Errors all over the lot cost Omaha the
game with Topeka Tuesday for errors
were responsible for each run Topeka
made during the afternoon The Rourke
family played in far different form from
what the members displayed on the day
before. when Topeka was shut out and no
amount OF good pitching on the pant of
Johns couldn save the game.
Omaha on the other hand, made nine hits
20 six for Topeka. but the big hit in the
pinch was always lacking and several
good chances to score we're thrown away.
In the first inning King was on third and
Pendry on second. each having made a
hit, but the needed safe one wos not
forthcoming nor was even a grounder on
which a score might be made. Kane flew
out to Downey at short. WEIGH was passed
and Belden grounded TO second.
In the third Pendry and Kane both hit
safe. but both we're caught trying to pllfer
second. The going was too heavy for fast
work m bases. with two out in the
seventh Fisher hit safe and King followed
with another. That was too much for
Cooley and he yanked Mr.. Hendrix out Of
the box and sent in Long Kaufman. the
pitcher who had held Omaha to three hits
on the day before. Fisher and Kane
initiated Mr.. Kaufman into the game by
making a double steal on him. But that
did not please him. He had been sent in
because Pendry was at bat and Pendry
h ad made two hits already off Mr..
Hendrix But the judgment Of Mr.. Cooley
was good for the best Pendry was able
to do was a %grounder to Downey.
Tracy Johns pitched for Omaha and
pitched a good game, but his support was
very yellow. He allowed but six hits and
did not pass n man. Two OF the six hits
we're made off Johns In the first inning
after two were out, but. Jas Andrews only
knocked the ban to Pendry who tagged
third and 1t was all over for that inning.
Cyclone Hits Omaha.
An awful calamity befell Omaha in the
sixth inning, for in that fatal session the
game was won. Downey had been retired
when Fenlon followed with a single. his
second in the game. FenIun has been talk
ing a layoff and celebrated his return by
making three hits. He has been cloutins
the ball quite frequently this spring. An
drews singled and put Fenlon on third.
while Andrews went TO second On the
throw. The infield move in close on Mr..
Kunkle as but one was out. Kunkle hit
the ball right on the nose and 1t scooted
between Kings legs to the 1outfield, while
two trotted home. Kunkle was caught t-y-
ing to steal second and Bahl flew out to
WEIGH. who made the feature catch of the
game after a hard run.
In the fifth McManus started the inning
with a double and Hendrix was hit by
Johns. Wooley tried to bunt them around
and McManus was captured at third, BeIer
hit to Johns. who again threw to third, but
Pendry muffed the throw and Hendrix
scored. The ball was lost under a drag
which Is used to smooth the iamon and
Fisher found 1t in time TO catch wooley
at the plate.
Pendry's bad throw In the eighth cost
Omaha another run. Geier reached second
on the mishep, was sacrificed to third by
Downey, and scored on Fenlon's third hit.
Kane hit the ball to the right field fence
In the sixth inning, but because Of the
hard going and the way the ball bounded
hack, could get no further than first. He
went to second on Weleh's infield out and
scored on Belden's single.
