FIVE TO TWO,
The Wichita Clippers Defeat the Wellington
Reds by the Above Score.

The crowd at the ball park yesterday
afternoon was not very large one, prob
ably owing to the unfavorable weather.
but those who were in attendance had the
pleasure Of witnessing one of the best
games that has been played in this city.
The Clippers have been in daily practice
since the Fourth of July and their work
yesterday surprised their best friends. They
have confidence in themselves and that,
together with their excellent team work,
now make them club to be feared. Their
stick work is somewhat better than it was
and their fielding is almost perfece, which
had tendency to put life in their pitcher,
who did yeoman service. For five Innings
the Reds had to be satisfied with one little
scratch hit, Cachard striking out twelve
out of fifteen men at tie bat. Sixteen
was the total strike outs he had to his
credit during the game. Taylor, in the
field, played splendid game, making
long running catch in the third
inning of what would have been
two-bagger The remainder of
the boys played their positions well; Conk-
lin behind the bat, McAdams and An
drews ON first and second bases, excelling.
smashed by a foul tip from Duncan's bat
but he did not allow it to bar him from his
work. In summing up the work of the
Clippers yesterday we can safely say that
it was far in advance of majority of the
minor league clubs.
The Wellington boys are very strong
team, by far the strongest that Wichita
has met this season. 1t is said of them
that in the two years they have
been organized they have played
156 games. losing but three, yesterdays
game being the fourth. Their battery and
infeld are perfect. For five innings they
We're goose-egged, scoring their first run in
sixth on two safe hits and an error. Cy-
piers were marked against them for the
next two innings, but another run was
scored in the ninth. Cachard's curves
puzzled them considerably, they failing to
make hit when it was needed. In several
innings they had chances TO tie the score
and especially was this the case in the
fifth, when they had three men on bases
and no one out. However, the next three
men at the bat were retired in one, two
three order.
The Andale club, which is another strong
club, will play here on Friday. This is the
first game Of the series, and those who at
tend will witness another good game, as
each club wants first blood
The following is a summary of the game:
