They closed the Wichita series with
out benediction.
A com binatiOn Of things, including
so hard, attentive ball playing on their
part and couple OF be-fritzed jobs
Of fielding on the part of Topeka, gave
the last game to the visitors. Whelan
alternated by making bungles and
then redeemfng himself by fast base
work. The fans called him every
thing from a cheese to peach.
Meanwhile, the gent from Kentucky,
Mr. Sanford. was working like boy
who has to finish task before going
to the circus. For six, short, sharp
innings, the Wichitese didn't get any
thing that in the least resembled q
hit. But some of them got to him
with a tape line. In the seventh, they
had his measure, and pasted him for
three hits in row, and one run. The
score was the result of Whelan's in
ability to flag one that came down
his branch road. A minute later he
squared himself OF that error by walk
ing to first, advancing to third on the
efforts Of Tal1ion and baltimore, and
then stealing home. tying the score.
And in the very next inning. he muss-
ed another one at short, letting in the
leader of regular marathon. The
Sandhillers got five that inning, which
is entirely too many at the selvage
edge Of game. Whelan again apollo
gized for making the boot" by max
ing the hit that scored Chief and Cy.
There the show ended six-thrce
victory for Wichita, and the only kill
ing they had made in a week.
A feature of the game was an error
on Noisy Tallion. It is about the first
time he has INDUCED in anything OF
the sort since he went into the neither
most pasture. He dropped one after
he had q half-nelson on it, and the
stand roared in shocked surprise. The
scorekeeper was SO startled by the &C.
currence that he almost gave the run
Last night Fra Richard made q
noise like the Arab. He had no tent
but he folded Bill Rapps and quietly
stole away. Dick has to travel with
his bunch of boy wonders to make
sleep, instead of roughing up the Pull
man during the Silly night. He stands
guard with a bat and drives them back
into their coops when they try to come
out and discuss war and politics in the
aisle. Otherwise they might be in
clined to take their nights rest or
some foreign ball garden the next at
ternoon, at a time when wakefulness
is to be desired.
And they are going out of Kansas
When they go ,ou1t OF Kansas, Fra
Richard holds an umbrella over them
SO that they may not get their noses
er-Sunburned.
This is long road trip. Before the
Cooleybugs again decorate the home
lot with their graceful shapes, they
will have played everything but the
bull fiddle and tiddlewinks. For the
! major portion of a month the deep
reverberant bellowings Of Noisy Tai
! lion will not be heard in these parts
The handsome and talented William
Jennings Rapps will appear before
other audiences with his famous mon
ologue. full crate of hand picked
pitchers is included in the baggage
on this trip, but until Cooley can FIND
someone to "spell'' him. Hon. Bilious
Rapps will have to stop all of them
Richard is in the market for anyone
who can tighten Hon. Bills burden IL
