Notes of the Game.
Doyle, who was in the box for Lin
coin. was for several seasons on the
pitching staff of the New York Ameri-
cans. His home is in western Kansas.
King certainly had his batting
clothes on. He got two three-base
hits in his first two times at bat.
Gardner was cheated out of a fine
two-base hit in the second by a foot.
1t fell that much outside the deep
right field foul line.
Manager Gears boys pulled off an
other one of those double plays in the
fourth, for which they are getting
famous. This time the participants
were Rose, Gardner and Schmidt. 1t
seems to be easy for any combination
of three of the Kaws to make dou-
Bile plays when any kind of a stage is
set for one.
In the sixth inning Stratton hit a
on the ball and it went straight between
his legs. The ball rolled out to the |
fence and was good for three-bagger. |
Neither Mr.. Kissane nor Mr.. Carter |
doomed up very strong as umpires. |
None of their decisions was as bad as |
late unpleasant memory. But this |
may be due to the fact that neither of |
them had Knapp's opportunities to |
shine in such particular.
AS the seventh inning started in |
the same old uninteresting way one of !
the fair sex who was occupying a box |
relieved the motony for herself, at |
least. by digging into her hand bag
fishing out some crocheting with |
which she busted herself.
Rose achieved the honor in the sew
enth inning of getting the first strike |
gut that had so far fallen to the lot |
or Topeka'S numerous pitchers.
About 500 fans were present at the |
BEGINNING of the game but many of |
them LETT before 1t was over.
