DOubleheader Today and Then
for st. Joseph.

The Cooleyites could not beat both
of the Des Moines lefthand pitchers in
succession and suffered defeat by the
second one, Thomas, in the second
game Of the series. The score was
6 TO I. Cooley sought to overcome the
efforts of Frank Isbell by sending his
southpaw, Dashner, out on the firing
line, but the latter was wild and 1nef-
fective. Grover relieved him in the
fourth inning with the score to . ana
two men on the bases.
Thomas, who was with the Drum
mers during the early part of the sea-
son, was puzzle to the home crowd.
He had perfect control and practically
perfect support. He did not allow
more than one hit in any one inning
excepting the fifth and then they
punched three singles and scored their
only run Of the contest. Cochran, Whe-
Ian and Forsythe got the hits, the for
mer scoring.
Dashner did not look right from the
very beginning, and although he
escaped the first inning without allow
ing a run, he walked two and a single
filled the bases but Andreas popped
out to Koerner, and that shut off a
run.
One game Of the doubleheader,
which was advertised. was postponed,
on account of wet grounds and two
will be played today if the weather
will permit.
Following this bill, the Drummers
will come for four games but a double
header Sunday will cut their visit to
three days. The score:

A Fine Place for Mushrooms.

In search Of some reason why the Des
Moines team should clean house with
Cooley's cherubs Thursday afternoon. 1t
was discovered that Tex Jones had
hip pocket full of dry dirt.-imported
of course, which he pc 1dled to his
pitcher. A pitcher can't pitch unless he
has some dry dirt to rub on his hands,
face and pants, a little for his hands
and a whole lot for his pants. Another
thing contributory to the defeat of the
home guard was the absence Of dry dirt
around the home plate. a catchers
signals nearly always include some
maneuver that requires the handling of
dry dirt, as, frinstance: picking up
handful Of dry dirt and pouring it in the
right ear, "a drop outside; throwing a
little dry dirt over the shoulder into the
umpire's left eye. wide pitch" EFT
see that the home catchers were aw-
fully handicapped except when Tex
Jones was at bat and they could frisk
him for the loan Of little dry dirt.
Another jinxful condition arose from
the fact that the game opened with two
left handed pitchers and left handed
umpire. CASTOR, behind the bat. Dash
ner started for the locals. and Lefty
Thomas for the Dee Ems. Thomas
stayed it out, but it was Dashner's bad
day of the week, and he blew in the
fourth, and Grover was elected for the
unexpired term. The bashi-bazouks
from Ioway seemed to hit one about as
well as the other. 1t looked for a while
like the visitors were going to score
the string of Arabic numerals in reg
ular order. The first four innings
showed in their column thus: o, l, q g.
Had they followed that sequence. it
would have been some score, but they
didn't. 1t was in the first inning with
Grover presiding that Husky Haley, the
visiting catcher, hit for two and scored
a couple of his fellow criminals.
In the fifth, Cochran made the first
score for the home contingent with
the aid Of swat delivered by For
sythe. 1t was also the only score made
by tie old home boys, although they
got seven hits.
Once during the game. a ball al
most hit Hahn on the thumb, and he
wanted, oh so badly, to walk to first.
The Jump, who had heard the impact
of the ball, inspected Hahn to see If
that thumb was made of second
growth hickory. Discovering that it
was not, he insisted upon the unfor-

WHERE DID HE GET THAT STEAK
(By Harvey Parsons.)

(By harvey Par8OnS.)
Last night. something happened on
West Thirteenth street that savors OF
mystery. Hon. D. G. Cooley had for
supper, an inch-thick steak, smothered
in mushrooms. The secret Of the mush-
rooms has been cleared up. But where
and how he got the steak is still mys-
terry, and should be investigated by
Sherlocko Arthur, the boy wonder de-
tective and motorbike cop.
Tho mushrooms came from the ball
park. Wednesday afternoon, while on
the coach line, or as usual, just three
feet inside of 1t, Mr.. Cooley discovered
that the ground was full Of mushrooms
of the size and pattern known to the
trade as Selects" That night he sent
his trusty henchman, Dick Brown. to
garner the crop. and Dick garnered
about gallon Of them. There is but
one way,-sure way, to tell he differ
ence between a mushroom and a toad
stool, and that is to eat 1t. The evidence
that they were mushrooms may be
found in the fact that Mr.. Cooley's
obituary notice has not reached this Of
flee. For he ate them.
But that doecn't explain where he got
the steak.
