SaEages Lost First and won
Second Game Tuesday.
All of JackSOn'S Pitchers Out Oh
Their Strides.

The ni+cbine, works of the Savage
machine were. a bit out of order IueS-
day and as a result the pest JiIIilI2
jackson could do was 10 taht d
split on the afternoon : douplelleelue
the first engagement with the score u
to = and the locals sailed away the
second, 8 to >.
The Sayages used every pitcher they
had during the afternoon except Bugs
Grover and none of them save Squire
Miller Higgins showed enough loriIl
TO cinch a Job in class d league
Higgins went into the first game
with two on bases, one out ana an
other batter ready to walk The young
Topeka product proceeded to choke
the bases and then famed the next
two batters who faced him. In hve
and Uwo-third innings he allowed only
three hits and the wicked stun ne
put on the ball made 1t Impossible
for the Bears to touch it save by accl-
dent. but in the seventh frame ne
walked three men. showed that ne
could heave wild one and allowed
two bingles that counted four runs.
Animal Dashner had the honor OF
starting the first game and f1nlshnS
the second In the first inning of the
first Coffey's warriors walloped out
three singles and a home run Tor TOUR
scores and the Animal was sent TO the
house. T..
after Clunn and Lakaf had been tried,
he was sent in in the first of the fifth
and allowed but three hits and two
runs. Sanders occupied the mound for
a part of three innings in the first
game.
E.rrCs.less Playing.
Both teams played errorless ball in
the first game, did the SaNaSeS in
the second. But Denver accumulated
five E-marks in the last In the first
the Savages made hits and the GriZ-
lilies IL In the second the Savages
s and Denver 8
After Spencer had made the initial
out of the afternoon, Miller was safe
on a single to right that Trainer prob
ably would have gotten if it had been
a dry summer. Mccormick fouled out
and Galloway placed one safely in
right, and Coffey singled to center,
scoring Miller. Mississippi Shields
then stepped into one of Dashners
fast ones and soaked it squareIy on
the oscuIatory center. Jackson saw
the hard kissed pill coming his way
and begar to back up to the fence,
but it went over and Shields trotted
home with two men ahead of him.
And this was all that was needed to
win the game.
With two down and two on, Jack
son managed to manufacture a lone
some run in the same round when he
drove single to center that scored
Cochran. The Bears counted again in
the third when Miller singled and was
scored by Galloway'S three-bag ger to
cente4-
In the last of the sixth Dell, Fisher
and jackson tapped Harrington for
three singles in a row and with the
bases full and no one out hope began
to spring in the fans breast, but COT
fey called GaskeI to the rescue and
the best the Savages could do was to
count one run that was driven in by
Trainers single.
The last scoring of the first game
was done by the DenVerites in the
first of the seventh when Higgins
couldn't make EN- hug the plate and
allowed four scores on two hits.
The Second Game.
The second plum was pIucked bv
the Savages in its infancy just like
Denver took the first one. After the
Bears had made one in the first round
the Savages came to bat and piled up
four. Eight TOpekans stood in the
batter's box before the side was re
tired and the four scores We're pro-
duced by three hits. walk, a stolen
base and three errors.
Cochran, first up, laid one down
along the third base line, gently and
slowly. Coffey had hard chance and
in trying to hurry up the throw to
first heaved a bit wild and it got by
shields, Cochran going all the way
to third. Bostick flew out. but Dell
on il, Cochran scoring. Fisher beat
one out and Spahr threw the ball
away, allowing Dell to score. Fisher
tried to get to third but was out,
Shields to Kelleher. Jackson was
safe on Spencer'S error which prob
ably would not have been made if his
feet had been webbed. baltimore
walked. and Trainer doubled bring
ing in both Jackson and baltimore
Denver made two in the second and
the Savages banked another when
Iakaff was safe on Kelleher's error
and scored on Fishers single. In the
third the Topekans made three on
three hits, a sacrifice. a wild pitch
a stolen base and an error and then
closed their score board for the after
noon Denver put one man across the
plate in the fifth and one in the sew
enth. but the longer Dashner stayed
the better he got and most of the
crowd realized that the battle was ours
and left for a late evening meal.
