Jeff City rook Two Games by one
Run-Every Team Lost at Home
in the Sunday Game.

games jeff City won from lola by one
run, pulling herself up to sixth place
and landing lola at the bottom
The Saturday games resulted as
follows:
Springfield beat Nevada in a 20
inning game by the score of to l.
Morton pitched for Nevada and Kane
for Springfield. Nevada got her run
in the first inning, Springfield one in
the ninth and one in the Goth. Seda-
liza beat Chanute 3 TO l. Joplin beat
Ft. Scott in ten-inning game to 3.
JEFF City beat lola 5 to 4.
The game here was good one and
a shade the best of the luck gave the
game to the visitors. Holla pitched
good ball for the visitors and Millsap
did we'll for lola The infeld was
muddy and the players slipped on the
on ground, Millsap falling down
fiat three times in getting scratch i'm
field hits which should have been
outs. IL was as fair for one side as
the other, but lola was unlucly in the
slipping
Sundays game was one of the
prettiest and undoubtedly the cleanest
ever played here, Forney pitched for
lola and Outright for JEFF City.
Neither team could hit much, but lola
several times had men on second and
one on third. She got four sor five
hits scattered among the first nine
innings but they came when useless
and no two we're punched. Forney
took thugs easy andlgave the visitors
but two hits in nine innings. he
reserved his strength and when
he ninth inning was over and
neither side had scored he, began
to steam up. No body scored in the
tenth. but in the 1lth JEFF City got one
run and won the game. Outright
got a hit. Forney made one wild
pitch and Outright went to second.
The next batter went up, with two men
out hit scratch lick thai popped she
ball over secC n baseman into right
field. Pratt ran for it but the wind
caught the slow ball and carried it
away from him Outright scored on
ae hit. lola came to the bat to tie
the score. Wilson hit beautiful
line drive that should have been good
for three bases, but the center fielder
made a quick run and luckily nabbed
it with'one hand. Shaumayer flew out
on long hit and the next man got a
safe one but never past6rst base. Each
side made one error, neither one
costly. 1t was a neat, clean, clever
game, anybody's game till the last.

WON LAST GAME
Anyone who saw the three games
played here between lola and JEFF City
will agree that lola should have won
all three of them, and it is a cinch
lola deserved to win the first two more
than she did the last one.
Mondays game opened with Nor
gan pitching for lola and Lawtner for
jeff City aud the visitors were conf
dent they we're going to gallop off with
three straight games. Neither scored
ia the first but in the second. thanks
TO two or three errors and bunch oi
, safe hits the visitors trotted in -four
8 runs. 1t looked rather gloomy for
lola. The third and fourth innings
were goose eggs. In the fifth lola got
one man across the plate. In the sixth
lola chased four in and in the seventh
one more. Forney played right field
excellently and cracked out two two
baggers in the game, which helped
some. Morgan settled down after thai
bad inning and pitched good ball,
, pulling himself out of some awful bad
holes. Twice we're the bases full and
there we're men on second and third
two other times, but nobody scored
1t was good game for yelling, fol
all the fans gave up when the visitor:
, got those four runs in the second inn
ing.
