Omaha, 4; Iopeka, g.
rhree oir Of four from Topeka.
Cadman shone 30 far ahead OF the other
players at vinton street park that no
other name was mentioned by the rams on
their return home Wednesday. Cadman
the doughty little catcher Of the Hourke
family who has been out of the game
since the opening OF the season win a
broken foot. won the game.
cadman was sent to bat for Gonding an
the eighth inning with two out and three
on bases with the score ? TO / IN
favor Of Topeka, but after the first pan
pitched to him the score wal dltlerent'
for he hit the bail squarely on the nose.
1t scooted down the third base line and
on out into the left garden while Kane
Ffanck and Belden trotted home with the
runs which won the game. 1t was a beau
tiful hit and Captain Franck showed good
Judgment In sending Cadman in to hit Tor
Gondlng, who had not been able to con-
meet with slapnicka's curves. Perhaps 1t
was the name he was afraid OF.
slapnicka had been 50 wild all through
the game that up to that eighth inning
Omaha had been able to connect safely but
twice. though one OF those times had
counted for a score. But 10 the eighth II was
different. Kane was the second mar up
and he was given a life at first because
Mr.. Slapnicka muffed a toss to catch him
WEIGH hit the ball hard, but Kahl was
playing back of the first baseman's posi-
ton and he was out. Bslden hit the ball
to one side of the shortstop and by the
time Downey was squared around for the
throw, Belden was on first. Buck Franck
drew a pass and the bases were filled
with two out. Cadman was then called
into the breach and made good. He hit
the ball out OF the reach of Jay Andrews
and had time to hobble TO second on his
game leg while three members of the
tribe of Rourke trotted home with the
needed runs.
Game Good All the way.
Topeka made the first run of the game
in the third inning by a free pass issued
TO Kerns and singles by Slapnicka and
Wooley. Although but one was out Geier
and Downey could not hit the ball out of
the diamond and one was all that Topeka
could make at that time.
Then came Omaha and tied the score in
the last half of the third. Fisher made q
good beginning by also drawing a pass.
King followed with a pretty two sacker
on which Fisher scored. Pendry was the
next up and the fans looked to him or
Kane to drive King around the circuit,
but instead he hit the ball s~quarely in
front Of the plate. kerns tagged Pendry
and then King was caught in the mlxup
between second and third.
The tie was broken in the fourth by
Kunkle, who with two out, hit the ball
over the left field fence for a home run.
And thus the score until the eighth inning,
when Omaha annexed the game.
Topeka made a strong bid for the game
in the last inning. but fell down.. With one
out Kahl hit for a double. Kerns flew out
to Fisher and slapnicka walked. McManu'
was sent 10 bat for wooley and he made
a long hit. but Belden was able to capture
the ball after a hard run and the game wal
over.
Denver comes today for a series OF foul
games and Friday will be ladies' day.
