YESTERDAY WAS THE SAME

Dame Fortune certainly must have
deserted the Kaw BRIDES Wnen sne
lamped that group Of Frenchies, Bit
ishers, Harps, Yids and Romans tha'
Josh Cla4 Ike has nodded INTO ths
effective ball team. Anyway the
aforesaid conglomeration walked on
with three games out Of four with the
Kaws and by losing the last one salo
Kaws again sank into the subter-
ranean chamber Of the percentage
building. Yessir. The kaws are
again submerged, thanks to his jumps
whose work was of such a decomposed
nature that the board of health start
ed an investigation Of said official in
order to assure themselves that the
public was not in danger OF contract
ing the fatal disease with which his
umpship seems to be afflicted. OF
course, this .mpire-baiting stuff is
old. but there is a limit to everything,
and the Jack of eyesight shown by
Umpire Stockdale Wednesday would
send an ordinary citizen to an institu-
ton for the blind. In every other
game except this particular bit of
pastiming the little arbiter has done
good work, and it is disagreeable to
get out the tools this late.
Jupiter Pluvius Sets In.
For a short time yesterday after
noon it looked like Jupiter Pluvius
and help was goin, to add the old ball
game to his string of wins. but after
said wet goods magnate had delayed
the pastiming for a short time in the
first inning he became a little more
reasonable and decided to let the fray
continue. especially when he piped the
fact that Sioux City was playing To-
peka. Although there was a slight
precipitation Of moisture in the at
mOsphere during the later paragraphs
1t was not enough to cause Mr.. Stock
dale to call in his troops and decide
the battle by arbitration.
ImpOllte to Dashner.
Dashner was the cognomen of the
forkfisted finger who started the game
for the Kaws. The Sioux took kindly
to his offerings and chased four runs
across the platter in the second inning
before Herr Bicycle could get his good
right flipper warm enough to make a
paying proposition to shove him into
the breach. The big German with the
sweeping curves of two varieties went
well until the seventh when the Sioux
again denied the plate and then Fair
cloth finished the party.
The Kaws started off in the first in
ming like they really intended to win
that old ball game. Cochran singled
to right and the crowd yowled for the
wigwam dweller to paste the ball on
the beezer but Pete failed to do just
that and instead lifted skier to Phil
lip Cooney at second which proved to
be substitute that was not just as
good as the breakfast food advertise
ments say. But this little bit of
thoughtlessness on the part of the scalp
hunter was atoned for when Cyril Sy-
forth, after going through all the mo-
tions Of a grand opera singer at the
plate. hit one on the bugle that scared
afar over the uppermost extremity of
Josh-you-way Clarke in right field.
Cochran legged it for third and For
sythe stopped at second. Koerner poled
a long one to deep center which David
