Winning dolble bills seems to be q
favorite pastime of the Kaw brides
Not content with walloping the win
some Witches from Wichita in the
first act of the matinee at the ball
yard Sunday afternoon. they came
right back and repeated the dose in
the second Incident, although they
were a little more careful about the
patrons feelings in the second affair.
The frs. game was featured by the
rather "nawsty" temper shown by one
Peaches Graham. cOmmGnder-in-chief
Of the forces of Wichitakavitch. On
several separate end distinct occasions
did Mr.. Graham manifest his extreme
disapproval OF Mr.. Stockdale's arbi
trating. ard at the Kaw ball park on
the Sabbath afternoon Gawg Peaches
Graham did then and there proclaim
with much gusto that he would for
less than one cent fresco Mr.. Stock

beautiful and weatherproof floral de-
signs. which favor said Mr.. Stockdale

hitting that + is countenance as it was
was sufficiently attractive to get the
lady bugs on his side OF the argument.
Mr.. Graham was not the only one
who lost his live stock. by the way.
One Cyril Forsythe did also lose a
valuable rumirant somewhere in the
Kaw pasture. Cy became SO peeved
at the way Mr.. Graham insisted on
belaboring the abbreviated jumps with
unkind and unholy phrases that he
arose to righteous anger and de-
manded the immediate Punishment of
the aforesaid gullible party who was
the cause OF the slight disagreement
After expanding valuable time and
energy in useless oratory the afore-
mentioned individuals allowed the lit
tie entertainment to progress.
The first paragraph in the after
Moons chapter was enough to make
any citizen with a weak pumping ser
vice think of plumes and sneaky mu-
sic. Those redlegged Witches insisted
on walking off with the little exhibit
ton while the men of Cooley insisted
that it belonged to them inasmuch as
they had short time ago loaned
Sioux City three games and they were
running short Of funds.
Peaches Graham and his eccentric
assistants started out in the second
inning to put the game away. Bills
started the trouble with three Dagger

head. He scored on Rapp's hit to
left. Rapp stole second after consid-

lected to hold on to his war club and
said war club almost derailed Ridgway
who stopped it with the lowermost
portion of his person. Everybody rest
ed while Graham pursued his unruly
swatstick. Graham regretted the ac-
cident for only one thing and that was
that Mr.. Stockdale was not right
where the bat attained it's greatest
altitude and velocity. Graham was
morgued by Ridgeway and Koerner.
total in the ninth inning and that one
made it look like they would sure win
the act. Nicholson led off with a hit
to left that was a single ordinarily, but
the speedy outfielder turned 1t into a
two base hit. O'Rourke went out, Lat
timcre to Koerner, Nicholson going
third. Fitzsimmons smashed two

olson ambled across the skillet. Bills
ended the epoch by grounding out
baltimore to Koerner.
Then came that finish. 1t was one
Of those accidents that make the hos
pitfalls do a thriving business for sew
eral hours afterward. 1t even caused
the dign.fied and sedate Richard
Cooley to toss his roof in the ambient
ether and do a maxixe around the
enclosure like corn cure advertise

the best ball game of the present Sc
ries with the Witches.
The Herr Reisigl was sent in to do
a pinch hitting act and he delivered
with a whistling single to center, but

through with a two-bagger that
scored Cochran from first. Mr.. Slagle
decided that "Chimmie" Whelan
looked better to him than Phillip
Koerner, inasmuch as he lacks some
thirty pounds of the avoirdupois car
this thought in his mind the crafty
Slagle threw four wide ones to Phil
and then beamed on Whelan as that
sawed-off young man faced him. But
"Chimmie'' made their guess look like
a large hole in the climate. He soak

crossed the plate before the ball had
started it's return journey to the dia-
mond. Then something broke loose.
We were going to say pandemonium
but that could not stay in the same
league with what followed. Hats
were rendered hors du combat In
fact everything breakable about the
park was in grave danger of becom-

element was over.
