The other homer by DR.. Jason was a
sort Of accidental affair. Fenlon had
singled with two men out and Dr.
Jason on the hit and run sign hit to
right field for what looked like a single
Dalton ran in on it, and the ball took
a peculiar bound just as he started to
grab it. Dalton lost his balance, while
the ball rolled clear to the fence. Dr.
Jason ran clear around in fast neat.
When he reached the bench he tried to
whistle few strains from Tannhauser
but was completely winded.
Biersdorfer, the crack SouthpaW OF
the enemy, essayed to work. During
the fore part of the game he was WILL
and apparently all that was nee sssary
for a walk was to stand at the plate
; nd look at the ball. From the start It
looked like a walkaway. but after the
DR.. Andrews catastrophe, he steadled
down and the locals vera unable to
score.
bolivar Kaufman did the twirhng
for the home gang. BohVer was hit
hard, thirteen Dig ones, but they were
widely scattered ana sharp fielding
kept the score down. Twice runs were
cut off at the plate IN hard chances.
The Des Moines crowd were tired
from a long ride from Denver, and 1t
took about four innings to get started.
Matticks beat out slow one In the
fourth and went to third On Dwyer's
single to short center. Niehoff's hit to
= left field sent one run across.
In the fifth another was carmel when
Heckinger led off with single and
reached second on Biersd orfer's iufield
out. and ambled home on Cooligan's
single to center field.
The third run came in the eighth in
ming With one down Dwyer singled
and reached third on Dalton's double,
scoring on Niehoff's third hit of the
game. Dalton tried to score on Gilman
tins out from Kaufman to Cooley, but
a quick throw to the plate by Sir Rich
ard terminated the eighth inning hopes
of the visitors.
A batting rally was started in the
ninth round, which brought the Wis
itor's tabulation within one run of
tying the score. With one out Curtis
went in to bat for Biersdorfer and hit
the ball for three bases. He scored on
Cooligan's infield out. Bader hit safe
but the game was ended when Fenlon
caught Matticks' long fly to the fence.
Outside Of the two home runs the To-
peka crowd did not reach its customary
standard in the batting department.
The hits were scattered after the third
and could not be secured at the proper
moment. But there are still many
paeans to MARBLE over the great i'm
provement in fielding on the part of the
Cooley crew. One or two inf1elders
showed disposition to fight the ball,
but recovered with only one error in
the whole afternoon engagement.

ed two men, Kerns hit the ball about
forty feet over the left field fence and
gave the locals three runs. 1t was by
far the prettiest hit seen in Topeka in
many seasons. The ball was hit high
and there was never the slightest doubt
but what the ball would sail over the
fence. AS it reached the place where
it passed out of sight it looked about
the size of a half grown pea. 1t is
doubtful If any ball ever went further

Geier failed to hit yesterday. The

plate. Dick called the turn.
Kahl took an inshoot in the head

was over he was ready for business
again.
Bader and Dalton were here early
in the spring with the White Sox.
Dalton played right field and Bader
second base. Matticks, the CENTER
fielder was with the regular White
Sox team. He was purchased from
Pueblo last season. A younger
brother is now on the Pueblo team.

But then those three Comiskeyites are

The Des Moines team is known as
the Boosters" They wear green
lively sprinkling of the Irish national
ity on the team.
Niehoff is rated by many players as
the best third sacker in the league.
He had no fielding chances yesterday
but tore off a double and two singles
out of four times up.
Kaufman was using his noodle all
! through the game yesterday. He
| showed goodly amount of that lack
ing quality-nerve in the pinches.
Some of the fastest fielding of the

double plays in all being enacted. OF
this number the locals scored two.
Des Moines has such an assortment
of pitchers that it is impossible to
tell who is working today and who
