Having 1t Won.

Old Time FavOrite.
Cook Strikes Out Seven Men and
Allows Eight Hits.

The Hogs made 1t three straight al
right. The KaWs mad the last one
packed away in sawdust but the Hogs
rooted into it in the eighth ana the
first owners were too aston1sned 10
drive them out. Five runs In that 1t
tack topped the Topeka lead and the
announcement is toe.
Cook lost his battle because his re-
Inducements balled up the plan OF ac-
ton. Their mistakes were both those
of fact and Judgment Whitney let az
easy one get away from him and muffed
a throw and balanced one on his hano
while a run went in. King doubleo
with two on scoring them. Schoonover
singled. scoring him and then HAWKINS
begged bad on SchooneyS steal ana ne
went to third. Cook plugged kneaVes
on the hoaters and the latter started the
seesaw steal. Hawkins threw TO
Breitenstein. Schoonover was SO Tar
down the line he was allowed to score
and the play turned to caIcnlns
Kneaves, Whitney making the touch.
A Happy Moment.
IJp to that time the Kaws were three
runs to the good. Fentress began the
game for the Hogs and the Kaws got TO
him as early as the second round iof
four hits and three runs, retiring nm
from the scene. 1t was great little
brand of hitting, too. Hopke led II
with a sharp rap too deep for KneaVes
to handle properly. Brett followed with
a fast one through second territory
Crompton drove one in the same place,
and while King juggled 1t both ne ana
Brett took an extra base ana AopKe
counted. Pinch Fitting Hawkins arrlV-
ed with these two on and delivered
horseshoe over first base ana the Two
came in. He was out on steal anu
the business ceased.
Durbin replacing Fentress got in and
out of some trouble in the third IN
handy fashion. Rickert few out: Hal
ford and Thomson singled. whitney
and Hopke then hit in succession to
Pick and all he had to do was KICK the
sack for the other two outs.
In the next Brett drew himsean
walk but ambled too far from the cush-
ion, Niehoff slipping in behind MIN
for a throw from Agnew which set him
off. Hawkins clouted one on the LEFT
side of the nose to right field and got
two for it at his rate of locomotlon.
It was Just as well he got no farther
because Cook singled over second the
next moment and he negotiated the
distance to the plate in plenty time
Again in the fifth, the kaWS got IN
their horses. Beecher, who relieved
Hafford In the fourth when the latter
split a finger on a high foul CHOSE a
single. Tommy sacrificed him. whitney
then hit to Kneaves who, as Beecher
brushed by him, tried to make the
throw to third and cut him of. The
tall lad from back east Strengthened
up lust then, however, and the ball lit
him on the shoulder bounding to the
stands while he continued his free ride
to the plate.
Tommy Scores One.
Once more Topeka counted. Tommy
got on in the seventh by forcing Beecn-
err and Merit Whitney cut loose dou-
BILE to right. After that Hall pitched
and there was nothing doing for the
local Indiar tribe.
Meanwhile Kneaves had scored for
Omaha in the third after he cut
double down the third line. Two put
outs served to score him, Hafford
fumbling with one Until too late TO
throw home. But he snagged Fentress
at first and is exempt from black
marks. In the fifth Schoonover walkeI
ana Kneaves singled, sending Schooney
to third. Agnew hit deep to Breiten-
Gtein and forced him to make the throw
TO first while SchoonoVer counted. Pick
axed one over second and Joe came
home.
That was the size of it until the
with The loot. No one expected to see
the battle end as 1t did and the yeggs
simply had gotten away with it before
apprehended.
1t was day of injuries. Hafford had
TO be replaced by Bee2her when he hurt
his hand or a foul. Agnew caught one
on a finger end while warming UP his
pitcher before the seventh inning and
the new Arbogast was sent in, Niehon
was spiked in the hand when he stole
up on Rreitenstein at first. He, how
ever, continued after holding the game
awhile. The score:
