earned run. Pratt made two runs and

grounds has a gulley across short
stop making it impossible for the
players at that position TO Judge The
balls and both short stops made err
rors. Oswald for lola was hit on the
chin, in the ribs and on the legs by
wildly bouncing grounders and the
'>fesult was costly. Fourteen lola hieh
died on bases, showing that there was
lack of hits at timely moments,
/, Shaumyer opened the game with o
rush. being first man at bat, by knock
ing a homo run over the center fences.
The second game was lost because
the team was crippled. In the first
inning lola had the game going again
with lead of to /, when Kuran, the
catcher was hit by pitched ball and
had to drop out Of the game. This
necessitated the bringing of Speck ip
from second to catch, DuShane, from
center to second, and putting Morgant, !,
who was sick, in the field. Morgan
-muffed three flies, Speck hit runner
going to first on the head which bob!
, let in two runs. Later In the
ne DuShane while at bat was hit by
pitched ball, his right hand being
ihed between the ball and bat. So
ther change had to be made.

I'm an easy one. The lola felders
yer had a single chance. fola
atted in her two runs in the, first
ming, as she did in each of the
lree games. Sedalia got two men on
pses thanks to lola errors and scored
=. tr two runs on an overthrow by

first base and lola got three runs. &,
Tine. jeering, cock-sure, hooting
roosters, who bowled with delight
when lola players we're hurt, sat,to the
number of 200 in the grand stand and
waited for Forney to fall down. They
tsaid he would it. But he didn't and
the rooters were gloomy outfit. They
