After being defeated in the opening
game Of the series which rad a disgrace
full ending for the spectators, Topeka
went in the second game yesterday af-
ternoon and with a batting carnival. the
like of which has not been seen before
this season, annexed the game by a wide
margin. Everybody on the team hit and
in every inning the local bunch of PEN
nant aSpirantS were able to connect.
Bakule, a tall college lad who pitched
for the st. Marys team this spring,
started on the firing line for the Con-
viotS but his south side offerings were
easy for the Topeka lads and after he
had pitched a little over three innings
he was taken out, having allowed eleven
hits. Hollingsworth was substituted but
the biffing bombardment never let up.
Peewee Jones who had pitched the
most of the morning game against the
Convicts went back in I'M the afternoon.
He pitched a great game and would
have scored a shutout had it not been
for the fact that Halla in left field al
lowed a high fly to Craze through his
paws when the bases were full. Thls
let in three scores. In the sixth the
Convicts secured two more which might
have been averted had not Olson been
too anxious to complete a double play
and started to throw the ball before he
had caught it.
The locals started in for blood in the
first inning. Abbott started Off with a
single and Olson duplicated the feat.
Raglan flew out to- Fisher and Runkel
followed with three-bagger which sent
in two runs. Halla hit an infield hit but
Runkel could not score on it.. In the
second inning another run came across.
This came on three singles after two
men had been retired49t Abbott, Olson
and Raglan singled In succession which
sent Abbott home.
In the fourth inning Hurlburt start
portation. Jones singled and Hurl-
burt went to third. Abbott followed
with his third single, scoring the
Duke. Olson's fielder's choice cut
Runkel hit, scoring Abbott and Olson,
At this juncture Bakule was sent un-
der cover and Hollingsworth was led
out to the slaughter. Halla opened up
on Holly with a two sacker which
scored Runkel and Raglan. The next
two. were outs. In all five scores
trotted across in this inning.
In the fifth Spec started off with a
barely missed. Jones hit safe and the
Duke was caught at third. Abbott Sc
cured a fielder's choice and Olson
walked. Jones scoring on the cont ina-
one covered the bag when Quiessers
pegged to catch him. with the result
that Abbott scored and Olson went TO
third. Ragan hit safe, scoring Olson.
Steve stole second and scored on Run
kePs infield out. This inning netted
four runs. s-et4
In the sixth Topeka scored when
Erwin opened up with a three sacker
and scored on LAWYERS sacrifice. TWO
more came in the eighth when after
Erwin singled Lawler scored him with
a two Dagger and the latter went to
third on Hur1burt's inf1eld out and
scored on Jones long fly to center
field.
The game was remarkably free from
wrangling and the spectators were
satisfied. A new umpire in the person
age of Sheep Lyle worked in the alb
sence of Kilduf on the decisions and
handed them out in good shape. Twen-
ty-five hundred people witnessed the
game Outside of Topeka s hitting the
game was featureless. * ~ n
