TOPEKALOSES-O OUT
Kaufman Batted All Over Field
by Wichita.
Izzyites Get the Revenge They
Prayed For.
ONLYFOUR HOMERUNS.
That Is All the Witches Were
Able to Get.
COOleysOx Scored But Not
Enough to Win.

Wichita, July SIT is pretty general
ly admitted. even in this day and age,
that revenge is sweet, and admitting
this to be straight tip it would be a
safe bet to say that the Jobbers fully
enjoyed the ball game yesterday. For
not only did they have the satisfaction
of coming back at those hated Cooley
sox in a real cleanup, but they did it
with Sir Boliver Kaufman, the most
feared and professionally hated twirler
in the whole circuit, cast in the stellar
role.
Viewed from an impartial scientific
standpoint it was not a good game. But
viewed in the light of existing condi-
tions, it would have been hard to plan
anything of a baseball nature that the
Wichita fans would have welcomed as
Jobbers from their long road trip. For
having once started after Sir Boliver's
goat the romping Izzyites sure made a
thorough job of the slaughter.
The Cooleysox started off in way
to rather get on the nerves of the
first up and pasted the very first ball
Aitchison tossed to right center for q
three sacker. WesterzI handled Reilly's
bounder fast to get him and hold
Wooley on third, but Thomson sent a
grass cutter over second and run
field.
Belden rather approved of starting
things right off the reel, so met kauI-
mans initial toss just as Wooley had
done for Aitchison. except that Belden
took only two bases before the ball was
reIayed in from left. Middleton laid
down a bunt to Kaufman for sacri-
flee and then proceeded to make 1T a
hit by beating It out. Claire advanced
both runners base with his out from
Boles to Landreth, and Hughes sent a
long fly to center which let Belden come
home.
Nothing happened for Topeka in the
second or third, but the Jobbers were
extremely busy. Westerzil, who mad
avowed his intention of collecting three
hits before the game started, COM
menced his collecting by pushing not

an opportunity to win the 30 Wlllam
offered by Mayor Davidson for homer
and do the team a good turn at the
same time, so dropped one over the lett

the third out on a long fly to center.
