Athletics Shut Out Kansas City Otis
in Final Game Of Series Hays in
Fine Form.

HE NtAlCu a tutctiOo oAhiA
a shut out to the Kansas City Otis
in the final game Of the series played
at Cauthorn Hill Tuesday afternoon,
making three straight victories
against this team. Hays was on the
slab for the locals and pitched one OF
the most remarkable games ever wit
messed by q Mexico crowd. In only
two innings did more than three bat
tiers face him, and only twenty-nine
in the entire game. This is q line
record and une very seldom equaled
in any class OF base ball. He was OPP
posed by Norris, the south paw, who
twirled Sunday, who, though very
effective at times, was touched up for
seven hits, three most timely, and be
lost again, The Mexico team put up
their usual fast article OF Dall, and
held their opponents safe at all times.
They hit the ball well and opportune-
ly and played the game In champion
ship fashion. They were accredited
with seyen safe raps, while the visit
ors were lucky 10 securing three. 1t
can be easily judged how superbly
Hays delivered the goods, as only one
man reached as far as third, only one
reached second and only two were left
on bases.
The Otis are admittedly the best
team seen here this season and play o
nice game, but were clearly o~utclassed
They are a gentlemanly bunch Of ball
toSsers and the local fans will be glad
to see them return later for further
games. They abandoned their eastern
trip after Tuesdays contest and left
that night for Kansas City.

Sunday, before one Of the largest
crowds OF the season, the Athletics
won the first game of their series o.
three with the E. O. Otis, team Of
Kansas City, by a score OF 2 TO 3
Whether the proximity OF the Ott's
horne to Armourdale or their calf's as
surance is to be given credit for theil
continual beefing we are unable tC
state, but it was obvious they knew
they were some distance In the wood
and thought any old bluff would go.
1t is sincerely hoped they will forgot
their desire to turn a base bail game
into a jawfest and use their extra
energy In playing the remainder Of the
games.
The locals played good ball, though
not the kind they usually put up; the
errors that allowed the visitors two
runs were objectionable. The base
running OF Daniels and Pitcher were
features OF the game for the local.
while Norris, pitcher for the Otis
waked the Mexico boys up to the fact
that be delivers the goods and without
the slightest delay.
In the first inning Mexico made one
run and until the fifth the men went
out in regular order. The fifth saw
Mexico start ballooning and during
the Athletics peregrlnatiOns in the
ether the visitors scored two runs anc
left the fans glum. The six tn inning
Mexico's rallying point, found
Manager Saunders boys with two more
runs which stopped the scoring fol
both sides; Hisey knocked a two
baggar just inside the first base fouI
line and Daniels and Pitcher walked
over the home plate.
The second OF the series OF three
games between the Kansas City Otts
and the Athletics, played Monday
afternoon before one OF the largest and
most enthusiastic crowds Of the sea.
son, went to the local team by a score
OF 10 to-.
The visitors put up an exceedingly
poor exhibition Of base ball and die
not live up to their regulations or tc
the game they played Sunday.
Manager Saunders has developed a
new pitcher who from the showing he
made yesterday gives promise OF max.
ing a league team at no very distant
date. Odon Willlngham, the new
find, formerly played the benches as a
substitute out fielder and catcher: and
yesterday pitched his first game. His
speed and endurance has seldom been
equalled on this field and his curves,
which he has under perfect control at
all times, are greatly bewildering,
judging from the wild slaps the Otis
made at them, and break within a re-
markably short distance OF the plate.
