SPLIT WITH BEARS
The Savages Won One and Lost
One Sunday.
DaShner Struck Out Nine Men
i'm Last Game.

Two thousand seven hundred and
twenty-five Topekans visited the ball
park Sunday afternoon by way of the
box office and saw the Savages split
the first local doubleheader of the
season with the Denver BearenaS.
The first game went to the visitors
by the score of to 2, and the Sdva ges
annexed the second to 1. The teams
were as evenly matched two stacks
of red poker chips. and the variations
were only to be detected in the twirI-
ers. Gaskell's superiority over San
ders gave CoffeyS men the first game
and Dashner'S greater efficiency en-
abled the Savages to cop the second.
The old reliable :nimal-domestic
Animal now-was, by far and wide,
the class of the pitching talent dis
played. In the pinches he was tight
Nine times he made CoffeyS men hit
and never did he allow them more
than one hit an inning.
Sanders n Bit Off.
Sanders, on the other hand. was
somewhat of a disappointment He
was a bit wild, and the only thing
than his glove was fast ball with
some stuff on it. He held his head
well. in the holes, but his fielding of
hot ones could not be called brilliant.
Gaskell pitched mastery ball for the
Huggers in the first game, allowing
only four hits scattered over three in
nings.
In the first game the Savages bios
somed, bloomed and withered in the
initial inning, making the only two
scores they got in the game. After
Roche had hit a high one to Spencer,
Bostick singled to right. Trainer was
safe at first on Shields error and May
er hit one deep into center, scoring
both. But trying to stretch his clean
double into three bases, Sammy died
at third, baltimore grounded out and
the Savag es were never able to get an
other one across.
The Bears put their first one on ice
in the first of the second frame, as
sisted by the umpire. Shields singled
over second base and stole second on
close decision that looked like an out.
Kelleher grounded out, but Shestak
singled to left and scored Shields.
The two scores that won were made
in the fourth. Manager Coffey led off
with a single and stole second and
third. Shields sacrificed and was safe
on Sanders error, Coffey going home.
Kelleher fouled out to Rapps, but
Shestak hit sacrifice fly to center
that scored Shields. In the eighth
Shields singled again, was safe at sec
ond on Bostick's error and scored
when Kelieher connected with one.
The Second Game. 4
In the second game the Savages
opened the scoreboard with one in the
second frame. baltimore walked,
Cochran sacrificed him to second and
Rapps scored him on a single after
Tallion had fou1ed out.
In the fifth the second run was
added without hit. TalliOn, first up,
drew a walk and was given free pas
sage to second when Cantwell hit
Rapps with a pitched ball. Both men
advanced a base on wild pitch and
Dashner choked the sacks when he
was safe at first Coffey's boot.
Then Cantwell hit Roche with a
pitched bah and forced III Tallion for
the run. The bases were still full with
no outs, but Bostick flew OUT to Spen-
Ger. Rapps was killed at the plate on a
pretty throw in and Trainer retired
the side with a fly to center.
The third and last Savage score
same in the sixth. baltimore hit one
TO the fence for two bases and scored
on Tallion's single. Tallion went to
second on a passed ball, bat the side
was retired and was never afterwards
within seeming distance of a score.
Denver's lone, lonesome run was
made in the seventh. Shields, the
chief run getter of the day, was first
up and drew a walk. keneher ad-
Vanced him with One-bagger to CEN
ter and he crossed the plate on Shes
talks sacrifice fly to right. The line
