Oh, the mild exhilaration, when the
home team Is ahead
And the subsequent vexation, when the
rivals win instead
Count not with living horrors, rending
every human heart.
When your idols fall like dummies, after
getting fine start.
When the narrative of the Kansas City
! teams exploits shall have been written,
| there is one thing that will not be said,
| and that is that they were of that short
/ winded, asthmatic variety OF cVer-trained
| horse flesh known to the technical pat
| rons of the turf es quarter-horses. When
it comes to batting out victory In the
ninth, the blue Jacketed rough riders from
| the muddy bottoms of Kansas City have
l. 1t systematized to an immortal cinch,
| and they are reasonably expert in tenth
| inning finishes, although they haven't had
great deal of practice there. Manning s
coterie of strange faces seems to mantle
| considerable base ball talent i'll the line
of smuggling the ball, which usually lies
dormant until Just about the time the
average fan thinks he'll saunter home
and have little something to eat. He
gets about half way to the outside gate,
when suddenly behind him he hears an
exultant shout from the enemy's bench,
a r a
cap over an electric light wire, and in a
minute the ball is chasing back and forth
over the diamond like a flying sesadron
in search of the Spanish navy, which it
cannot find. If he is a real f6n and game
he comes back and takes his medicine
If he just went out to see the home team
win, he meanders along home and gets
his supper, for ne is all through on the
other end of his expectations when Roth

rest of those Kaw valley single stickers
proceed to go out after the horse hide in
the last inning. From somnolent, lacka-
daisical, salary Serving spectators, these

THE stuff's off,
1t was off Friday.
1t was also off yesterday.
Friday it was DenZer. Yesterday it was
Fisher. 1t might as we'll have been the
personiflcation of all the consummate
| genius that ever faced a batters box
because when that Missouri aggregation
gets started the bell wether has to have
a motorcycle to keep out OF the way of
the swiftly following herd. Over the
fence. Over anything. They'll bat the
ball SO hard that the cement on the in
side seeps out through the seams and
burns the hands OF the fielders after it
has been Stacked on the wet grounds of
the outfield. If the Kaw team had a yell
it would probably be:

TIL the end of the eighth inning Chaun-
| cey Fisher had the Kaws under his thumb
like a jack-in-the-box.
Then they got out of the box, and when
1t came to rounding them UP again he
was buster than little dog in high oats
He really could not get them settled down
again. If they don't settle at their hotels
any better than they do in the ninth in
ming, they are poor patrons. But they
must settle, sometimes.
