Trip Over Circuit.

After getting all of his southern
slants knocked all over the lot FRIDAY
afternoon and finishing that historic
day with twenty runs chalked up TOT
the opposition, said opposition includ-
ing one Herr Reisigl, Bob Clemens,
the offside server of the Witches came
back at the kaws Monday AFTERNOON
and pitched a great game all the way
through. allow ng the kaws eight mus
of being enough to annex the party to
their list of successful entertainments.
For six innings that game was any
body's that got there first and the
Wichita delegation arrived at the SCOT
ing point just Une-half length aneao
Of the Cooleyites.
Peaceful Peaches Graham was on
the job, and only once did he question
+he decision of the chief justice OF the
occasion. He became very much
peeved on that occasion, however. and
did a war dance around the plate
gesticulating to the music furnished
by his own face. But the jumps per-
son put that old proverb,. "A soft an
ton and pacified the perturbed
Peaches. At one time in the afternoon
Peaches actually became friend OF
his umpship and saved him from a
decidedly precarious pos1tion.
1t happened this way: Forsythe had
singled when Koerner hit a fast one
over the first bag that Henry shared
on the first hop, touching first TO get
Koerner, after which he threw to sec
Ond in time to get FOrsythe. but F1tz-
simmons neglected to touch him. Upon
hearing the jumps call him safe Fitz
became as pugnacious as his famous
ancestor and started a charge on Fort
Stockdale. Fitz was yowling in most
unbecoming manner for one SO large
and when Graham noticed the same ne
decided that Fitz was stealing his stuff
and marched forth with appraised nit,
commanding his bloodth1rsty hlreo
help to lay down his arms. Fitz did
the same and another grave danger
had passed over the dominion.
The first scoring of the story was
committed by the Winsome Ones from
Wichita. Fitzsimmons led off with a
hit left that almost got one of CHM
mie 2Whelan's props.
Then Joe Bills used that very con-
spicuous portion of his anatomy. his
dome of thought, and dropped a neat
Texas league just out OF reach or the
infield, which was drawn in for
bunt. FitzsimmOns went to second
and Bills pulled up safely at hrst.
Rapp followed with single, which
filled the bases with two on the re-
tired list. Henry hit a fast one to
Whelan which that gent shoed. and
Fitzsimmons registered. Graham was
out, baltimore to KOerner.
They finished their scoring in the
next inning, making a nice bunch OF
five counters in that stanza. Clemens
started a fast one in the direction OF
the mound with hit labeled on it.
Sanford saw it coming and proceeded
to put air in the space he formerly
occupied with much haste and fervor
Rabbit Ochs, who has a sweep to his
underpinning something like that pos
sessed ~ Herr Reisigl, strutted to the
plate after announcing to the stands
that he was going to hide the ball
But all the diminutive son Of the
kaiser could do was lift a high one tC
Whelan. Nicholson did better, get
ting a single just inside of the third
base line, ClemOEs going to second
ORourke singled to right, and the
bases were again filled. FitzsimmOns
was safe when Whelan committed his
second miscue in many innings
and Clemens scored. Bills got his
second single in two innings, scoring
ORourke and Nicholson. Rapp sin
gled. sending Bills to third. Henry
flied out to L Flambois. Rapp started
for second and was tagged by w
Rapps. Upon seeing the ball waiting
for him. Goldie Rapp legged it fol-
first and Bills spread himself for the
plate, scoring before baltimore
ended the Witches counting with q
total of six, which was enough to win
the game with a margin of three.
The Kaws got their first score of the
afternoons incident when Whelan was
passed in the sixth, advanced to third
with the aid of Tallion's sacrifice and
Lattimore's infield out. Then while
Bob Clemmons the transparent twirleI
Of the Wichita representatives was
looking south and winding up Chimmie
snook home. Clemmons became very
much perturbed and excited when he
beheld the midget shortstopper swipine
the rubber goods and made haste to
prevent his getting away with the booty
but in his rush to get the ball to his
boss at the plate he forgot to take aim
and the missile sailed over Willie Rapps
intelligencer and bounced against the
wire netting in front Of the stands
This little slip was the signal for a
fresh outburst from Peaches Graham
but he got over 1t in due time and the
act progressed. Rapps singled but San
ford took three large and luscious slices
of ozone and sat down.
They annexed two more in the next
stanza and for a while it looked like
another last minute rally. Cochran
started the inning by striking out but
LaFlambois had not got his hit yet and
took particular pains to get said blow
in this inning. He got 1t. a whistline
single to left center. F'orsythe singled
sending La Flambois to second. He
went to third when Henry. retired
Koerner unassisted and scored or
lowing him across the plate. Tailor
ended the canto b. lifting a skier t
Ochs.
