JACK GETS DOUBLE
Pitchers Hitting Record fol
Game LIS Perfect.
KaWs Lose to Dryers Men in
Saturday Contest.

The Kaws saved one from the Hope
Guls' raid by falling onto Mckee for
the Sunday game, to 4.
Many thanks are due Jack Fugate
for holding the visitors below the Kaw
level for the day. Even HE almost. let
them get away in the ninth after his
support had given the stands a brain
storm nearly every inning. The KaWs
had just held hippodrome race in the
eighth for three runs or. they would
have been in shallow water.
In the first round things looked like
the homers were going to have pleas
ant day Beecher singled and scored
on Whitney's double to the right foul
line where Anderson succeeded in
reaching mis- hands out far enough to
carom the ball deep into foul territory.
1t seemed very promising, that easily
acquired run. and the chances had
been good for another but right back
came the Boosters and Tommy dropped
an easy one for Dwyer. Then kores
smashed one through the infield to
Crompton and Bill turned third in a
squirt for the plate. Crompton pegged
true to Hawkins and Mgr. Bill reversed
his engines while Kores took a chance
at second Hawkins threw to Hopke
and while he and Whitney played catch
over Kores' head, Bill renewed his de-
signs on home. A peg by Hopke tossed
him off the pan but the inning carried
a prophecy of trouble. ...-..
In the third the IfOuDle arrived III
chunks and that with two down as has
been the record of the past two series.
Anderson singled and took p liberal
lead. Hawkins pegged to Whitney and
the goat bucked- on down toward Sec
ond Brett dropped the throw and An
derson elated at the CONSERVATION of
the Kaws soon stole for third Haw-
kins made a pretty peg but Beecher
oYerran the sack in his hurry and the
ball chased on into the garden while
the score ran in. To follow it up Hopke
kicked one for Colligan but he was out
a moment later on a choice Of Curtis
easy grounder.
Get Runs by Hitting:
In the fifth and sixth the Kaws hung
up one run by finding where Mckee
stood after losing him for three ses-
sions, In the fifth the run came as q
neatly devised method of counting. In
fact IL was one of the very most ap-
proved plans. Crompton singled. Haw-
kins sacrificed, and Fugate CHATS
right-Fugate) doubled, scoring him.
There was only one thing the matter
with the beautiful plan and that was
sat helpless while Fugate's double
dropped just out of reach. In the sixth
another approved method was used, it
was the three single plan. Whitney
started, Breitenstein followed, and
Crompton delivered the third. OF course
somebody ought to have brought those
two in but two were gone and Hawkins
banged into Mckee.
Resting easily during the seventh,
the KawS came back fresh in the
eighth and Hopke eoaxed an error
from Colligan to start it, Then Steiny
and Crompton tripled In succession and
triples always help q runner around.
Vinegar Bill ought to have had a home
run as his fast one went all the way to
the fence but Hopke thought some one
had stopped it and drew in at second,
cfusing Brett to hesitate at first
Crompton came in with the third run
when Hawkins sacrificed by a high fly
TO Anderson. Fugate and Rickert both
singled after this but Beecher could not
deliver.
Come Back "'Scrappy.''
With the score 8 to 1 against them
Bin Dryers easy going contingent
came back scrappy Bill and Korea
singled and Beecher booted one for
Graham, filling the bases. Rachant
went out to whitney who forgot the
runner on third and seeing the danger
of late peg played it safe at his own
base. Mckee went out Beecher to
Whitney and another scored. Then
Anderson walked and Colligan added
another hit, scoring Graham for the
third run. Curtis ended the fright by
hitting soft to Fugate
Special mention should be given
Crompton and Fugate for perfect bat
ting records for the game. Crompton
got two ones and a three and walk
and Fugate got one, two, and two
walks.
The score:
