GOOD TEAM WORK

Bill Howie's fine pitching. sandwiched
at the apropos moments with excellent
though not spectacular fielding. defeat
ed the Wichita Jobbers with compare
tive ease on Fourth of July afternoon
at Association park. The score was the
same as in the morning, to 3.
Just at the windup. while the last dog
was being hung, the Windy City delega-
ton made a stab at winning out and
succeeded in sending some North Pole
temperature chasing up and down the
Vertebrae of the grandstand and bleach
ers.
When the Jobbers came to their last
chance of laying wood against horse
hide, Gehring lifted a high fly to Alb
bott. Green of cowboy fame, and Pa
cific Coast Farris, both singled in sue
cesSion, laying their hits fair and clean
between the basemen. Milton drove
little grounder to HOWE and was an
easy out 1T is all over gleefully sang
the fans. But Dan O'Leary had still to
be reckoned with. He picked out one OF
Howey's fast inshoots, smashed it
square in the nose, and the pellet went
screaming between second and short in
to the tall weeds. Green and Farris
spTouted wings on their pedals as they
Whizzed over the sand and both made
successful tracks to the home-plate.
That made the score 4 to 3, still how
ever, in favor of the White Legs. Roy
BeVis well known for his hitting, came
to the rubber, and there was fear and
trembling rampant in the atmosphere
But the best that the phenomenal field
er could do, was to lift a high pop-up,
which Fatty Blackburn smothered in
the grease of his chubby hands.
Then pandemonium was called upon
to do duty. She was as Of yore, but
feted from pillar to post, kicked from
blsacher to grandstand and back again.

fiiction. About every other fan was
armed with blank cartridge peace dis
tllrber, and Mrs. Pandemonium looked
like a porous plaster, or a glass roof
after a hail storm when the Shooung
fest was finished.
Topeka had amassed three runs be-
fore the visitors even had a look inside
the crust to see what kind OF pie was
was being dished up to them. In the
second round a felder'S choice put Alb
bolt on first, he purloined the second
station, and Blackburn's grounder put
him on third. Then Henry walked and
blurred theft OF second. O'Leary threw
short to Farris but his aim was bad.
The ball caronned into the weeds and
Abbott romped home. In the third in
ming Quigley walked. and Lazotte gain
ed life on a fielders choice. Dunn done
it." Big Togo was there with the goods,
ali wool and three yards wide. He bis
tered the pill for two sacks and it meant
two runs.
The fifth opened with Wichita scor-
ing. OLeary doubled. Lazotte fell over
be edwards in attempting to catch
Hoods deep fly to right and the big
Windy City catcher raced across the
warming pan. In their half of the
fourth, the White Legs also did bust
ness. Henry singled and swiped a sta
ton. Howey-yes, Bill Howey-ham-
Inered him home.
Lewinson was late in getting on the
field to handle the indicator. AS Stewart
and Bemis started to officiate and just
as things were in a wrangle in the Sec
ond inning, the Israelite appeared on the
scene of activities and took charge. He
got away nicely with the exception OF
two rows with Jack Holland over base
decisions. both of which were very
close.
Captain Holland, of the visitors. re-
tired in the seventh in favor of Milton
at first. In sliding to the initial sack
Quigley knocked the big Jobber off his
pins, by planting both of his brogans
against Hollands ankles and shins.
Lazotte, Topeka's new acquisition die
not stand out very strong in the lime
light. He made one error in the field
and one brilliant catch. At the bat
the best he could do was to knock in
field gTounders which were converted
into easy outs. although he furnished g
sacrifice when needed. He did not gel
a hit in either game. But, from mar
