WIN ON FEWER HITS

Two hits, two errors, a base on balls
and one dent in the back of Sammy
Krepps' head won the last game OF
the season on the local grounds for
the Kaws Add to this the clever
pitching of Danny Dreamer Durbin
and a swell peg from second base by
King As it was the visitors beat us
to death in the matter of hitting and
base running. Also they compiled a
much larger error list.
It started in the first inning when
Rickert exploded a two Dagger in the
snemy's midst. Right behind him
Bachant erred and King was left safe.
Another light burned dimly when Dali
was the recipient of the things with
which 1t is said railroads once bought
favor of the politicians.
Emory drove hard at a drop ana
pushed the ball almost to the pitcher
mound but Hueston failed to get his
feet out of the way OF his hands and
Rickert scampered home, leaving the
bases still muchly picked
Krepps Bats in Run With Head.
Whitney fired three shots but not a
single bell rang. Crisp also tried to
break the game up but was lamented
and laid away. Sammy Krepps tried
for the ball with his bat but failed
TO locate it. Angered. perhaps, at the
possibility of missing one be waited on
the next throw until the ball started
to curve around him and then thrust
ing out his head like tortoise batted
Sammy had been knocked as far as the
ball was bounced his injury might
have been even more serious. As 1t
was the creak of the horsehide against
the base Of Sammy's brain sounded
like a pistol shot in Kansas sounded
in Boston before the late unpleasant
ness with the COnfederacy. kreppS,
however. inquired if the ball could still
be used and on being informed that
it could trapsed to first base. He
played the inning out after which he
was retired in favor of King and Pep
per Clark went to center But Sam
mys bump had brought in another
run.
Edmiston poled one which went to
Graham. The latter kindly mussed it
up and Dali blew across like the north
wind. Durbin didn't allow for the
wind and his shots did not take erect.
That Ends Kaw Scores.
We didn't threaten much after that
In fact we hit safely but twice
more. But we didn't need to. All that
was necessary was to prevent Des
feat was accomplished until the sew
enth inning. Then Mr.. Bachant crack
ed one past second base that didn't
stop to whistle for crossings as it pass
ed. Mr.. Kores gave US a deep thrust
just south OF second base. not however
until Crisp, mistaking the repose of
Mr.. Bachant at first for slumber, tried
to throw the ball over the bull sign.

Then Kores stole, being safe when
King dropped a hard peg. The ruue
and unseemly Mr.. Henderson tried to
lose another $3.50 ball for the manage
ment by driving it to center and the
second run for O'Neil's goats was cele-
brated. Graham had been safe on the
attempted double which left Henderson
on second, UIatowslxi struck out and
Curtis couldn't hit the ball.
The last session was an exciting one
Kores hit a three Dagger. Clark pick
ed up the ball, dropped it, and picking
it up again pegged to King King re-
layed to Crisp who slid the spheriod
into Kores' kneecap as the latter tried
for an inside the fence home run. Hen
derson met with foul play of which
Emory and Whitney were the ringlead-
ers and a moment later Graham hit
another three timer which would have
scored Kores had the impatient young
ster waited. But it was too late
Ulatowski grounded to Graham and
the season was closed. The grand
