Landreth's Home Run Feature
of Game.

Wichita, Kan, June Tt was in
deed a fortunate thing for the job
bers that the Cooleysox had enough
men of some sort to line up for a
game yesterday, for according to all
the signs if that bunch had been bless
with about two more cripples, so
that somebody like Cy Landreth had
been forced to go in and pitch while
one man played all the outfield they
would have beaten us a million. For
it'll their hospital list swelled all out
of proportion, with pitchers playing
the outfield and with the remnants Of
the team supposedly tired out after a
double header Sunday and an all
night and all day ride in addition the
Topeka tailenderS trotted out on the
field and giving Kaufman whirlwind
support took the Izzyites to a to 0
defeat in real big league style.
Under ordinary circumstances Mig
Shaner deserved to win his game, for
he kept the nine blows collected by the
visitors we'll scattered and allowed
never a walk. But Kaufman was all
to the good and the best the Jobbers
could do was two hits, a double by
single by Shaner in the third. And
worse than that, every time the To-
Gals would get a man on base someone
would come up and swat the pill
nightly, and hit into a double.
The Jobbers played fielding game,
too. In the first after Thomson had
doubled to center and gone to third
on Boles' sacrifice, WesterZil grabbed
a liner off Reilly's bat and pulled of
a double unassisted. Landreth opened
the second by driving long one over
the corner clubhouse for a homer,
after which Kerns hit but was caught
off first. Kunkle famed and Kahl
grounded to Shaner. Harris opened
the third with a hit and after Kauf-
man had fouled out and Thomson
was safe on fielder's choice which
Hughes and Claire mussed up at sec
ond, Boles sent a hot one at Claire
who knocked it down, and started a
double to, Westerzil and back to him
self at second.
The Cooleysox got their second
score in the seventh when Kerns hit
after L,andreth had flied out to Petit
grew. Kunkle hit for two sacks but
Kerns was out at home trying to score
on KahTs bounder at Westerzil- Har-
ris hit, however, and Kunkle came
home.
The Jobbers did their first, and
practically their only, threatening in
the second when Hughes hit to left
for two sacks, went to third on Koer-
ner's sacrifice and dled mere Wnen
Westerzil grounded out to the pitcher
and Reilly-rnade a circus catch of Pet
tigrew's apparent Texas Lacquer to left.
Shaner hit in the third but was
doubled on Belden's bounder at Reil-
lev Middleton got on through Kahl's
error in the fourth and Hughes was
the one to start the double that time
'. it'll a grass cutter at Kunkle. Shaw
walked in the sixth and BeIden again
caused a double, Kunkle starting the
trouble. Hughes walked in the sew
enth, but nothing happened kaufman
got a strikeout on Pettigrew in the
eighth by sending the third one over
like a flash while the little center
fielder was off guard.
IzZv went in to bat for Shaner to
start the ninth, but Harris pulled off a
fancy catch of a long foul to right and
the Big Chief came back to the bench.
Belden walked but Thomson made a
remarkable catch of Middleton's long
