straight game to his pitching per-
centage the Topeka athletes ran away
with the Lincoln team yesterday af-
ternoon and took the game by score
of 8 to /. Two home runs by the To-
part of the contest, but there were
enough other runs to make good
Measure.
The prospects for the locals didn't
look exceptionally bright in the first
inning. for the Links permeated the
icy crust of a shutout with one run
and took the lead. It happened in
this way. Irving Peazo Waldron. a
grand old ball player, started the fire
works with single: Gagnier hit to
Wooley who dropped the catch, but
Elijah recovered in time to catch
Waldron at second. This according
to the rules of the game exempts
fielder from an error. Jude walked
after Gagnier had swiped second.
Thomas hit safe to left field and Gag
nfer scored. This was all the Links
did during the afternoon.
None of the fans were really wor-
ried for Maggie was pitching and his
lack of endurance was we'll known.
This little southpaw didn't last as
long as usual yesterday. He put him
self in the hole on BoleS in the
second and was forced to groove one,
run. It was a long hit TO left field
and bounded over the fence. Spencer
Arthur Abbott got the first hit of
the day, a single to left field in the
second inning. Spencer worked the
delayed steal and went to third when
Maggie threw the ball away trying
to prevent the steal. Kahls infield
out scored him.
In the third Walter Boles was first
man up. With three and two Maggie
a
one to left. which bounded over the
fence. This was enough to save the
game. In the fourth, however, some
more heavy hitting figured in the
a real hit. stole second and scored
on Abbotts double. kah1 hit for
homer-an exact duplicate of Boles'
and three runs were across in the
inning.
While Lincoln was batting in the
sixth inning young Maggie was ostra-
cised from the park by Umpire Glen
alvin for too much calico masticating.
Young McGrath of Carbondale took
his place. and in the first inning the
locals got even for some of that dam
age of last Sunday, when this youth
held the Topeka players helpless. Alb
bott opened with a single and I&ahl
sacrificed. Henry singled, Abbott go
ing to third. The bases were filled
when Wooley walked. Reilly deliver
ed a nice pinch hit scoring Abbott
and Henry.
The last run of the game was a
near homer. Geier hit to right field
for three bases and scored when
Hogriever made low throw to third
just as Geier was reaching the bag.
The game was a pretty one and
wasn't nearly as one sided and unin-
teresting as it looks in the score.
wooley robbed Davidson of a hit high
over his head. but he went after it
and without great effort snagged the
sphere. A moment later Cockman
knocked a foul back by the grand
stand. on which Henry made diff
cult catch and then followed It up
with a perfect throw to second base,
preventing Thomas from scoring.
waldron had a perfect average with
three hits while Abbott got three out
of four.
Des Moines somes today and will
be here the rest of the week With
this team fighting for the pennant
there Will doubtless be some good
baseball during the series.
