the heavy hitting tactics the SaVases
have been displaying ever since tney
landed in Wichita week ago toIiioi
row. Every body was hlttlns the oiu

Hall. the Cactus league twirler VINO
n rinears to be one of the corners OF the
savage staff, did not display ms pese
wares when working in the box as ne
allowed u safe bingles. But as stich
artist he was not so worse, getting
timely bingle in the seventh that sent
two runs across the plate and that as
sisted materially in prolonglng the
rally that gave the Topekans 1lNe
runs and the game.
lambeth, the eX-Empor1a pltcheT
who is substituting for Goodwin at
third also drove the horsehlde INTO
the rarified atmosphere with consist
ent regularity, getting three sa1e DIN
giles out of five attempts. 1t IS sald

the Emporia fans when he paStlmeo

Krueger. who has been the hero of
the whole Denver and Wichita trip
did not do so much with his old ASK
Tuesday and he was not given
chance in the field, but Kruger al
ready has done enough to earn an iron
cross. and a right royal welcome will
be rendered to him upon his arrival
here tomorrow.
although a dozen and more hits are
no longer extraordinary collections for
the Savages the fact that they were
able to amass fourteen from such
twirlers as Reynolds and Dick kauf-
man Tuesday shows that their supre-
macy as a wrecking crew is something
to. marvel at. OF the total dozen and
two bingles amassed by Lattimore's
battlers. Lambeth got the most with
his three out of five attempts. Monroe,
4 Schweitzer, Cochran and Agler col
lected two each and the remainder
were distributed among Tydeman,
Kruger and Hail.
AFTER this afternoons game. the
Sava ges and Denver team will board a
train for Topeka and continue their
Arguments here tomorrow afternoon.
