Big SOuthpaW Let Down in Ninth
and Allowed Three Bingles.

Peewee Jones was again in the box
for the Topeka White Sox at Wichita
yesterday and had the Wichita bunch
at his mercy in every stage of the
game. Jones pitched great game
against Wichita last Thursday in the
opening game of the series and yes
terday he repeated his performance in
an easy manner Not until the sixth
inning did Jones allow a single hit and
not again until the ninth inning when
the game was practically won were the
leaders able to connect with his
curves.
Pitcher Frank Dick of the Wichita
team pitched his first game of the sea-
son against Topeka and barring the
nth inning pitched a creditable game
Dicks support was not of the gilt
edged order and the Wichita bunch
seemed to have less confidence in their
playing than ever before this season.
For the first time in the Topeka series
the whole strength of the Wichita
team was in the field. Buck Weaver
returned TO work behind the bat and
Captain Jack Holland. who was sus-
pended for disorderely conduct. broke
back into the game. He was given an
ovation by the Wichita fans and was
Missed by the visitors from Topeka
who were in the grand stand.
Topeka started out in her customary
manner in the first inning of getting a
run across the plate without the faint
est sign of a hit. Lawler walked and
was sacrificed to second by Captain
H1rlburt. Abbott's inheld out put
LAWYER on third and the latter scored
when Hetling made a poor throw to
first on Davis grounder.
In the fifth inning the Topeka men
landed with a vengeance on Dicks
delivery Erwin was the first up and
fouled out to Holland. Raglan singled
to left and purloined second. RunkeI
followed with another single, scoring
Ragan- Olson hunted to Dick and was
safe when no one covered first base.
Pitcher Jones then contributed to win
ming his own game by scoring two men
with two Dagger to the center field
fence Lawler went out and advanced
Jones to third where he scored when
Kelly missed an easy grounder from
ond but a good throw of WeaVer's
punctured his plans
The last run of the Champs came in
the ninth inning. Holland dropped
Annis' throw of Davis grounder and
the crimson completed gentleman
was safe at first Erwin singled and
then after the next two were out OIL
son doubled to center field, scoring
Davis.
Not hit was secured off Jones until
the sixth inning when Dick opened up
with a two Dagger over Hurlburt's
head; after the next two were retired
Hetling singled to right field, scoring
Dick.
In the ninth Jones took a littel re-
taxation and allowed the Wichita team
a little practice in base running. Mich |
OILS singled as a starter and Hetling
few out to Raglan. Nichols started for
second and when no one covered the
bag on Erwin's throw went to third. |
Bayless secured a two sacker inside |
the third base line, scoring Nichols. |
Holland went out but Weaver singled, |
scoring Bayless. Annis went out in |
easv shape and the series was ended |
with the teams even. This is the first |
time such a thing has occurred on the |
Wichita grounds this season and the |
followers of the Breeze bunch are |
much discouraged as a result.
A large crowd of Topeka rooters |
were at the game and kept things in
teresting.
In the field Olson was the star, as he |
pulled off several remarkable stops.
The score:
