Despite his loss of Mondays game
Haag, the Q K. league twirler, and
the f1inging end of the famous Indian
battery of Manhattan, looked good 20
| the manager. He held the raging 500
| to eight hits. Four of them in one
| inning, lost him the game. But the
| fact that his team mates didn't MT
| behind him is what really caused the
! defeat 1t is mighty seldom that a
| single run will win contest and a
i pitcher must be given bigger boost
than a single score if he is TO win.
| But the showing was all to the good
/ and Haae. with that kind of pitching,
should win a lot of games in the west
ern League.
Just week after he played in the
! Detroit outfield Bashang played in one
/ garden for the KawS and Manager
i Gear announces that he is classy past
i timer He made the only run the To-
j Gals gathered off the tribe of Ducky.
He was hitless throughout the game
/ and did not have a chance in the field.
| Recurring to Haag again the fact
that he walked only one man is bette.
II news than that he struck out five Of
Il the Ducklings. Control has been un-
attainable for the local FINGERS this
year, Gear, Gardner, Haag and Smith
did the hitting for the locals OF WhoHi
! MT exactly generous with the trans
portation himself.
Will the gent who scented the scan
dal when F'ugate was sold to Omaha
and who prated about Topeka help
| ing Omaha win the pennant, step out
a little further into the spot light.
: some members of the audience cannot

If CIV Young, who held Montreal to
one hit in his initial game IN the
: Eastern league, keeps It up he'll soon
| be in tiger town.
The team is working better than II

Z they did during the early summer while

i nant race. But this, when 1t comes
| will be only for a, day or two. The play
ers realize they are fighting for places
I now. and that there is a chance to wiz
: some games. This makes a difference
And the injection of young blood has
helped some.
. conversation which occurred early
in the last at hoIee series shows the
i feeling that has cost the Kaws a 10
of games. Go on and PITCH a playel

The morning paper admits that tn
