TIGERS won LAST
JacksOn's Young Pitchers We're
Hit Hard Thursday.
Hall, Higgins and Sanders
Were All Given Chance.

Like most men, the SaVaSeS seem 70
find it hard to do some things before
ladies-and one of these is to win
ball game.
Thursday was ladies' day by special
dispensation and as has been the case
on most ladies' days, Topeka took the
small end of the count. Maybe there
are so many beautiful daughters of
Eve in Topeka that the home team,
knowing this to be so, just can't keep
their minds on their business. Maybe
it is pure bashfulness. But regardless
of the cause, the effect is matter of
record, and the records show that
most of the ladies' days this season
have been disastrous to Topeka's
standing.
But we hope to have ladies' days
possibly two week next season, in
spite of the fact that Thursdays score
was 1 8 to in favor of the Tigers.
Weak Pitching.
The shortcomings of the Savages
were mostly those of their pitchers,
and from the kind of ball Hall and
Sanders pitched it would have been a
miracle if defeat had not been a natur-
al consequence. During the two and
one half innings he worked, Higgins
pitched good ball, but he was relieved
to allow Grover to play the role of
pinch hitter, and Sanders, who fin
ished the game was about as effective
as a tissue paper roof would be in
cloudburst.
However, in order to relieve the
young pitcher of as much of the I'M
holy responsibility is possible, it
might be said that the Tigers started
out like they had their minds fully
made up and were determined to save
themselves from whitewash. In the
first inning they took three run
lead and this was increased by steady
growth throughout the contest
Scored in First.
In the first frame single, a triple,
a walk and two errors by baltimore
gave them their first triple. In the
second Smith led off with walk and
was scored by McAllister's triple
which was the blow that knocked Hall
from the box. Higgins took up the
task and before he got his arm linn
bered up. he permitted two men to
score on wild pitches. Hug" then
pitched shut-out ball until he was re-
lieyed in the fourth to allow Grover
to bat for him.
Sanders started the fifth and his
trouble began at once, but he man
aged to retire the side without score.
In the sixth, however, two singles, a
double a walk and a hit batter gave
the ''Tigs'' three and in the eighth two
doubles, two singles and a free pass
added to wild pitch were responsible
for four runs more.
The Savages scored their first two
in the first Bostick led off with q
single to right center, Cochran fouled
out and Brown doubled, scoring BoS-
tick. Tydeman nit SacrlIlce lily 70
MCINTYRE that counted Brown. With
two out and no one on the bags Mon
roe hit home run in the second.
Rally i'm Eighth.
Jackson'S warriors did not score
again until the eighth when they got
TO Morse for the first and only time
in an effective manner. Cochran was
first up and by the most brilliant base
running, he has displayed this season,
he stretched a skinny single into a p
hagger Brown flew out, but Tyde-
man singled to center, scoring Coch-
ran. baltimore got his first hit of the
came-a double-and scored Tyde
man. Trainer popped out and Fisher
planted a single in right that scored
Isttimore. Monroe forced Fisher at
second and the best imitation of a
rally the Savages could display was
over In the ninth Rapps, was sent
in as a pinch hitter for Sanders, but
he couldn't place one. and Bostick and
Cochran went out without effort. The
line up, score and summary:
