lent. two of the three errors luckily
coming together in the same inning
where Glasscock Immediately after
ward executed an unassisted double
play. The Cowboys final pair came
after HollingswOrths muff of foul
fly had prevented the retirement OF
the side, but it was too late then Tor
the Missourians to have show OF
winning.
Revis was batted safely eleven times,
while he was hit hard on grounders
where Nicholson and Jimmy Bannon
saved his record. His fielding support
was perfect, except in the fourth inn
ing. when two errors, bad throw by
Burke and a muff by Menefee, assisted
five safe hits in the accumulation OF
six runs.
For three innings it was as sharp
game as it was close and, but for
the piling up of runs in the fourth, it
promised to remain hard-fought bat
tie to the close. The visitors were I'M
able to bat McGill hard enough, how
ever, to pull the game out after that,
and the crowd lost interest, even be-
fore the premature ending of the game,
which was necessitated by the Blues
Mcbride started the game with
fine two-base drive on the ground just
inside third base, and went to third
on Nyce's rap to Nicholson. Glass
cock was given a base and stole the
second one George hit high one,
and Pickett ran back into right field,
catching it. Mcbride scored on the
throw Kansas City claimed that Nc
Bride left third before the ball was
caught but Umpire Daily ruled con-
trariwise.
Shugart got a base also, but Parrot
forced him out at second, and two were
left on bases.
O'Rourke accomplished his old feat
of blocking a pitched pail and walked
to first, stealing second later. Nichol-
son hit a pop foul to Glasscock, and
NcCil struck out the next two.
Spies sent Pickett a fly, and Hol-
lingsworth was hit in the small Of the
back by one of Bevis' curves. Nc
GilTs fly was gathered in by Bannon,
and Mcbride hit hot one into Bevis.
which the latter was fortunate enough
to stop and throw him out, perhaps as
much by good luck as by Well-defined
intention.
Three flies to the outfeld retired
Kansas City, Menefee sandwiched
in a pass to first base, when one of
McGfus low ones struck his pedals.
Bannon threw Nyce and Glasscock
out, but George hit a two-bagger into
right field that promised even better
at the start. Shugart, however was
caught out by Menefee, and the Kaws
then came in to tie the score.
Bevis' grounder to Shugart. and
O'Rourke's fly to PARROT had almost
gotten rid of the VISITORS when Mich

standing room. McVicker followed it
with another off the same bolt, and
GeLtinger sent a long drive TO center
field for two. Nicholson was the only
one to get in on it, however, thanks
to quick throwing in, and the score was
q simple tie when HollingswOrth
threw BannOn out at first.
PARROT hit a hot one into Bannon,
who tried to throw him out, but found
that it was too big a task. Spies flew
out to Menefee. Parrot stole second
and went 10 third on Hollingsworth's
safe fly to center. Holly stole second
and Burke threw over. Parrot scored.

Hollingsworth muffed Pickett's fly,
and Shugart, after making stop Of
Menefee's hard grounder let it roll
away from him. 1t looked for mo-

pull up close again, but Burke famed
Vainly at McGilTs mysterious delivery,
and when Bevis hit a high fly to Glass
