Notes on the Game.
Tonnemar was forced out of the
game in the fifth inning when foul
tip broke his little finger on his right
hand. Monroe also is in bad shape from
a split finger secured in the opening
game. The reliable Bill Rapps was
on the job, however, and caught a
nice game.
Tallion made great running one
handed catch over his shoulder in the
sixth and robbed Henry of a triple;
His error was made on a fly ball that
he made a pretty run for, but dropped
while he was standing still.
Pitcher W1deman deserves credit
for pitching a great game His fast
ball had a hop to it that puzzled the
Wolves and they were popping the
ball in the air. Ten putouts were made
on balls hit in the air. Five were
famed and but four walks were is
sued.
Notes on Fridays Game.
Monroe and Roche sure delivered
the goods at the proper time, and
| Grover pitched one grand game He
famed eight and walked three, while
the opposing pitchers struck out only
three and walked eight.
| The Savages were robbed of several
limo drives. In the fourth Tallion was
robbed by Manager Wares, who jump
ed in the air and speared a line drive
with one hand. Wares offended again
| in the sixth when he took Growers
called while the Wolves manager
rubbed some life back in his hand.
Rapp speared a hot drive off Latti-
more's bat in the third.

4,446. Counting the passes for patrol
men, bands and the boys who were ad-
mitted free to a bleacher constructed
for them through the courtesy of the
Elks lodge, there were easily more
than 5000 persons in the park.
That boy Cochran has some arm.
He pegged a couple over from third
so hot on hurry-up plays that Wool
ums couldn't hold them.
! There is no doubt but that the Saw
ages are a scrappy baseball club. If
they keep up their aggressiveness
circuit. Aggressiveness is all right
| If not carried too far. Tonne
man perhaps had kick coming on
the jumps balls and strikes but he
registered too hard and it finally re-
quired the services of six handsome
patrolnen to usher him out of the
game. Manager Jackson got his a
few minutes later.
Wichita turned out a fine crowd
which got it's moneys worth if the
opening game was lost. Many plays
by the visitors were applauded.
Roche played a great game at short
for the Savages. He made a wild
throw to first in the first inning after
taking hit to deep short, but he
more than made up for his one ex-
cusable error He took a line drive
off Grahams bat in the fourth and in
the sixth he pulled the Savages out
of a dangerous hole by starting fast
double play. He handled six putouts
and four assists. Some busy day. He
also cracked out a double and sin
gle and stole two bases
Manager jackson started out to
have a busy day. He took care of
three chances in center in easy fash
| ion in the three innings he played.
Bill Rapps subbed in center and also
handled three putouts-
Monroe got a foul tip on the fore
finger of his right hand, splitting it
badly. A package of tape was used
and he went on, catching a classy
game.
