a couple Of catches that under ordinary
circumstances would have been base hits.
The Ottawas played fine game up to the
fifth inning when Davis was pounded
very hard. This seemed to discourage the
| Ottawas and from that on they were
never in the game. Twice they had a
chance to tie the score, but Donovan,
who pitched a magnificent game, when a
hit was needed would not let them have
! it. Try, son of Mr.. Mute Try OF Fort
! Scott, is playing with the Ottawas. He
/ did the best hitting yesterday. The Otta-
wa boys are gentlemanly set of young
! fellows and took their defeat in a philo-
sophical manner, but with grim deter
minatior to pull out Of last hole in the
league race. This season they have
played the Schmelzers, Armours of Kan
sas City, Coffeyville Independence and
| other teams, and have won all of them.
