Denver Hammered KaW Pitchers
While F1elders Err.

From the minute that Tallion ping
ponged pop fly in left field. there
was grave doubt and fear in the
breasts of 400 countrymen who jour-
neyed to the Kaw ball park to see
the final game Of the Denver series.
Tallion's bad guess was registered in
the first inning with two men out.
Two men scored. Topeka evened the
score in her half. In the eighth in
ming the storm clouds that had hung
over the Kaw park during rather
sultry afternoon, drowned all hope.
The final tangle with the bear cats
started in disagreeable manner. The
early Offering of Mr.. Glaze was
when Tallion dropped an easy fly in
the first inning. the temperature OF
Topeka fans dropped 81 points. Ar
ter the first inning Glaze did better.
So did the Topeka fields. Things
went along rather smoothly until the
teams were carrying three scores on
the bulletin board. Then Denver
crept up on the Glaze offering and the
score board said 4-3.
1t was in the eighth inning that
things happened. Glaze hit for two
bases He wrenched his knee and
McGrath was sent out to run bases.
With a chance to even the score, Nc
Grath over-ran third on a hit and
run play and was tossed out. Then
McGrath went in to add to his come
back record. Fifteen minutes later
Manager Gear pointed in the general
direction Of the club house and the
net result OF the McGrath return to
fame was two more runs. one out and
the bases full. Four successive walks
were a portion Of the McGrath Of
fering.
Drucke went in to stop the bears.
But the bear cats were hungry and
thirsted for blood. They soused two
of Drucke's shoots through drawn
infield and when peace was restored
and the points counted, Denver had
registered six runs in an inning and
the meeting was ready to adjourn.
In the ninth Denver added another
on a double and a single. Topeka,
running eight runs behind, picked up
a fourth run in the final round on
French's single and Wakefield's 6ou-
