Tattered.

Mr.. CharleS COmlSkey'S White SOX
Siftings yesterday afternoon proved a
little bit too much for the Topeka ag-
gregation who a few years ago forage
the nom-de-plume Of Comiskey's pets.
The score was to 6 and if the score
indicated with any degree of certainty
the comparative strength of the two
scoring machines as displayed in yes
terday's game, a score of much larger
proportions would have to be recorded
for the understudies of the former
worlds champs. The game was played
in one of the worst wind and dust
storms of the season.
The game started out to be a close
one and it looked at one time as
though the bench warmers of Mr..
Comiskey were to receive the same de-
gree of hospitality and cordiality as was
accorded to Washington during the
last two games of the series. But such
was not to be the case for the Chi
cagoans were hitting the ball with too
much regularity. These gentlemen
from the Lakeside village carry an
awful array of swatting sticks with
them. Comiskey has a large leather
barrel in which he carries an infinite
number of bludgeonS and it was these
which caused so much Juror to the
locals.
And then the two twirlers Of Mr..
Comiskey had something to do with
the result. Mr.. Most was the first to
mount the local slab. He was touched
for six hits in five innings and with
a couple of errors and daring base
running the locals were able to realize
five runs during his career. But such
was not the case with, Mr.. Freeman.
The former Central Lacquer has an
underhand ball which comes sailing up
to the plate like a rattlesnake in the
mud and the locals with but two ex-
ceptions were completely baffled by
this offering.
Dr. Walter Pollard, M. D., was the
first to receive the attention of the
visitors. Pollard worked the first four
innings and really gave good ac-
count of himself The slants were
slaughtered for six safe ones but these
would not have been as disastrous as
they were had it not been for some
rank errors behind him. At that he
made a, good showing and when he
quit the locals were a little to the good.
After Pollard's retirement it was up 10
H. H. Hagerman. The visiting players
gave the young gentleman from New
Mexico a warm reception and rendered
him their best attentions during the
remainder of the game. He started IN
the fifth. Three singles, a double, an
error and another single all followed
suit before a single out had been reg
istered in the press box. He however
steadied down and towards the end Of
the game was pitching much better
ball.
The locals were handicapped by hav-
ing a crippled infield. Boles with a
sore arm played short; Bailey, who is
not a member of the team but a young
lawyer in Topeka, was drafted from
the courtroom to fill the third corner.
Kahl with a stiff leg had to play sec
ond and Cooley himself was compelled
to give way to BARLEY.
The fans, many of whom saw the
team in action for the first time, were
generally pleased with the team. Far
rell, the Texas outfielder, made a hit
with the crowd and if he can keep up
| the stride he set yesterday he will be
playing in the big league next season.
