imitators OF the famous Georgian.
Jackson is confident that he Win bat

many chips shy of being the base run

Cobb takes chances on the bases and

FROM WICHITA
Willett and Schaller Star-Former
Knocks Homer and Latter Scores
Three Runs.

WICHITA, Kan. April Edgar
willett and Walter Schaller proved
the stars in yesterdays game, between
the Tigerettes and Wichita, which
ended with the score, 5 TO 2, in favor
OF the former Willett, who Is a grad
uate OF the Wichita club of the West
ern league, was given great recep-
ton by his fellow townsmen.
To begin with Willett pitched five
innings OF splendid baseball and then
ended up by sending the ball over
the fence for homer. 1t was a regu-
lar jubilee for the former kansan and
10 make ii all the better, his mother
sat In the grandstand, watching her
boy, star. II is a regular annual fea-
ture for Willett TO send, at least, one
ball over the fence. but last year, he
did this stunt twice, during game,
with the bases filled both times.
Willett allowed four hits in the five
innings. Schaller set the fans wild
with his sensational playing, scoring
three runs, twice stealing home on
Shoddy Shaw. Two Of Schaller's hits
were clean drives to the outfield, while
the other was a bunt towards third.
Delos Drake. who injured his an
kle in a game at Oklahoma city, Is
still out Of the lineup.
The Wichita team Is the best the
Tigerettes have seen SO far and at
first il was thought that the Detroit
ers would have TO fight for the game.
Some clustered clubbing In the third,
along with Willett's four-sacker, gave
the visitors the lead which they sue
ceeded in maintaining.
Wichita got its second tally In the
ninth. Shaw doubled with one out
and scored when Smith hit the runner
with the ball, while attempting an
out at first. A double play started by
Donovan ended the battle.
