Topeka fans please sit up and take
notice The naturally heavy hitting
Cooleycrows seem to have recovered
their batting eyes at last. Twenty
four hits in two games in one day,
which they gathered in at Webb City
yesterday, is just about as good as any
team could do with the stick.

AdeInnis, he of the strong arm, has
certainly hit a pace for the other

complished the unusual feat last week
of pitching two winning games in one
day and in the first game at Webb

souri, siuggers but two hits. and only
twenty eight men faced him. That is
pitching some.

Some of his statements were uninten-
