Fourth Place.

BY punching their hits in the second
and third innings yesterday afternoon the
Rourkes managed 20 cop the third and
last game of the series from the Kaws,
despite the fact that the boys from Kan
sas made almost twice as many hits as
PAS athletes. The game ended with To-

Had not the Rourkes taken advantage
of Clarke. the Kaw HEAVIER, in the first
three innings, a different tale might have
been the result. as the big blond hurler
from Topeka had everything his own way
afte the third inning and gave but one
hit during the remainder of the battle.
At that but thirty-two of the home bunch
managed to face Clarke. BY winning
yesterdays game the Rourkes are still
tied with Sioux City for fifth place and
but half a game behind Lincoln for
place in the first division.
Game Full of Life.
The game was filled with brilliant plays
of all kinds. Both teams fought hard for
the deciding game of the series, but the
Rourkes got the jump. Topeka put up
one OF the best exhibitions Of an uphill
fight that has been seen on the local
diamond this year. The Kaws fought all
the way to the end, but although the
bases weer filled at three different times
of the game, Joe Lott, the Rourke's kid
pitcher, always managed to pull out just
in time. In the ninth the Kaws made
brave attempt to tie the score, hut only
one run was pushed across and three
men died on bases when Manager Rickert
went in as a pinch hitter to save the day.

Lott Lucky hoy.
The god Of luck seemed to be perched
on the shoulder of Lott. Thirteen hits
we're garnered off his delivery, but things
broke just at the right time for him.
However, the fielders must be given credit
for their support of Lott. Coyle, espe-

The game will be called at o'clock, in
stead Of $3.50, as has been the custom
with double-headers this season The two
games today mean much to both teams.
Should the Rourkes win both games they
go into fourth place, while II they lose
they go down into sixth place. The An
telopes by winning today's game will get
a tighter hold on fourth place and put
them in the running for third place. But
II they lose they go down into fifth or
