SPEED IS DECIDING
FACTOR IN VICTORY
RECORDED BY PEPS
Daring on Base Paths and Rari-

Count.
MOSELEY DOWNS CULLOP

FEED spelled success for the Peps
in the one game it was possible
to play against Kansas City yester-
day. 1t was Vim Campbelrs speed in
gong to first in the first inning that
made his tap good for a safety and
caused Nick Cullop to throw badly,
ms throw seeping through the able
paws OF George Stovall for an error
mat gave Vim an extra bag. The
+ reps speedily sewed up the game by
getting two runs In that first inning
-that was more speed. And then it
was speedy dash by Edd Roush in
the fourth that stole a run from the
hackers and insured a victory.
PEAKING of speed, there was Earl
- Moseley's binding splitter that
sped by the Packer batters, who
lrandished their bats with futile re-
ilits against Earl Speed! Yes. it
vas speed, too-the rihe-like peg OF
hii Rarlden's arm that clipped Gill
more Off second base with the bags
ioaded, two out and one run needed
to tie the score in the second. Speed
plus punch plus grit makes pennant
winners. Twenty thousand fans pulled
for the Pops yesterday and We're
1airly carried away by the dazzling
speed of the one game Rain spoiled
the other half of the program-a
double bill being scheduled today.

HE speed with which the Pops got
L started spoiled a little fun for
the late arrivals, who storned the
gates for admission after the battle
had begun. Chadbourne was first m
for Kansas City. He walked. but he
was put out at second when he at
tempted theft, Rariden's throw being
perfect, as were its two successors
The other two Kansas citizens were
made to order for Moseley. Newark's
half of the inning brought the as
sembled thousands to their feet with
q jump and jolt that shook Kansas
City's pennant aspirations to their
very foundation.

n AMPBELL opened up with a little
tinkling tap to the right side OF
the diamond. Cullop fielded it with
all OF the speed at his command, but
YIN bested the peg and took an extra
base on the pitchers bad throw.
That brought Fighting Bill McKech-
ME up to sacrifice, and Bill con-
tributed his mite. The fans implored
Esmond to produce just fly, but jim
caught one on the outside, and there
was splitting screech as the ball
scared away to left center, while
Esmond took three bags. Campbell
counted on the wallop. Roush raped
teasing little swinging bunt toward
first.
Cullop flelded It, too late to get
Ecr11rN1d huf he did
manage to block the rally by killing
Roush at first base. Those two runs
drew interest at large figures as the
game grew older.
II ANSAS City made strong bid TO
IN tie 1t up in the second inning and
might have succeeded but for Bill
Rariden.
with Perring out, Shaw and Ken
worthy placed nice little singles in
right field. Gilmore followed with a
line double to right, the ball falling
an inch inside the chalk mark. Shaw
scored, but Kenworthy was held on
third base. Easterly then was passed
purposely with double play in view
TT HAT was the high water mark Of

gressive. Once In the succeeding
rounds they got man as far as third
base with two out. Gilmore was the
man. He singled and took second on
an erratic peg by Moseley, who at
tempted to nip him off the bag.
Easterly cracked one to left, but
Schees raked in the drive after a mo-
ment of intense suspense. Cullop was
on infield out and Raush took Chad
bourne's toy fly.
Moseley was the master at all times
thereaf fter, while Newark got credit
for a run through Roush's daring in
No. A. with one down, Roush bunted
unexpectedly. The move caught Ken
worthy mapping and he heaved the
ball while Roush raced to second
base.
A wild pitch put Roush on third,
and he then made daring dash Tor
the nan on Gilmore's catch of Scheer's
short foul. Stovall opened the ninth
with a hit after Moseley had cooled
off waiting for the bleacherites to
reach the grand stand to avoid the
rain.
Perring, however, and then started a
nerfectly gorgeous double play on
Shaw's grounder that ended the game.
