FUGATE is ERRATIC

st. Joseph won the last of the Sc
ries of five games with ease. 10 to 3.
Topeka featured a number of sensa-
tional plays. and Boles caught five try
ing to steal second. The Drummers
began to flock home in the first when
Fugate was the offering. Then Wright
took the throttle and held them to
three stragglers until the eighth, when
they bumped him five in a row. two
singles, two doubles and triple, which
an error turned into a score. The
Cooleysox also ran.
Fugate was quite as erratic as he
was the ninth inning in the first of
Sundays double header and lasted only
a third of an inning. Powell punched
him for a double off the reel and Fox
beat one to first Then the side
wheeler walked Jones and McChesney
in succession, forcing in Powell, and
Abbott called him off. Wright walked
out and his teammates greeted MIN
with the sensational double or the
day. Corhan slashed one at Kunkle'
who shot it home. catching Fox in
time for Boles to whip to first and get
Corhan.
That left two men on and Wright
walked Barney Reilly, then Landreth
donated. Bauer sent him out hlgn
one that tangled in the sun ana
bounced off Big Cy's shoulder while
the three chased each other across the
indicator. Frambes went out, Reilly
TO Abbott, but the game already was
gone from home.
Another error which had part in the
scoring was -Abbott's in the second,
when he dropped the ball and gave life
to Powell, who scored when Boles
threw to second to catch Jones.
The Cooleysoxs first score came IN
the third when they looked menaclng-
Nv at Baker. the Drummer sent out
for their approval Boles beat one that
Corhan fielded deep and Rasty wright
swatted a clean one to center. Wooley
flew out. but the world seemed prlgnt
when Reilly lambasted buzzer right
at the second sack and past Baker
But that is the pasture where old man
Fox grazes and he ate it up. The way
he slid under that one and tossed II
to Corhan to snag Wright was sen
sationaI Boles scored on 1t, however,
and Reilly was still alive. Another
felder's choice by Thomason fell easy
meat for Fox and the dream was over
Topeka repeated in the fifth when
Boles and Wright singled again rms
time 1t was Corhan who put on the
stunt and raked a red not one OH
WooIey's slapper as it skidded along
the edge of the clearing. Again
Wright was nipped and again Boles
scored. The two innings practically
were identical with Boles and wright
pulling for Topeka and Fox and Cor
han for ST. Joseph. Boles got both
scores and Wright made them both
possible.
Thereafter, the Cooleys did not
threaten, but the Drummers rubbed II
in with five more, four of which were
gotten in the eighth. McChesney led
off with a three-bagger, which Ian
dreth relayed to WEIGH. whose throw
went through Kunkle. McChesney
never stopping at the third station.
Then Corhan doubled before the ash
could cool and Bauer doubled and
Frambes singled. Two hits were re-
sponsible for another in the ninth
In the ninth, with the score 10 to 2
against them, the Sox in desperation
came to the fore with one. Kunkle
sent out a screamer, Abbott drew a
hard landed walk and Boles bingled.
Wright had shot his bolt in his two
singles and flew out Kunkle scored
on sacrifice fly by Wooley. Reilly
also flew out and the game was on
record.
ST. JOSEPH.
