REYNOLDS Suffered Fate OF Gene
COcreham-LincOIn Today.

St. Joseph, Mo. Aug. 23.-Ralph Bell,
the pitcher recalled by Jack Holland
from the pennant winning Winona cruz
of the Northern league, where ne out
cIassed ''Rube'' Schauer, the hurier solu
to the Giants for $4,000, celebrated his
return by defeating the Topeka kaws
here yesterday by a score or ~ 10 l.
This victory made a clean sweep OF the
series for the Drummers-
Bell had the Kaws completely at MS
mercy and what few hits they did get
were we'll scattered through the various
innings. Reynolds was delegated pE
Dale Gear to work on the mound TOT
the visitors. but after seven innings OF
bad pitching he was lifted and Fuller
ton finished the game
The Kaws made their only run in the
sixth. Rapps led off with two-bagser
TO center, going to third on passed
ball Then Sweet famed Rapps
scored on Frenchs sacrifice fly to
Zwilling. Reynolds retired the SIDE
grounding out Bell to Gygli.
Outside of the one inning where the
lone score was made only two kaws
succeeded in reaching third They had
a good chance to score in the seventh,
but good fielding cut them down with
out anything. With one down, Sweet
singled. French forced Sweet at sec
ond. Bell to Watson. Reynolds singled,
Sweet advancing to third. Cochran,
who had done heavy stick work in the
two previous games, fell down this time
and flied to 1 awson.
There was never any doubt about the
way the game was going Reynolds
was pounded all over the lot, two home
runs. several triples and a double be-
ing made off him. Zwilling was the
first man to bat on the Drummer side
in the seventh and knocked the ball
over the right field fence for a home
run. Dawson pounded out a four-base
hit in the second with a man on base.
Reynolds only pitched good ball one
inning. This was in the sixth, when
he famed the first two men and forced
the third to ground out. The score:

The boy, who is nicknamed Mag

good curve. excellent control and a
wicked fast ball. He is one OF the best
amateur pitchers in the Georgia
