Runs-St. Joseph Got Three.
Double Defeat of Visitors Was
Severe Setback i'm Standing.

The kaws defeated St. Joseph in botf
ends of a double header here yester-
day, when thev scored four runs of
Boehler's' delivery and a number of err
rors in the third inning of the first
game and when Miller held the visitors
to a no-hit game in the second. In
fact, both games were pitchers con-
tests. Faircloth for Topeka got bad
start but settled down after the third
inning and with good support held the
DrummerS to a shut out for the rest OF
the game. Boehler was alright in all
excepting the third inning and then
four hits and three errors cost him Il
victory.

in the first inning and took two-run
lead. Dawson was first up and walked.

went out at first and advanced bot1
runners, Zwilling went out, ta1rcIoth
to Koerner, and Dawson scored. Kelly
scored on Gygli's single. Ochs followed
with another and put Gygli on third,
but the latter was pinched at the platc
in trying a double steal.
The Drummers failed to score in the
second inning but annexed one in the
third which proved to be their last.
Kelly led off and singled went to sec
ond on McLarry's error and scored on
Westerzil's single. Zwilling went out
and the Kaws broke up their play
again by breaking up a double steal.
The Kaws' scoring machine got busy
in the third inning Singleton beat out
a scratch to Boehler, Cochran hunted
and both runners were safe, Forsythe
went out. Meinke to Gygi and both
runners advanced McLarry hit dou-
BILE to left field and both runners
scored. Zwilling dropped koerners
fly in right center. Koerner stopped on
first and McLarry went to third with
McLarry leading off, Griffith threw II
WesterziI but Tex dropped the ball,
and loafing on the play, McLarry
scored. Koerner went to second on the
play and scored on McAllister's' single.
This ended the scoring of the entire
game The Kaws' only hit off Boehle.
after the third inning went to Rapps in
the last of the eighth.
Second Game.
The second game was pitchers duel
between Miller for Topeka and Jenkins
for the Drummers. The Kaws got 4
total of five hits off Jenkins but did |
not appear to have any more luck in |
showing the men around on bases than |
did the Drummers.
The Drummers had but three men |,
on bases during the entire game. There |
was nothing that looked like a hit of |
any character. Zwilling led off in the |
second and drew a pass but Gygli hit |
into a double play. Gygli was safe at
first on Smiths error in the fifth and
stole second. He was the only man on
the club to get this far. Kelly drew Il
pass in the eighth inning but was
forced at second when Kelly hit into |
a double play.
The Kaws had but three hits off Jen-
l<ins in the first eight innings and |
didn't get a man to third base but the !
story was different in the ninth. Sim !
gleton led off with a single to left, /
Cochran sacrificed. Singleton went 10 |
third when Forsythe was thrown out, |
Ochs to Gygli. McLarry singled to left !
and the only run of the game rushed |
across the pan. !
