ONLY RUN SCORED IN SECOND
All Austrian Victories Not Won
in Europe.
Stellar Fielding Stunts Fea-
tured the Contest.

The Austrians do not win all their
victories from the allied powers of
Europe. That country has faithful
representative named Herr Reisigl
with the Topeka club of the Western
league who wins frequently with his
faithful right arm and Wednesday
was his lucky day. Reisigl pitched
the first game on the home grounds
since the clubs return from a long
swing over the circuit which con-
sumed twenty-nine days and he
helped his club celebrate the event by
holding the Des Moines club to four
safe hits and a shut out. The final
score was / to 0 in favor of the home
boys.
Mogridge was almost as good as the
Austrian. Left handlers usually have
something on the Topeka club and
this sOuthpaw certainly had 1t in this
contest. They banged at his delivery
and pounded out q total of ten safe
hits but he kept them so we'll scat
tered that the home crew got but one
score. Even at that, Mogridge was
lucky. SO to speak, and nothing but
rare fielding and good judgment on
his own part, prevented the Cooley
ties from scoring several more runs.
Taking everything into consideration,
it must be admitted that the prize
pitc.- of the Des Moines STAFF was
lucky.
Reisigl looked as good as old wheat
in the mill from the very beginning.
He had perfect control. and with ev-
cry man on the club behind him, urg-
ing him to continue the good work,
he forced the Des Moines Boosters to
bite the dust in rapid order. Haley
was the first man to g. a safe hit OFF
Reisigl. That was in the second in
ming with one out when lie doubled
along tie right field foul line. An
dreas and Ewoldt were the next hit
tiers and they popped out. With two
out in the fifth inning, Ewoldt tripled
to left center but Hartford was an
easy put out from LattiE-ore to Koer-
ner. Again in the sixth, Mogridge
famed. zBreen singled and was out
trying to st al, Hahn walked and
Jones was safe at first when Reisigl
dropped Koerner's bad throw to first
That was the last chance the visi-
tors had.
The Cooleyites threatened to score
again in the third inning when with
one out Forsythe singled, Koernel
went out and TALL n beat out 9
