The New Man Gave Only Eight Hits
and One Run.

The new tlum OANe Onfy mus
and One Run.
Well, they were "the real thing" yester-
day, there's no denying that. They played
ball ike Champions, and that pennant
fioated proudly from its staff as If in recog-
milton OF the fact. Every man on the team
moved about in lively fashion, and was in
the game at all times. At last there was
life along the lines. Stewart coached in his
old-time Sioux City manner. His voice was
heard all through the> game, and his bat,
too, for he cracked out four doubles and
q triple and gave Butler chase for the
only out ne made. 1t was something Ike
last season, and the faithful fans" were
IN ecstasies over It They have been more
or less patiently awaiting such an event,
and they reveled in It. That's the sort of
ball playing that wins pennants. Twenty
hits. with total of thirty-fve bases off
two Columbus pitchers, and not error.
There's a record to be proud of, and it
does much toward squaring the bad show
ing of the past two weeks Now let the
champions invade the West with that sort
OF ball and they viii come back very close
TO the top. They have struck their last
years gait. Let them keep it up.
