Regarding the pitching stunt of Ohm
stead at st. Joseph during the Denver
series. the ST. Joe Gazette delivers the
following ovation:
Performing the greatest pitching
feat ever seen in the Western league,
Olmstead, Qenver's crack twirler, yes
terday shut out the Drummers with
out allowing them a hit. Only three
ST. Joseph men got as far as first base
Bauer reached that bag on an error oy
Cranston, Powell was given a base on
balls, and McChesney got on through
a fielder's choice. For the first six in
nings the DrummerS went down as
fast as they came to bat. Bauer got
on through Cranston's error in the
seventh but he was never allowed TO
reach second, being put out on McChes-
ney's fielder's choice. Only three men
faced Olmstead again in the eighth and
in the ninth four men came up, Powell
being walked. Olmstead struck out
five men,"

or split the plate like an Overall. ana
you demand that a player knock 1t
over the fence and think he hasn't half
sense if he bingles out for only a
suit YOUR craze a fire department
couldn't quench the blaze and there'd
be no end if trouble. And if a twirler
could twirI like you think he ought
there was never a catcher who could
catch one of them in a basket or If
batter got hit with the ball as he
might, you know they'd dig hole
where the violets grow and march be
hind his casket. Man, If a batter could
hit like you think he should, he'd GER
tainly hike from this small wood TO
play in the big league leads and the
pitcher who'd pitch like you think he
should. would leave this prairie PLAIN
for good and there'd be no baseoall III
