the pitched. Not single base on
balls did the Kaw team get. Four
times they famed the air. Eleven
times only Gid they safely connect with
the long ones curves. When they did
they profted thereby to even more than
the usual extent, and they fully earned
their five runs, but those were not
enough.
Manning has strengthened his team
by the addition of Gil Hatfield, last
year with Toledo, and until a day or
two ago with Fred Pfeffer and the rest
in Louisville, and the hitting of the
team may be expected to show up bet
ter hereafter. The gain was offset
yesterday, to a large extent, at least
by the absence of First Baseman Klus-
man, who was called away by the
death of his mother. Pitcher King
played first in his absence, and his
one hit was fine three-bagger. Man
ming will probably switch his batting
order when Bill gets back, and then
trouble is promised for some of the
Western league pitchers when Hernon,
Connaughton, Nichol, Klusmans and
Hatfield get at the bat within a few
laps of each other.
Stultz pitched for the visitors, and
he looked like "custard pie" when he
was pounded for four safe hits and two
runs in the first inning.
1--WE won't do a thing to him, l
guess" remarked Werden, as he
scored, 81 could hit those with my new
cane"
Kansas City had two men strike
out and was content to shut out the
1Ono lC fAR. Tn, I0
Kaws punched three singles, and
scored once. Perry found that even
with a bat, he could only hit a fly to
Connaughton, and the locals were shut
out again.
Healy's Waterloo was then called,
and the enemy came at him, foot, horse
and dragoon. Connaughton and Nichol
both hit safely, and then Killing drove
the BAH out for three complete bases,
which tied the score. Hatfield also
took a punch at the ball, and the
visitors were one ahead when the
side was retired Minneapolis laid a
goose egg, and it looked a good deal
like rain. Rupert came to bat next,
and he had concealed in the tip of his
bat one villainous drive, which he let
go without delay. The ball skirted
along the right field foul line away over
toward the private barns and when
Joe Straus had winnowed the sphere
out of Jones oats crop, Mr.. Rupert
had made a complete circuit of the
bases. 1t was a good home run,
rarity on the Minnehaha park Sue
cess, however, was too much for the
visitors, and they did not score again.
1t was now the fifth inning, and
the locals had to- get in before the rain
Or lose. They did not lose. Straus
made scratch hit, and Werden batted
the ball out. Jim Burns hit fly to
Rupert, which fell low, and Burns
thought it was caught. Rupert dropped
it, however, and then threw to Sec
ond. to catch Werden. He failed
here and Manning put it to third,
to catch Straus, and again they failed.
Meanwhile Burns had been standing
in a semi-trance about half way to
first base, and was walked up in time
to reach first some little tine before the
ball. Lally struck out. and Kuehne
hit a long fly to Nichol. Straus scored
on the throw in. Werrick then lined
the ball out for three bases. and after
that the locals never were headed.
They punched three more runs in the
sixth inning, and pounded in another
in the ninth, making an even 10.
A peculiar play was made in the
second inning. Bergen was on second
and Rupert on third, when Stultz hit
a fly to right field. 1t fell a little in
front fo Straus. but it was SO near
him that the runners were afraid to
play off, and the ball went to Hulen
at second and down to Kuehne before
the forced-off men could touch saw
dust again.
Hulen piled in a couple of bad
fumbles in the ninth inning, after two
men were out. but; fortunately the
visitors did not score.
King spoiled a double in the third.
He got the ball in his big n1itt, but
couldn't hold it. 1t was like Hulen's,
however, in that it did not let in any
