Jimmy Burke's baseball team Is not any Bas-
sett's creek 1t be crossed in any sort Of
weather. The millers took Jimmys men out to
Minnehaha yesterday afternoon and showed them
the laughing water to the tune of go. It was
the finest game Of water polo ever seen outside
Of plunge bath or a swimming tank
Before the game started the willing workers.
at SO per, out in the inheld with buckets
scooping up the pools and carrying the contents
outside for dumping. Sawdust was scattered all
the place, and while the grounds looked
fairly good, it was a case Of mudlark all OF
the way.
Mons. Burke selected nice young chap named
Williams to do his A. D. T. work. About all
he had was blue cap and pair of spikes
What happened to him in the first two innings
was something similar to the San Francisco
earthquake confined to an area of about eight
acres.
Mr. Burke after the game was lost, kept the
young man in the ring take his punishment.
When the came out he grew trife better,
and finally pitching fair ball, working
nifty little inshoot that took much solving
pigs in clover puzzle.
Despite the fact that Hill got hit in the
first inning, the Kaw people were BANKED Mr..
Davis Of Minneapolis came up first for the
millers and put q pelt-out in the direction Of
the waiting Waldron. That 1uminary came
swimming up to get it, and had misjudged the
power of the blow. 1t sailed over his head
while Mr. Davis cavorted thru the quicksand to
first Dennis Sullivan tried to sacrifice, and
thru of Montague Slattery not
allowed to die. James Hart tried the same
thing and popped up fly which Mr.. Williams
assumed. Mr.. Greminger fell into another of
the Williams boys watts and prodded the ball
away out into left field where the water was
up to the felders chin. Mr.. Davis scored.
Graham forced Sullivan at third and Andrew J.
Oyler uppercut Mr.. Williams for another dew
drop into the lake. Mr.. Greminger came thru
the mud from second this jolt, running with
the precision and steadness of an asphalt
smoother. Shannon took a crack at the weary
Williams and Mr.. Oyler came SCATTERING thru
the moisture with score in his teeth. Captain
Fox ended the massacre with out.
Kansas City plodded along for eight more
innings without even getting in danger of scor-
people. and in addition Mr.. Williams was look
ing like a ham sandwich to starving tramp
IN miller eyes. In the second an error by Cap
F. tain Burke let Kilroy safe on first, and Davis
out pushed the twirler to second. Sullivan
singled and Hart followed with a one-corner
clout. Kilroy came. to the drydock on Harris
smear. In the third Oyler started it with a
base on balls and Shannon sacrificed Fox sent
out nice single and K1lroy's out resulted in
Oyler's scoring.
The locals made their fpal score IN the four tn.
when Sullivan led of With his third hit He
went to second Harris out and scored when
Greminger walloped out another safe one to left
After that Williams caught his bearings and
only allowed two hits for the remainder of the
game.
Kilroy, the local twirler, had verything and
followed his usual policy of sticking them over
no matter how many on bases. Kansas
City got seven hits, but never close enough to
make them at all dangerous Kilroy was In
fine fettle and, in addition to his firing work,
performed series of fine stunts in gardening
punk hits in very sloppy and slippery infeld
Today the scene reverts to Nicollet, where the
grounds are in splendid shape
