Wichita Wins the First Game From Wellin gton
Yesterday by Above score,
The Wichita and Wellington teams
played a very exciting game OF ball on the
Latter teams grounds yesterday. The
score was large and this may be laid to the
heavy wind and the bad condition of the
grounds which We're new. The outfield
was covered with a heavy growth OF weeds
and once the ball was lost sight Of by the
fielder it was only recovered after q long
search.
The Wellingtons imported a battery
from Garnett and the pitcher, COXen, was
touched up for fourteen hits. Bronston
caught III good style. Owens and Conklin
con Instituted the battery for the visitors and
though Owens was bit hard yet he man
aged to keep them scattered. McAdams
had a. off day on first, piIing up three
costly errors The remainder of the team
played all excellent game.
