fans on the tiptoe of uncertainty until
Mauck, the Topeka pitcher. settled the
contest in the ninth inning by making
clean hit and bringing in the winning run
after two men had been retired. There
were errors, there was some hard hitting,
and there were some wonderful stops
made that simply set the cranks wild
with delight. The game was won and lost
in several ways McCloskey who had
been making Mr.. Mauck weary by his
hard hitting, lost the game by letting an
easy grounder go through his legs. Rel
ser. who was playing short and who made
some very clever plays. fumbled the ball
in the ninth inning. when he had an OPP
portunity 10 make a double play. Fear,
the Woodworking catcher for the Topeka
CLUB. tried to give the game to Wichita
by overthrowing third base and letting in
two runs at a critical time. Both pitchers
were raped hard For seven innings
Hardy pitched magnifcently, allowing
only six hits and keeping them well scat
tered, but in the eighth the Topekaites
connected with his shoots, curves and
snaky twisters for five hits with total
Of seven bases and five runs. 1t was rasp-
ing on Mr.. Hardy's nerves and it had
tendency TO make his support become too
anxious to win akd thereby make errors
that otherwise would probably not have
been registered.
Mr.. Mauck was touched up in pretty
lively shape. 1t looked for while as if
he would have to give way to another
twirler, but he retrieved himself by win
ming the game when the bases were full.
For the visitors Rebesman and Gate
wood carried off the fielding honors and
Price and Thiel led at the bat. For the
Wichtas Hubert and Rose did the best
in the field, and at the bat McCloskey
Dunn and Mayer did good, timely hit
ting. Montgomery both at the bat and
catching did first class. 1t was his hit
and clever base running that tied the
score in the first half of the ninth in
ming.
