar nered in the seventh.- Root singled and Westcott pasted Cole In the hip. Root was caught at the p'ate on Wooley's fielder's choice, but Bole's double to right field scored Cole and Wooley. Boles tallied on Abbott's single. The eighth run was scored In the eighth inning. Emory Olson reached second throueh the aid of Anderson's error attained third on a wild pitch and sec ond on Cole's single. The Packers-earned the first run in the fifth.

The feature of the game was a run ning stop of a hot grounder of Ander son's by E. Olson which clearly robbed the third baseman of a hit. The two teams are at It this after noon.

Accord ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acta without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection able substances.

Hutchinson at Topeka. Joplin at Enid. Springfield at Oklahoma City. Wichita at Webb City. Tomorrow's games ought to be good ones. The first game will be called at 3 o'clock and the second Immediately following the close of the first. There will be big crowds for this will be the only form of amusement within hailing distance of the city. Jason will offer McNealey and Wright while Roach and Hagerman will do the deceiving for the home talent. Anderson, who Was lately released by Springfield has caught on with the Packers and will work out at third during the absence of Dr. Jason Andrews who Is out of the game with a sprained collar bone." Slekmeyer, an' outfielder of last sea- son s team, is a lopeita visitor ior a few days. "Siek" has been playing with Farrell and other former Western Association players at Frankfort. He has been getting away pretty good and is in high spirits. Larry Milton has honed his ax for business. Jimmy Cuthbert was the first to feel the sharp edge, closely fol lowed by Pitchers Roy Gill and Ryan. Everhart, a relative of the present third Backer of the Tripletts will be taken on the pitching staff. Cuthbert, It is reported, will go to Oklahoma City, but he still belongs to Cooley and Dick will probably make other ar rangements for him for the present season. He Is too valuable a man to let the Mets have at the present time. SMvely has not made many friends in Topeka by letting Finney go back to the O.-K. league after he has done .good work in this league for a year. He was one of the fairest officials on the staff and should have been retain ed at least longer than Csar Shuster. McClintock. of the Oklahoma City team, did some good work yesterday when he got away with a no hit game, with the Mida-ets as victims. He is a .nit hail nitcher and usually wastes about a half hour getting ready throw a ball. to tvi Mitti will have to take to 'the A fw thr nrunt series with th n a mat mrm niHi roadsters, the locals will have a little easier time in retaining the hold on first nlace. Seabaugh Is catching for the Nash ville team in the Southern League. He Is doing most of the receiving for .the Tennesseeans and is hitting at a .271 clip. When the Hayden-Hurlburt combina tion took hold of the Springfield team there was an outstanding Indebtedness of 31,653. of which 31,229 was in back salaries due to the players. This has been nearly all paid by Hayden, but he Insists that the fans must go down and help pay the balance. Says Hay den: "I have plenty of money to. fin ance a team with, but have none with which to pay other people's debts." The Mets prior to the Topeka visit were hitting at a .214 pace. The two games which Hagerman twirled put the Mets back to 10 and from this the News deduces the fact that the Mets need some hitters.

II Kings xx:t Earth's best gift Is a true home. And perhaps It is more rare than most people think. The home, to be truly such, must be a shelter not only against the storms and the cold of physical life, but against the fears and worries and disappointments that weather-scar the soul. The location of the home is not the important thin It tha home Ideal. American homes are of a thouaana varieties, from the simplicity of the barest to the luxury of the grandest. ThpV are detached and Indepenaeni In the country, standing one by one amid fields and gardens, or tney are certain cells In a crowdeed hive in, city blocks and. apartments. But home, wherever rc may De, ana however crand or poor, is an abiding place of happiness, or It is not, ac cording to tha home Ideal. The home Itself may be In one room; U may be in a hut. or in a houseboat, in a duff- out or In a wagon on wheels; or it may be in a great avenue mansion, or a stately palace where for generations ancestors have been in enjoyment -of ease and culture- It matters Utue. The home ideal Is the main thing. without lova and faith ana trust and sympathy, the grandest mansion is a cheerless barracks. With these, the humblest roof covers a happy home. Home means people of kindred blood, congenial disposition and com mon endeavors gathered around one table and under one roor. strixin iu roots down deep Into primitive soil, the family signifies the permanence and the progress of trie race. The middle ages invented, or rather a twnvrA women, and thereby e tablished the home. In ancient Greece woman had no standing at all, ana tha noma wa9 onlv an abldins; place.
