The 'mi1lers and the booz indulged> in two
corner affair yesterday afternoon at Nicollet
PARK: 1t was an even break, but the locals
should have had both games. The first ended
3-2 In favor of Kansas City thru a bad bit of
umpiring by Peaches Graham in the fourth
inning, when the player-umpire called Burkite
safe at second when he was out by a margin
OF several feet. Afterward this Hfe-saved in
d1vidual pranced the plate and was fol.
lowed by two more of his pals before the millers
could break the stampede Kilroy pitched a
good game in the main, but hardly up to the
standard of his previous performances
In the second game Cassius Cadwallader was
filing the water bucket for the blooz and not
until the ninth inning did they get hit, and
then all because Jimmy Hart is carrying about
twenty pounds excess baggage in the way of
fat and could not get to the ball. Lefty Davis
taking it easy in his sprint, thinking the petite
James was going to get under and assimilate
the hit. The blooz. however, did not score,
but the faux pas in left center cost Cadwallader
a no-hit game. rt .-. .. T.. gs' ~ -.
AS several Of Joe DIS strike-guessers are in
disposed, the umpiring was done by George
Yeager. Peaches Graham and Fatty Leahy.
One was about as bad as the other, and it all
came thru trying to be too honest and soaking
their own eliminates. The particularly bad bit
of business was, the calling out of ;Greminger
by Leahy after the battleship had singled, beat
1t a city block and was rubbing his heels on
the grass preparatory to coming back to first
and continuing his course of study in base
purloining. - ..-0. .
In the first game Parson Frantz was sent into
the pulpit to do the demonstrating for the blooz.
The parson had big wide out that was sue
cessful, but he would have lost save for Ora
hams umpiring. p ~.
The millers scored once in the first inning on
Davis single, Freeman's sacrifice, Sullivans out
at first followed by Greminger's single. The
blooz battled along until the fourth, when
Waldron and Burke were speared in due form.
Hill singled and in an attempt to steal second
was out mile. Graham called him safe. Phyle
then tore off double-bag belt, and this, fol-
lowed by four singles, let in three runs. After
that there nothing more doing for the
blooz but time or two at bat. # ~ #E
The millers made a bid in the eighth when
Sullivan singled and Gremtnger made two
Dagger. Sullivan scored and ,Greminger was on
third when the side went out ending the scoring
for that game. Then came the massacre.
Cadwalader had everything. For eight inn
ings he had the Burkites at his mercy. Not a
made hit, and his passes were so few
that the Kaw felders, unless they were in the
next bunch of three hesitated to come in out
of the alfalfa on account Of the long and use
less walk. Only once during the game did the
Tebeau tribe get a man to second base, and it
required sacrifice to. do that. Finally in the
ninth inning Waldron drove up high one that
the felders should have nailed, but did not.
Durham was doing the hooking for the blooz
and did not have great deal more than
uniform. The millers scored first in the fourth
when Oyler sent out single, stole second, went
to third on Shannons out and scored on Fox's
single to left. E-s
In the sixth Hart drew transfer and came
all of the way when Captain Fox laced out
hummer that rolled clear to the hagpole. Will
liam nearly his legs off to make home
run Of it. but the relay was working and, De-
tectiye Jaeger called it an arrest at the plate.
Fox tawed Jaeger vigorously, but to no avail
He was still jawing him, by the way, when they
boarded a car at 6:15.
Iii the eighth Sullivan got on first thru
single and James Hart investigated the Durham
cattle industry with the muckrake. So hard did
James swing the rake that the ball dew over
into Nicollet avenue and Sullivan and Hart
came home while the bleacher thousands chort-
led like baby with the whooping cough. That
ended the scoring.
Today the teams are battling again, and to-
morrow afternoon they are billed to appear in
another double header.
