SATURDAYS VICTORY AT HOME.
The Saints simply cornered up the
Pittsburg Pirates at the League park
on Saturday afternoon and beat them
to death. 1t was outrageous murder IN
ing was all over, an itemized account
of the remains chalked up this result:
Topeka Is, Pittsburg z.
But that doesn't begin to tell the
story. The celestials fwould still be
chasing runs across the plate, and the
PittSburg StogieS Sprinting themselves
into delirium tremens, chasing after
| two baggers, if it hadn't been necessary
for the Topeka contingent to catch a
z o'clock train so that they could play
at Springfield Sunday.
Big Cy Stinson went on the rubber
for the coal barons, and Special Chief

the slab under which the Saints pound

Billy O'Brien deliberately took his life
in his hands, and proceeded to commit
suicide just as Cyrus had done. His
initiation in the second inning cost
three runs, one more in the third, ana
then as many as the fingers on your
hands in the fifth. By that time the
wing-clipped were so tired that they
called for perambulatorS to navigate
them about the field. Try as they would

the eighth inning the pirattcal crew just
simply forced two more runs on them,
making total of Is.
Topeka didn't kill itself to shut off
the seven runs made by the visitors
There was no use and then it was nice
to bluff the crowd into the idea that
possibly there might still be something

HOWE was on the slab for Topeka
and was in great form. They hit him
safely ten times and while his team
mates in general backed him up, they
had six errors charged up against
themselves and these were responsible
for almost half the runs.
Dunn became sick in the fourth in

to leave the game. Abbott went to
second and Cole was put on first.
Hughes played left field. Carter was
in the middle garden because SINNERS

made two great catches for which the
crowd threw it's palms at him.
