SANFORD EFFECTIVE PITCHER

The Cooleyites continued their win
ming streak by defeating the Omaha
club Friday afternoon. The contest
was a pitchers battle between Willis
and Sanford Willis was the better OF
the two and was going sood uhSl tne
first half of the seventh. when ne at
tempted to choke Umpire Stockoale
and was ordered to he club house. Inc
result might have been different nau
he been allowed to finish the game.
Sanford was pitching out of hole in
practically every inning. but was get
ting away even though the audience
was on the verge Of collapse.
The final core was to l.
The contest was one OF the naroesI
fought attles eve1 seen on the iocaA
grounds. Willis, pitching for Omaha,
had defeated the Topeka club SO many
times this season that pitching against
them was becoming monotonous. 10
peka has broken the Omaha hoOdoo.
Cochran led Oft in the first ana MI sa nS
by clouting the first ball pitched. ana
the rest Of the club went out IN or
der In the second, with two out, Lat
tinore hit safe but Wakefield was next
and went out. Willis then frightened up
like a clam and didn't allow another
hit until the sixth inning when the
locals showed the first run of the game
across the pan.
Krug was called out in the first Of
the seventh when trying to score on
the throw-in after La Flambois had
caught Congalton's fly. He left the
base too soon and the decision peeved
Mr.. Willis. He allowed his wrath to
get control and he attempted to choke
Umpire Stockdale. The services OF the
grounds keeper were necessary to IN
duce Willis to go to the club mousse.
Crabb finished the game.
Sanford was not pitching as good a
game as his opponent and his club was
partially to blame. Cochran made one
error behind him and Tallion was go
ing bad on account OF injuries received
in the game Wednesday. The visitors
had men on bases and threatened to
score in every inning but Sanford was
successful in pitching himself out OF
trouble. .. ..,,-
Locals Were First to Score.
The locals were the first to score:
La Flambois led off in the sixth and
beat out an infield hit; Forsythe sac
rificed. Koerner tripled and the Indian
scored. Koerner was caught off third
on McAllister's fielder's choice and was
run down on the base line. Koerner de-
layed the play long enough to allow
McAllister to go to second base. Tai
lion went out on an infield play because
he could not make time on his game
leg.
The visitors got their only run in the
eighth innirg when Kruger led off with
a double. Graham sacrificed. Tallion
juggled Crosby grounder Until he
didn't have Z ne to nip Kruger at the
plate so was compelled to play Crosby
at first.
The locals got their second and the
winning run in the -ast half of the
same inning when. with La Flambois
out. Forsythe drew a pass. Koerner
doubled and Forsythe scored on Nc
Allister's fielder's choice. Tallion flew
out to Congalton, the latter making
a feature catch.
Dunlap. at short for the visitors, was
going bad. and after making three err
rors. he retired. Krug was brought in
from the outfield to play short. Kruger
went to left field and Crosby went in
to catch.
Two games are scheduled today, the
first being called at o'clock. The
Sioux City club will come Sunday.
