Sport Wheezes
by CLUG-

st. Joseph, Mo. April 21.-Thursday
was the tenth time in Jack Hollands
eleven years at St Joe when the
weather man dished out bad weather
for the opening game of the season.
Holland now says that he is thorough
ly convinced his unlucky streaks run
in longer periods than seven years.
The day was more like a football
day than anything else. The air was
raw enough and chilly enough to have
made gridiron warriors do their best
work. However, it would not even
have been a good day to watch a foot
ball game, even for those clad in win
ter toys.
Twenty-Five minutes before the
opening of the game there were not
more than 25 people in the grand
stand and owners Holland and Savage
were still undecided whether or not
to attempt to play. But as practically
all of the business houses had closed
for the occasion, and as they would
not feel like doing it again, it was
decided to stage the battle in spite of
the conditions.
With the exception of the relief
work of West, the pitching of both
teams looked anything but good in
right and the blowup of Grover in the
ninth inning overshadowed all the
good work he had done before Som
mers, of the Drummers, was soon
pulled from the box, and Hovlick had
pretty hard time finding the plate
throughout.
But as a relief pitcher West looked
like million dollars drawing 10 per
cent interest. He went into the game
in the ninth inning after three runs
had been babe scored with a man on
second base and no outs. But the
man on second never got beyond third
and he made short work of the final
agony.
The classiest individual playing OF
the whole game was done by "Blondy'
Monroe. In addition to his valuable
stick work in the fourth inning, Eddie
played a brilliant game behind the
bat. Only one man stole a base or
him and he never would have gotter
away with it if Goodwin had been able
to cover the bag. The old Elmira peg
nabbed one man trying to swipe his
way to second, and it also caught q
man off first.
Although he got only one hit out OF
three times at bat, "AlbertiuS'
Schweitzer's triple in the seventh in
ming was just about as long a drive
as could be made in the ST Joe parl
without putting the ball over the
fence. Kruger and Agler also got nice
doubles
The Topeka management announced
that the young pitchers, Voss and
/ Lam beth-probably both of them
would be given their chance in thi
afternoons game The Savages will
return home Sunday night and will
spend all day Monday getting read,
for their opener here with Denve
Tuesday.
The Holland Drummers look bette
and stronger than they did last season
but judging from their performance
Thursday afternoon they will have t.
make some more improvements if the
are to be contenders for first divisio
berths. Manager Sullivan and LET
Fielder Kirkham probably showe
more class than any of the other
Drummers Thursday.

most remarkable part is that the
cure is being affected the usual Sore
ness is not present.
These facts regarding this successful

normal healthy conditions.
AS the spring advances and warm
weather comes with the usual season
