WALL0P WOLVES
The Savages Defeated Wichita
Monday by One Run.
Bugs Grover Drove in Winning
Score in Eighth.

In Topeka it's bit different Wich-
ita's mad Wolves discovered this Mon
day afternoon when the Savages made
them a present of the smaller end of a
to score.
However, it took nine innings to
convince Ham Patterson and his pack.
and even after it was all over, sonre
of them were still able to show their
teeth and snarl as they left the field
The victory was accomplished IN
spite of the fact that Manager Jack
son did all his playing from the coach
ing line, and with Swede Wideman in
the pitchers box through seven ses-
sions. With two down and the bases
as full as a feather tick, Bugs Grover,
playing the role of pinch hitter,
drove in the winning run in the last
half of the eighth with an infield hit.
Wichita had come from two behind
in the first of the frame and tied the
count. Then Grover nosed into the
lead while the Swede was kicking over
the water bucket because he wasn't
allowed to bat.
The Wolves made a mighty effort
in the ninth to save the sinking barge.
Clunn. who went in after Grover bat
ted, disposed of Hosp and Spencer
without eXertion, but Griffith touched
him for a single and Geist, Patter-
sons pitcher-pinch hitter, smacked
another one to left. Clunn filled the
bases by hitting Charles, and the no.
rizon darkened. but Fox flew to Bos-
tick and it was all over.
Bostick in Game.
Wideman was touched for seven
biHgIes, three of which were two-bag-
gers, but he kept them fairly well
scattered. Bostick was back in the
game after a lay off since last Satur-
day when st. JOe's catcher tried to
dance jig on his face, and for a man
with a sore map, played good ball. Six
assists, one put out and only one error
made up his fielding record and a sac
ri w scored Roche
first run was his most brilliant stick
work. Cochran played flashy ball at
third and scored two of the precious
runs Monroe hit the only 3-bagger
of the game.
The beginning of the game resem-
bled 10-20-30 farce comedy, but the
finish resembled a NARROW produc-
ton of Billy's best. Wichita made
two runs in her first time at bat.
Charles led off with a double to deep
left. Fox singled to the other side of
the pasture and scored him. Tyde-
man grounded out, advancing Fox to
third and Patterson did the same
thing. scoring him.
Topeka tied the count in the same
session. Roche beat out an infield
hit, Trainer doubled and Bostick hit a
Mayer singled scoring Trainer, but was
killed stealing second and baltimore
famed.
Wideman Presents a Run.
In the last of the third the SaVages
took the lead when Cochran walked
and scored on Monroe's 3-bagger; but
the Wolves were presented with an
other run in the third. Charles was
safe at first on Bostick'S error on
hard chance. Wideman threw the ball
away trying to get him at first and al
lowed him to take third. Then the
Swede completed his gift by making
wild pitch that permitted Charles to
cross the plate.
The SavageS broke this tie again in
the last of the fourth. baltimore was
walked and Rapps sacrificed him to
second. Cochran singled scoring him
and going to second on the play at the
plate. Honus then stole third and
scored on Wideman's single to left.
This two run lead of the Savages
looked good enough to win until the
first of the eighth when a walk and
two doubles gave the Wolves two more
and made the score 5-5. In the last
