Kansas City could not have won from
Minneapolis yesterday with seven pitchers
and twenty-five flelders. Thomas was In
the box for the n1illers and had the Gear
ites brided blanketed and in the stalls
from the hrst inning. Barry was on the
point for the visitors, and, In street par
lance, was q popular pup from the tlrst
inning. Watkins men cottoned to him
nightly in the first inning, and before he
could pull up the pickering strings In his
wing $he locals had shunted three men |
across the plate and Kansas City was
beaten.
When the festival started Van Buren,
drew single and went to second on sac
eifce. The next two up were downed with
out incident Then came Maloney, and
after him the deluge. The speedy right
fielder waited until Barry lobbed up one to
his liking, and then blew out the gas. The
ball bumped the cigar sign on right Held
9ence and Maloney had his mouth full OF
second base sand before the Kansas har-
vest hands had the ball shocked. Nc
Nichols attempted to sacrifice, but the
Gearites said him nay. and he made the
bag Sullivan-good waiter. carries a tray
in Bemidj thru the winter-came up and
whistled Hold the Fort while Barry at
tempted to locate the plate with four
throws made with discus-cast precision.
Then Coulter smote the ball in grievous
fashion, whereupon Herr Maloney and
Pegleg McNichols scored. Weaver raped
Sullivan came out Of the wet on the fly
out = .sse
Leslie came to the plate with absolutely
nothing on his mind but blonde hair and
# there were any Marconigrams floating
around they caught it bad, as all the
energy was thrice wasted and none ap-
piled to the ball. Fox then ended the
soiree with lob to Barry, who transferred
1t to first before Abijiba reached that
point Of vantage. ..., ~. ..s
For three more innings Kansas City
came in and went out in an in-again- out
Rgain- ba ok to- the bench you boomers
style. Minneapolis was getting to bases
bit, but not scoring, Barry was
warming up and mixing the throws. He
would throw the bali behind the batter
one time and at his head the next. This
kept them dancing a quickstep in the box
and was q great exemplifcation Of the
doctrine of mixed shoots. In the fits,
Mr.. Rothfus, rough gentleman with hir-
suite vegetation upon his face and hands,
took advantage of Schoolmaster Thomas
and struck straight one In the back
when 1t wasn't looking The result Of this
cowardly assault upon the ball that
Mr.. Rothfus landed at third base, while
an intoxicated Kansas City travelling man
in the grand stand chortled in unholy
glee. Bonner took advantage Of Mr..
Thomas manifest perturbation and hit
the ball with the force or a switch engine.
Rothfus scored, but the next two haweat-
ers up were given little rough osteop-
athy and never again did Kansas City
have glimpse Of first place.
In the sixth inning Leslie pulled uI
with wrath, shut his eyes and swung
mady at an inshoot, 1t was speed against
speed and the Billy Bounce of the loca
team bounded to first befar che could BIZ
downed. Fox Abtjiba with the ash, came
= I, SeE
avoirdupois against the pill and made {
two-bagger. Leslie should have scored OF
this, but he sat down on third base akt
waited for his breath to catch up. 1t wal
all right. Andy Oyler attempted t.
duck wild throw inadvertently hit /
and 1t rolled fair While the Gearite!
were wondering whether to fish or Gu
bait the Leslie tied up at home dock ant
the scoring of the day was over.
Following are the vital statistics.
