TWO IN ONE DAY.
Jay Andrews Pets Suffer Brace
of Shutouts.
Hagerman and Roach Held
Them Safe From Start.
STRUCK OUT IL MEN.
This Is What the Tall Twfrler
Accomplished.
Only Four Hits Made Off the
Left Handler.

Hutchinson Salt Packers were twice
trampled under the feet of the ster-
ing Cooleysox, and not once during
the entire double session did the Salt
Packer aggregation make one imprint
In the plate. And this wasn't all. IT
was great day for the Topeka pitch
ers, the two that worked, Hagerman
and Roach. But the best feature Of
the entire day looking at the result
from the standpoint of Manager Cool
ey was the fact that thirty-fve hun
dred fans witnessed the game, the lar
gest crowd of the season. All the
available space in the grandstands and
bleachers was utilized by the fans and
fanettes. Even out on the field surged
the ball crazed crowd
In neither contest did the hostiles
from Billymorganville have the slight
est lookin at the big end of the pile.
The Hutchinson batsmen were help
less as kittens before the Cooley
sox pitchers both of whom twiried in
splendid form.
As the first game started huge
clouds crowded upon the local base
ball horizon. Hagerman was in the
Dox and both Pettigrew and /. Olson
singled to start the fireworks. Then
Hagerman with the aid of the umpire,
walked McLear, and the bases were
filled with no one out. But the elong-
ated star was equal to this emergency
as he evidenced himself by tanning
link, Casey and Johnson, three of the
mlghtiest swatters of the Hutchinson
team, in succession. This almost sup
erhuman feat called for much APP
plause and contributions from local
fandom. .-
After the first inning Hagerman
simply toyed with Jay Andrews insur-
gents. Only five men did he allow to
connect safely and outside of the first
inning these bingles were we'll dissem-
mated through the remaining eight
rounds. The browning feature of
Hagerman's work was an even dozen
strikeouts, all of which were wedged
in at opportune times. What Rip did
MT have yesterday wasn't worth hav-
ing.
Opposed to Hagerman was "Rasty"
Wright, former Topeka player,
who failed to make good last
season on account of sickness.
Wright is proving himself one of the
best in the association this season.
With yesterdays defeat he has lost
five games, the locals giving him his
worst defeat in this engagement
In the opening chapter of the first
engagement Cole singled, stloe second,
went to third on Abbott's single and
scored on Boles outfield sacrifice.
Again in the fourth run was worked
was caught trying to somnambulate
between the bases. Davis repeated the
| feat and went to second on Landreth's
single. Red tried to pilfer third but
was tagged, Landreth in the meantime
attaining second and going to third on
a poor throw. Kahl walked and
double steal sent Landreth home. The
most frightful carnage of this battle
occurred in the sixth inning. With
one down Boles singled, and stole sec
ond. Davis reached first on Olson's
error and stole second, Boles going to
on Landreth and Boles scored. Kahl's
! clean cut single to right field scored
Davis and Landreth.
! The feature of this game outside of
! Hagerman's pitching was a double
play started by e Olson in the sixth
| inning with first and escond both oc-
| cupied. Emory speared a line drive
from Casey and threw to S. Olson
| catching McLear off second.
| BY agreement this contest was linn
| tied to seven innings and the fans were
well satisfied with this arrangement,
becoming more so the longer the game
progressed. 1t was certainly a lop-
! sided contest If every there was one.
! Mr.. Harrisburg McNeeley, one of Pa
Rourke's former pupils at Omaha
started to pitch. In the first inning
four hits netted four runs and again in
the third another quartet of hits net
ted like number of tallies. At the
end of the third Wright took the
mound and held the locals helpless
! In fact he did much better than he
did in the first game.
Dad Roach, made his first appear
ance since being hit in the head by one
of Pitcher Scott's inshoots last Mon
day. The veteran was in grand form
and his splitter was working in ex-
cellent shape. The Reno county per-
formers couldn't hit with any degree
of consistency. AS a result not a sin
gle visitor passed second base. and
only once was this place reached.
The home talent batted clear
around in the first inning. Cole walk
ed. Abbott, Boles and Davis singled,
Landreth flew out to Persch. Kahl hit
a fielders choice and Emory Olson
singled. To abet the cause of the To-
Gals Haas threw the ball away. Four
runs trotted home before S. Olson and
Roach went out on easy grounders.
What Cooley's lads did in the third
was just about as bad. Davis started
with single, Landreth singled and
Persch booted the ball. allowing Ian
dreth to go to second. Kahl and E.
Olson singled and S. Olson sacrificed.
Roach got on via fielders choice and
errors by Olson and Bill link, who
threw the. ball away allowing Davis.
Landreth, E. Olson and Roach to reg
lister.
The locals pulled off two neat dou-
bles in this game. One was started by
S. Olson who caught a liner and relay
ed to his brother catching a runner
off second. and the other started by
Kahl retiring the side in the seventh
inning, when one farmer was on first
The score:
