Chief Of Control Buchanan led the
kaWs to victory over the Sioux in a
shutOut battle OF to 0. There always
is a merry battle when these two tribes
get at each other and the peaceful
kaws always show up well. The first
of the series passed in the near record
time of an hour and a half.
While Buchanan was the big-tOp per-
Torrance Of the day. the real enter
tainment was afforded by the giant
Sioux battery, Sage and Dawson Hub
Dawson, recently pasttlming with the
Minneapolis MilIers is six feet and five
inches tall while Sage is but two inches
shorter. Mounted on high as they were,
each on his individual hill as designed
by the local architects and called a
ball diamond, these two skyscrapers
seemed to OversbadOw all else. Little
Jumps Mckee, standing in the shadow
OF the Dawson person looked like jack
the-Giant-Killer. The pair Of them had
a tilt one day in st. Joseph and Jack
chased the giant from the battle
There was no trouble here. however,
because Mckee kept the clean eye he
has operated since his arrival. Sage
was pretty wild and permitted five
walks, all of which figured il the kaw
scores but Mckee was not blamed for
that.
Rickert's Tribe Going Well.
Rickert's tribe was doing some nice
cavorting with the giants as the butt
of their antics. Meanwhile they were
protected completely by Kid Buchan-
ans bulls eye craftsmanship. The
Sioux never had a lookin. Once only
did they get a peep. That was in the
third when Giant Dawson banged one
through the second base aperture
Sage sacrificed like brother should
and Dawson dug his toes into the dirt
But he did not get the signal to start
Andreas popped out to Whitney and
stem few out to Gardner
There was a diversified and cOmpre-
bensive biz of baseball worked OFT in
the fifth inning where the Kaws pulled
in the game with two scores. Emory
nit into right and EdmistOn attempt
ed to sacrifice. His bunt popped out
in front of the plate and burrowed in
the sand while Hub Dawson tried to
come down and get it. Result: two
safe on bases. Then the Sioux started
picking off runners. Buchanan hit to
Sage who chose Emory at third. Rick
ert hit to Hartman who picked off Blu
ehanan at second. That lett EdmISLOn
on third and Rickert on first. A pass
ed ball scored Edmiston and Edckert
cobbed to third. King drew a. walk to
continue the trouble for the giants and
then started to steal on the first ball
heaved up. Dawson pegged to second,
Hartman planning to cut off the throw
and return it the plate as Rlekert
raced in. Hartman just tagged the
high ball and the runners were SAFE
The third run came arouHu III LllO
eighth as a result of Whitney's walk;
Gardner was out ahead of him ana
Crisp was out to follow but with two
down, there was much trouble in store
for Sage. Emory hit one which crash
ed into Sage's foundation and caroomec
off to Reilly. Reilly tried the peg put
was late and Whitney, who had a goou
lead, extended his ambulations TO third.
Run Forced In.
Emory moved up without danger.
Edmiston was walked. filing the sacks
to get at Young Buchanan. Buck fool
ed the world at large by waiting out
p walk and forcing Whitney to take
counter Ricl1ert was out on an infeld
ball.
