Buck Weaver Preparing For Batting

In this round which proved the de-
cisive one Of the game, Hughes led off
with a single to left field. Pencil laid
down a bunt and here is where the
trouble commenced Both Abbott and
ISahI tried to field the ball. From the
press box 1t looked as though either
could have taken it. but the bag was
left unguarded and Pennell was safe.
Holland moved each runner a peg
with another sacrifice-this one being
properly felded. Westerzil hit one to

ball until Hughes registered. Event

was the one on Westerzil who was
caught where he could puncture the
bag with his feet. There was an album
dant opportunity afforded for the
throw to the plate. Pennen scored
from second a moment later when
PettigreW dropped Texas Lacquer INTO
right field. With this present of two
runs to the Chesty Leaders, the To-
peIa athletes worked with a listless
spirft,-a gingerless, chaotic mob.
Topeka counted once in the sixth,
thanks to two walks by Brennan. With
one out Cseier walked. Kunkel famed

transportation. 1t looked like fruit

one of his present winners at least is
due for a slump. He knows IL and is
trying to get his strings on one or
two.
The Topeka team disappointed some
or the fans when the present home
series opened up. The team dropped
two in a row to Denver and the club
wasn't hitting. Now it is different and
the fans are happy. All of the players
seem to have recovered a batting eye
and nearly every game of late has been
won by opportune hitting. The pitch
ers are working better and the club
is fielding good. In fact Topeka has
one of the best fielding clubs in the
circuit. We are headed for a higher
position in the race and with seven
teen more games on the home grounds
we ought to do well.

Notes of the Game

Mullen umpired a pretty good
game, but it is certainty that he
didn't give anything to the home
crowd. When he arrived late he
got the glad hand from the fans.
Mullen has good following here.
Stanley Robson. the president of
the st. Louis Cardinals was in the
grandstand. Mr.. Robson is on a quiet
hunt for pitchers. The Cardinals
only have three who are working
good now and there are some double
headers to come later on Beebe,
Phelps and Sallee. are the trio
Robson will have pretty hard
time to get any players at this time
of year.
Brennan who worked yesterday is
merely loaned to Holland by Kansas
City. He will revert to Mr. Tebeau
in the fall.
Cooley worked out on first a little
bit before the game. Dicks ankle is
still in a bandage however.
1t is probably Burnum this after
noon and Hendrix is due to repeat
tomorrow.
