ONE To NOTHING
Savages Took Single Score
ShutOut From Indians.
HeadWOrk of Jackson Made the
Score Possible.

Jimmy Jackson, formerly of the
City of Brotherly Love, defeated Sioux
City yesterday afternoon at Western
League park by the score of 1 to in
as pretty ball game as will ever be
seen this side of old Bill PENIS first
American chicken ranch.
The credit for winning said game
is given to thee James, in spite of the
fact that thy brother Sammy Mayer
made the score, and in spite of the
fact that thy beef ladened Swede
pitched a great shutout.
1t all happened in the last term of
the fourth inning-all of the brainy
baseball and the wild peg that gave
the Savages the lonesome score of the
afternoon-and for the benefit of the
poor, unfortunate, luke-warm fans
who missed seeing it, the details are
set down as follows:
AS was stated above, it was in the
last of the fourth session. 1zzy Bos-
tick had fouled out to Indian David
son. Sammy Mayer was treated with
the respect that befitted his genius
and was given walk. baltimore flew
to the left country and was out. Then
Philadelphia Jimmy stepped into the
box with his shoes full of mud and
his trousers dripping water. He took
a look at couple of Boothby's offer
ings and then smashed a single to
right.
Worked Indians.

the game. Mayer had gone to third
on his single. Jimmy baited a throw
to first to catch him. Then he played
between first and second while Mayer
was getting dangerously close to the
home rubber and the ball was thrown
to Crisp to catch Sammy. However.
he backed into third in high speed and
Crisp pegged so rapidly that he lost
the range and hit Sammy. The ball
bounced out of HenSling'S immediate
reach and Sammy scored.
After this, Roche famed, and there
was nothing to the remainder of the
game but brilliant fielding. However,
the spectacular stops and catches of
baltimore, Mayer. Davidson, Clark,
Young and Cooney were well worth
the price of admission if no score had
been made at all.
Twice, once in the third and once
in the eighth, baltimore arose to
emergencies and saved Wideman's
three hit record. Davidson's work in
left on a deep fly and a wide foul was
1000 per cent efficient, and Pepper
Clark handled six chances in center
field like a real. regular outfielder. In
fact. Clarke filled the boots of Lee
Jeune as we'll as the Giant himself
could have filled them He got two
hits out of three tires at bat and was
in the game all the way. LeJeune was
bitten on the wrist by some kind of
an insect on the trip to Topeka, and
the bite was giving him considerable
confident the insect died long since.
Young Robbed Roche.
OF the other spectacular plays,
young's pilfering of Roche's clean
single in the seventh, and one that
Cooney ran back on were the best.
In fact, in spite of their two errors,
the Indians fielded in a superb man
ner and if they had not done SO, it is
more than probable that Boothbys
initial appearance in the Western
league would have been something
that he would have tried to forget.
Wideman pitched mostly from his
right hip pocket. and pitched his. best
game of the season. In fact, 1t was
the general belief among the fans that
he was pitching with his job on the
table, and that it was a case of make
good. or make room for someone who
could.
Only once, in the third inning was
he in danger of being scored on. Clark,
the first man up, singled for the first
hit of his team. Crisp followed with
would surely have been hit had
baltimore not been covering the bag
to receive a throw. But Latte snaked
it with all tours on mother earth and
crawled to the bag. making it a force
out. Boothby followed with a fly to
right field that Trainer dropped, but
the former Biddie recovered and
heaved her to second for another force
out. Cooney singled, but Davidson
grounded to Mayer, retiring the side,
and the Indians lost their one and
only chance to burst a goose egg.
On the whole, the game was of the
kind that is rarely seen. There were
no explosions, no flukes. no arguments
and no delays. On the other hand
there was good pitching, great fielding
and something doing all the time
And to say that it was too good a
