1t was a long and trying trip but
"Parson'' Frantz arrived Sunday after
noon. The final count in his first game
in the Western was to in faVor
of the cause Cor KaWs) he represent
ed. Beating Holland was worth while
and perhaps with this return to the
won side of the column the Kaws can
remain there for awhile. Lift WASH |
any pathway of roses affair for the
parson.' The Joseys punctured his
delivery for Is hits, some of them for
extra bases, and at times all but took
everything in sight. But the congrega-
ton supported and the choir helped him
out of the rough places.
The Josseys have made enough errors
in every game played here to lose
contest. The trouble has been that IT
the past the Kaws have made as
many or more than the visitors. But
Sunday the story was different. Only
one bad one was given the Gear hired
bad bound for Dulin. AS result the
Kaws were able to win although out
hit. And at that the Topekans collect
ed an even dozen bingles off Hollands
offering of Freeman, Crutcher ana
Johnson.
Speaking of Dulin why doesn't ne
smell it like it should be spelled. VINO
ever heS, of using a "u'' in the gooo
old Irish moniker? Why not speh II
DooIan, as it should be done. :
All Hollands pitchers seemed 10 naEe
something on King. He was the only
Kaw who didn't hit safely. Chapman
drove one over the left field fence TOT
the first run of the locals and can
get his smoking tobacco by Gaming a.
this office. The attendance "a
2.O57 was fairly good for windy
who drove the winning run across get
ting his first bingle of the day In the
ninth when Gardner was waiting Oh
third The ''Parson'' may not
have as much on the ball as some OF
them but he has lot of it in his
head.
Gardner is the daring scamp he
stole third on Gossett Sunday WIN
the latter looking at him Gosst.
was so surprised he didn't even. Try - -
throw the speedy first sacker OUT
one of the fans came near gettlns
Kissane's goat Sunday afternoon EE-
cry time the umpire moved from pc
hind the plate to the pitcher oo1 VI
went for drink of water ne cameo
attention to the chance to see the
worst umpire in the Western League
Mr. Insane" The jumps tried seVerdl
times to locate the rooter but as there
is no fatality list this morning II Is
not known whether OF not the noise
one was located after the game. Inc
noise got on Kissanes nerve. 1t was
as regular as his movements and there
was no Ietup. And speaking of UNI
hires. Topeka fans have stood Tor the
poorest work in the Western League
this year Knapp got his at Omaha
Friday. Knapp is the gentleman, you
win remember, who gave CULLEN two
snoa shes at the ball while Denver was
here
1t would be tiresome to wade
through a mass of detail such as would
h required to tell how it all happened.
II is sufficient to say that Chapman
home run started it. GardnerS double
and pflfer of third paved the way for
Emory's single to end it. A few words
about the fourth inning are not out of 1
order. Gardner walked, Dulin hit af-
fer a wild pitch and scored him. Emory
few out to Zwilling. Walsh hit and
Chapman did likewise. This combined
with Zwilling's wild throw of Frantz's
hit scored two more Frantz scored
when Rickert sacrifice flied to Zwilling
Two more were added in the sixth and
the final one in the ninth. ST. Joseph
got to the Parson for four hits and
a base on balls in the seventh. This
combined with the Kaws' only error
cave the Joseys three runs which tied
first and a like amount in the third
One in the fifth constituted 1
their remaining luck.
Saturdays wild weird contest result
ed in the score of Is to 6. Fugate was
located for q hits and Ready Relief
Rose added one to the collection OF
the HoIlanders in the ninth. In the
ninth Chellette let down and five
runs were gathered by the Topekans.
But read it in the box score. It's toe
painful to tell and beside if the play
In detail was given there wouldn't be
room left for Mutt and Jeff.
Gear has removed himself from the
game and will hereafter devote his en-
ergies to developing a pitching staff
and directing a la Connie Mack
