Ditching the one walk, the sacr1f1ce
hit and the sacrifice fly, 81 men raced
Cyrus. That is, that number are cred
tied with an at bat. But the beautiful
part of it was that Young had two
strikes on nearly every batter with the
throwing of the first three balls.
Schmidt caught a nice game and eV-
cry Kaw player made stellar f1eId1ng
stunts Lee got the only real drive of
the day. Ricketts, hit came on a
slow one towards third which Reilly
couldn't have thrown to first in time
to down Josephus. On that account,
and knowing the lay of the ground,
he nursed it along the third base line
hoping it would roll out. 1t d1dn
and Joe was on first long before 1t
quit rolling. 1t pays to run 'em out.
But neither of these hits figured in
the run. In the fifth with one down
Lee walked. He stole second and
went to third on on 9rendoTfs n miS6
pitch into the kettle and the Kaws had
a run. That, however, merely tied the
contest. the Sioux having made one in
the first. So Sage helped us get an
King walked. Rickert drove to |
Smithville, forcing King at second but
Walsh was on third before the ball |
had reached short. Then Gardner |
drove a hard liner directly into
Breen's hands and Walsh scored be- |
fore the ball could be returned.
The Sioux more nearly earned their
run, although it would never have
happened had not Walsh, who field
ed Millions grounder, pulled Gard |
ner off the bag with a wide throw.
French sent Million down with a sac
rifice and Myers hit, sending the run
ner to third. Million ambled in when |
Tenant lifted a long fly which Lee
got under by a hard run, but caught I
too far out to prevent the score ,
Young famed Breen and the visitors |
saw second only once afterward-
Emory ate up two hot ones in fine
style. He had eight chances with one I
error. But he made up for the error
by blocking French on the same play |
and jabbing the ball, returned by |
Gardner, into the second baseman's
ribs while that person vainly endeav-
ored to reach the bag. Twice he made
catches that would have been hits
three weeks ago. If Emory keeps up |
his playing gait displayed yesterday
we'll probably have to go on hunt
for a third sacker next spring.
But everyone was doing it. Circus
catches were the order. The Sioux
couldn't drive a ball within 10 feet
of Young and get by with it, no mat
ter what the speed. Schmidt chased
bunt deep into the diamond and
threw Million out by Is feet
This department breaks a long es-
tablished rule today in order to say
that Myers, the new umpire sent here
instead of Knapp or johnson, looked
like an umpire. He ran the game
and didn't draw a kick except in the
eighth when Reilly was out at first.
The Sioux held conversation with him
from the bench for a moment and he
finally journeyed in that direction
and made a few remarks himself.
Sure he didn't have a lot of close
decisions. And so this word in favor
of the new man. The right is re-
served, however, to take it back any
time he is afflicted with an attack of
Kissanity, Knappishness or Carterites. !
His work yesterday was a relief and i
would have been good had the team
lost.
