II old man Omar Of the wine pots had
been on the bleachers yesterday afternoon
he would have waved the skirt OF his
Omar missed 1t. He lived too soon. His
book Of verse" his Thou, whoever
she was. and his dalliance beneath the
bough" were pale and insignificant pleas
ures as compared with seeing Torpedo
Thomas scuttle and sink the Kansas City
crew at Nioollet park yesterday after
noon.
Thomas had Gears men coughing like
Camille In the third act from the time he
first spat upon his glove and placed his
foot upon the slab. They had sand in
their eyes and when they did lob up a
bait Mr.. Watkins had q man#with q re-
ceptton badge pinned on him waiting for
1t to come down. Only once did man
get to second base and that was when
Bonner reached there on a scratch hit.
Another man reached first on being
slammed in the Stats with an inshoot,z but
he got no further. McNichols went tobac-
game, rs none Of the K. G. players got far
enough to loan him bite Of the weed.
Gibson went into the box to do things
for the Kaw people, but he proved as easy
as getting in debt and had the speed Of a
raise in salary. He was assaulted and,
speaking In baseball sense, pounded be-
yond recognition. On the other hand the
blues were reaching Thomas and sending
the ball in all directions thru the field
The millers were full Of pepper and some
Of the stops and throws were sensational
Fox, McNichols and Oyler were spreading
themselves out like sticky fly paper in
fathers chair, Oyler was coming in and
disputing with Weaver for pop-up f1ys
back Of the plate, almost, and whenever
= / - Q.S 49, - hot
German outf1eld absorbed 1t like pickerel
after trout fisherman's bait.
Campion did some good work, and
Weaver was throwing to second with the
fatal accuracy Of a gas meter. In the first
inning, Kansas City went out with a snap.
Maloney, for the nlfllers, reached first on
an error by Murphy, and Sullivan got to
the first corner on Lewee's inadvertent
assist. Coulter singled and Campion sac
rif1ced. ..Mul" and "SulP' scored. In the
second inning Kansas City was Togoed.
McNichols came up for Watkins and blud-
geoned the ball square in the nose. It
bounced on the right field fence and into
the street. Oyler singled, Thomas reached
first on an error, Sullivan injected the
air with a three-bag souse, and Coulter
singled. -Four men scored.
The third was another case of ''back-to-
the grass-you -grafters" for Kansas City,
and Minneapolis was BANKED in their half.
Inc 1OurLn was dnOCfleT SCOr6leSS PERIOD,
and the fifth was the same-for Gears
guerillas. Minneapolis started fanciful do
ings when Weaver singled Fox followed
suit, and McNichols Joined the jabfest cir
Gle with a single Thomas came up, and.
the Guileless Gibson threw up a straight
one. The twirler leaned against it for
two bags. He was afraid he would be
caught at second and made slide that
was very much Lew Dockstader He rolled
around with the grace Of the
bird they call the bear, but he
reached the bag and his pals
scored. In the sixth, Kansas City was
again left as lonely as a garbage collector,
but the millers put them between the
stones for a time. Sullivan singled and
Campion got first on h helder's choice.
Weaver singled and McNichols again put
the CAD to Gibson. It was an off inning,
however, and only three men scored. In
the seventh, Bonner made a scratch two
baggor, the only hit for Kansas City dur
ing the melee. He got no further. Sullt-
van made two-bagger for Minneapolis,
but the team went out behind him. Kan
sas City never had a look at Campion's
classic countenance the remaining two In
nings. In the eighth the millers again
had the bases ,waterlogged with runners,
but Thomas took pity on the sufferers and
went out on long lob to right. The meal
tickets will be on exhibition again this
afternoon. Following Is diagram Of the
