LICKED THE 'SI-0X'
JacksOn's Savages Finally De-
feated the EX-ChampiOnS.
Growers Good Pitching Backed
Up by ErrOrIess Support.

The Savages defeated ''Si-oX" City
Monday in the last game of the series
6 to ?. 1t was the second victory
since the team came home, and as
usual when a good exhibition is
staged, there were not enough fans
in the grandstand and bleachers to
justify the use of the term crowd.
Strange as it may seem, the Saw
ages have won most of their at home
games this season when there were
few spectators present and most of
the defeats have been endured before
the biggest crowds.
Maybe there is Chinese streak
Somewhre about the team Maybe
the players feel like little boys max
ing their first school speeches when
ever there is a respectable crowd. Or
maybe it is just tough luck. But, re-
gardless of the cause, it seems that
if the fans really want to see first
class game the best thing for them
to do is for each to provide himself
with d periscope, hide behind the out
field fences and keep real still and
quiet.
Bugs i'm Old Form.
Monday afternoon there was not
big enough crowd to have carried the
umpires off the field against their
will and Jackson's warriors played
bang up ball from start to finish
Bugs Grover looked like the ola
Bugs that the fans were ready TO
send to the big show early in the sea-
son. and for the first five innings he
was as invincible as woman in an
argument with a mere man. His OLD
hook his slow ball, his control and
everything he had was working and
it is very probable that he could have
pitched a shut-out if he had thought
it necessary
Behind Bugs, the team played err
rorless ball and both the infield and
outfield covered ground ike a bunch
of champions On the inffeid Coon
ran pulled a double play and maze
two put outs and two assists without
an error. and Bostick handled six
chances clearly. In the outer oe,
fences Jackson pulled down six hard
chances Brown two and Tydeman
one Bill Fisher, as he usually does,
stretched himself enough to keep sew
eraI dirt pegs from allowing men to
reach the first station
Savages Scored First.
The Savages scored the first PAIR
of runs of the game in the third IN
ming. With two men out, Cochran
singled through short, stole second,
and went to third on Crosbys error
Brown walked and Tydeman slngleu,
scoring Cochran and sending Brown
10 third. Brown trotted home on
wild heave by Boothby.
TripIets were added to the original
twins in the fifth. Grover flew Out
and Rostick walked. Cochran was
safe on Richards's error and Brown
singled, scoring Bostick. Tydeman
then came through with his third MT
of the game and scored both cochran
and Brown. Trying to steal second,
Tvdeman was thrown out and Lat
timore grounded out. 81
Cooney connected with the first
Sioux city hit of the game in the
sixth. Cosgrove followed with a sin
gle to left and Callahan drove one
through Fishers territory, scoring
Cooney. LeJeune grounded out, but
Kane hit a sacrifice fly that brought
Cosgrove over the plate and the WISH
tors had finished their afternoons
scoring.
Double Play on LeJeune.
In the eighth round the first two
men up hit Grover. for singles, but
Callahan flew to Jackson and Lee
Jeune hit one to Cochran that retired
the side on a double play.
The last Topeka run was delivered
in the sixth With two out Monroe
was safe at first on Galatians error |
and went to third on Growers double |
He scored when Boothby delivered his
second disastrous wild pitch
Today is an off day for the team
and a bad one for the finny tribe If
many of the players decide to spend |
their time angling. Tomorrow the St |
Joe Drummers begin their last stand /
in Topeka and the dope is that Mis-
souri, meat should be plentiful for the
next few days. The lineup, score |
and summary of Mondays triumph:
