days game by hard and timely hitting.
getting most of the safe drives with
| men on bases. Patton was chased to
the bench in the third and Meter. Pa
Rourke's new importation from st.
Louis, went on the slab.
Curves, shoots and breaks, however,
all looked alike to the Kansans, who
hammered Meter with much glee. In
the last half of the ninth the Rourkcs
| threatened for a few minutes but the
handicap was too great to be over
come and Kaufman, who was ordered
into the breach when Jackson showed
signs of climbing the flag pole, had lit
tie to do.
Umpire Spencer featured the game
by some rather weird decisions though
neither team could claim to have any
the best or worst of it. Dick Cooley
attempted to bite Spencer on two occa-
sions while Jimmy Kane was waited
to the club house for intimating that
the Jump reminded him of a piece Of
cold storage limburger.
Kunkle of the Kansas tribe biffed
himself into fame by driving the sphere
so far into centerfield that he reached
four bags before King, Shotton, Fox
and Corridor could get the ball back
to the home plate. 1t was one of the
few occasions when sticker has made
the round on swat inside the fence
and Kunkle drove TomaSon and Lam
dreth ahead of him.
In the opening inning Thomason
swatted a two-sacker but that was all.
In the second Landreth was safe
when Fox fooled. Kunkle was out at
first, Kerns singled putting Landreth
on third and stole second. Kahl drove
q trinlp scoring I.andV and Butch
but was caught between third and
home when Jackson rolled one to the
pitcher.
The Topekans threatened a couple
of times but did nothing until the
sixth when Kerns famed and Kahl
two sacked. Jackson famed and
Wooley two-sacked, scoring Kahl and
counting himself when Shotton in an
effort to catch him at second threw
poorly and the ball went into right
field.
Thomson started the seventh with a
double, Pennel fouled to Shipke and
Landreth, singled, sending Tommy to
third. Then came Kunkle's mighty
Ewat and the trio crossed the plate.
Jackson opened the eighth by tanning
but Wolley singled and went to third
when Reilly repeated. They both fell
by the way side on an attempted dou-
BILE steal, Gondings quick throw to Cor
ridon getting Reilly and Wolley was
na1led at the plate on lnS return, III
though Richard did not think SO.
Cooley howled for more scores, so
in the ninth Thomason singled and was
caught trying to steal. Pennel doubled.
Landreth singled. Kunkle drove out a
sacrifice fly and Kerns singled, getting
two runs. kahl flew to WEIGH and It
was over.
For Omaha, WEIGH tripled in the Sec
end, scoring on Shipke's groundeT to
Kahl. Gonding flew out but Patton
singled and on three successive errors
the first by Jackson and then two by
Reilly, Pat scored. With three men on
bases. Kane flew out to Kunkle.
A walk for Corridor, stolen base, n
sacrifice and a sacrifice fly gave the
Rourkes one in the third and that was
all until the ninth. Fox singled but
was forced at second by Hollenbeck
who took Kane's place at first when
the latter was chased in the eighth in
ming. King had flown out but Corridor
doubled, WEIGH walked. Shipke was hit
and George Graham, batting for Gond-
ing, drove out q single. Three scored
but Cadman. hitting for Meter, was
out on a bunt Kerns to Landreth, and
the game was at an end.
Dick Cooley appeared in uniform for
the first time in the series and was on
the coaching line throughout the game.
