The Topeka White Sox lined up
against a team from, the Kansas Guy
Blues Sunday afternoon and when t ile
final smoke had cleared away Iopeka
had the big end of the score OF 10 z.
The game was not a particularly IA ST
one but for this time OF year 1t hlled
the bill and satisfied the crowd OF a
thousand loyal fans who braVed the
chilly atmosphere to witness the game
Cooley is anxious to give his big
bunch of pitchers chance TO WORK
ont so he sent three in against the
Blues all of whom pitched good
enough ball to beat Tebeau's men
Slater was the first man on the rubber.
During his career he allowed three
hits and famed the same number
Kansas City pushed one man over dur
ing these three innings. In the second
AIMING Durham started off with a SIN
gle and was sacrificed to second by
Moler. Crisp famed but Sullivan hit
safe and scored Durham
In the beginning of the fourth inn
ing Cooley sent Clark, the Garden. City
recruit, in against the Blues. Clark
blanked them in the fourth but in the
fifth they made temporary acquain-
tance with his Slants. Crisp who had
mt been doing much to get his name
in the paper started out with safe
hit which through poor fielding passed
for a double and moment later Sui
lixan singled scoring Crisp. This was
all for the fifth. After striking out
the first two in the sixth Bull Dur
ham hit safe to right and Davis over
ran the ball, Durham reposing on sec
orad when the Spalding again reach
terra firmae in the dianond.s Moore
few out to Olson andghopes for the
visitors passed away. ~
Halla was sent to the rub berlin the
seventh inning and no scores were
made off his delivery. The last OPP
portunity for the Blues to score. came
in the eighth inning. Kraft opened
up with a double and went to third on
Edmondsen's fly to Landreth. Klein
famed and while Crutcher was bat
ting Kelsey stopped a wide throw of
Halla's but did not hang onto the ball
md Kraft started home but was tag
ged out by Kelsey Thus the last hope
of Jimmy Burke's Colts vanished. ~
The locals started business in the
first round. Landreth allowed the ball
to hit his anatomy and went to sec
ond on Henry's inf1eld out and scored
On Davis single. In the second Boles
started off with a single and went to
second on a grand larceny count. He
scored on Henry's safe hit
Nothing more occurred until the
fourth. Raglan walked and went to third
on Clark's single. Raglan scored when
Landreth hit safe but Clark was caught
trying to reach third on the play.
Landreth going to second. The former
western Kansas cow puncher scored
when Davis secured his second hit.
After the fourth the locals refrained
from anything violent for a few in
nfngs so that Pitcher Kraft might not
lose his job. In the seventh Sullivan
sent in Durham and 1t began to look as
though the local end of the scoring had
stopped but in the eighth Durham got
his. RunkeI and Boles singled in sue
cession and were both sacrificed on a
station by Raglan. Halla and Landreth
both reached first on errors and after
Kelsey doubled four runs had crossed
over the registration station.
For the locals all the players showed
up well. BoIes probably did the best
work, of any of the men as his fielding
was of the brilliant order and he got
everything that came his way. Raglan
had a busy day at short and got away
with but one bobble. - All the pitchers
put up a creditable exhibition and show
ed signs Of the real goods Cooley will
certainly have a hard time to decide
who will be the pitchers to keep. For
the visitors the work of Moler on third
and Crutcher on short were the features.
In the last inning Moler hurt. his finger
and Olson of the local team took his
place. McInnis umpired and did well
for an amateur.
