The Cooleycrow White Sox admin
istered a shutout defeat by score of
5 to @, to three regular members Of
the Kansas City Blooz. and six other
ball players gathered UP from all the
ends of the earth. The whole game
was a chilling frost
one redeeming feature lent itself to
the joke, and that was II presence OF
one Mr.. Justis, last years star pitcher
of Tebeau's Kansas City end of his
syndicate. His excellent box work
kept down the score. He gave Cooley's
hopes seven hits. but about three of
these were OF the very scratchy order
which make a manager fire a player
from his STAFF. before he has time to
strip off his uniform. Some execrable
helding(?) was executed by the Wis
itors. However, it must be said to
Decanier's credit. who played center
field for Kansas City, and he is trying
for the pitching and not the fielding
staff, that he did some sensa tional
work in the center suburb gathering in
four twisting flies that looked much
like run makers. But for the rest lit
tie can be said. Dave Zearfoss played
a good first and ran the Ultra Nuts
Johnny Henley, who played with
LeavenwOrth a couple of years ago
and before that with Pittsburg in the
old Missouri Valley, performed at sec
ond and got two hits. He did good
days work Amos Morgan, once with
the pennant winning lola team, and
just sold to Denver by Kansas City,
took care of the right garden. Tobey
Hoffman, the manager of Pittsburg's
bunting winners in the NJ. v L. last
season, handled the big nit for Kan

remark some time ago: Il would have
money all the time, yes, all the time,

innings While Cheney got seven in

in the first round. Zearfoss baubled a
