Notes of the Game.
The Cobb hit in the first inning was
1 lucky one. The ball hit the sack
and SHE'D safely into left field. Emory
tailed to touch the ball.
Smith-the unknown-made a neat
little cleanup in the third inning.
Three Kaws whitfield the air-including
.wo of the best hitters. This is Rick
action after his four hits in five times
% bat Thursday.
Smiths home run could be called
IN accident. King fell just as he saun-
cred under the ball and it rolled back
o the center field fence. 1t was a
lard slam. nevertheless.
Moore had his troubles at the bat.
The first time up he went out on an
,asy one in the infield. The second !
md third times he went out on fouls. !
The ex-manager of the Topeka club
vas given the glad hand at all times
~ the fans who at one time prayed ]
or his success. (
Anything is liable to happen in a {
lone run that Pitcher Smith of Lin

Emory made the first hit of the day
or Topeka Gear who followed him
UTILIZED the earnest desires of the fans
nd brought Emory in for the first
core. The Kaw manager, however, s
vas caught at third base in an attempt s
o get three Dagger credited to his
'atting averages.
Gear, Topeka's manager, was up
gainst the proposition of getting a I
lit and bringing in another score in !;
he fifth inning-but this time instead !
f knocking a two Dagger he struck 4
ut. Can't expect a manager to run /
he team and win it's games. too. /
When Smith, the Lincoln pitcher, I
made his home run, he didn't stop to T
unit for money that might be thrown I
trough the screen. Not in Topeka y
everl The Lincoln fans will have to
aise a purse this evening.
Dryer tried to bunt in the sixth ,
nd his attempts were amusing. First
inches. Then he fouled. Failing in 6
very attempt to he finally dropped a !
title onto to Frantz.
When Smith, Lincoln's pitcher, came
D bat in the eleventh inning, the fans
ave him the glad hand. It was his :
n the fourth. But it was too much
o. the pitcher. He struck out. It was q
lso Cocreham's first strike out.
The seventh inning was one that
ak was given by Smith in this round. L
he first double play when Cobb
aught fly and threw Cocreham out
the plate. Also the first time in s
he game when the bases were full. L
Smiths transportation to Gardner ]
l the seventh was a regular gift. Z
