The presentation of the can was one
feature of the Sababth day games;
the other was the long swat of Fra
Richard Cooleyheimer. who injected
pinch hitter. Everybody knows that
Mr.. Coffey Of Denver is a good, clean.
friendly old gentleman. and there Is
suspicion that he told his pitcher
to hand friend Richard q straight one.
At any rate, Richard swatted for
about three and one-half bags, and by
supreme effort got to second on it.
loud noise broke loose in the stand.
This, be it known, was in the later
half. or olio of the paw-fawmance,
which was lost by the home team. 1t
wasn't much OF g. game. Everybody
was ratified. The flowing bowl pre-
scented by Mr.. House had gone to the
head of Uncle Willie Rapps. and his
mental jag seemed infectious. To be
frank and unprejudiced, that last
game of the season ran largely to po-
lite vaudeville. But nobody cared. at
that. 1t was a pleasant afternoon; tho
jumpers, Mr.. Stockdale. an old and ia
vorite Jump, and Mr.. Van Sickle, who
is also satisfactory, furnished the legal
findings.
The last day was gents day at the
park. Tubby-sure, q few specimens
of fall millinery were on display. but
the male vote was greatly in the ma
jority.
The first game was comparatively
easy picxings for the home letters.
They nailed 1t with a score Of eight to
, twice, and expended but little effort.
The second event was fruit for the
visitors. who didn't try very hard at
that. The homers NEEDED q whole
deck Of errors. and Fra Richard gave
everybody on the STAN chance to
| make a farewell display in white uni
form. Rags Faircloth. who has been
enjoying a long rest, was pulled In to
| start the second stanza, and the large
! person, Weideman. took q short, gtddy
whirl. Baron Reisigl was among
those present at the finish, which
| came when Cochran few to left for
the third out in the seventh inning.
! And so it is over. The Radiator
League will continue to play through
out the winter, but the voice OF Blu
Rapps and the deathly silence Of Tai
lion will not be noticeable in our midst
| well. SO long, boys; take keer
y'rselves. Baron Won Reisigl, auf
Weidersehen: N. Willie Rapps. adieu.
Call again next spring.
I! And as for that Saturday two-timer
it was q satisfactory show in the sight
of the regular Topeka audience, which
means q few dozen of the real fans
| Herr Reisigl won his game by hard
work and Austrian gall, assisted by one
baltimore and others. baltimore shone
like a live coal in q dark cellar when he
pasted one over the boundary line into
foreign territory. The Bear folks
seemed both peeved and surprised al
the result Of the first game, and viewed
with alarm when Big Boy Weidemar
started in ON the second chapter with
symptoms OF the same kind.
Der Baar-katxen frightened the forti-
ifications, and succeeded In getting away
4 with the clio with five runs, holding
the homers to q string Of doughnuts
But the crowd was fairly well satisfied
at that. They had the satisfaction o.
seeing Baron Won Refsigl and his de-
tachment turn the right flank Of the
allies, and General Weideman put NJ
a real fight against the Gasken forces
That was enough for one afternoon
anyway.
