A Jua.HANplEp SCORE.
The Home Team Defeat the Ottawa Club BY .
Score OF Twenty to Six.

A large audience witnessed the first
game of the present series between the OF
tawa and Wichita teams at the ball park
yesterday afternoon. The game was long
drawn cut and would have at any
other time been considered rather
dull For the first five innings it
looked like victory for the visitors, but
in the sixth the home boys settled down 70
business, and while at the bat they
pounded out three runs, giving them the
lead, which they held until the end Of the
game. The battery work of Phelan and
Conklin was perfect, both men using
clear cool head work Walsh. at short,
gave the prettiest exhibition of ball play
ing that has been seen on these
grounds this season. He played his posi-
ton in an excellent manner and also done
some wonderful work backing up the
other infielders. The home club are to be
congratulated upon securing him as a
member. McAdams played good game
at first and also done some good work with
the stick. In fact the whole team played
game beyond the average.
The OutaWas are very strong team but
were somewhat crippled owing TO the con-
dition the catcher's hands were IN and
the lameness of the first baseman, he be-
ing spiked in game a few days ago. In
the latter half of the sixth inning their
pitcher, White, was disabled and had TO re-
tire in favor of Wagenseller. The latter
had good speed but the catcher could not
hold him White has very deceptive bal
aud he has full control Of all the curves
