But the HberaHty OF the NSlloiS
made it a Topeka victory before En-
g4e's men got their bats to swinging.
In the first inning. after Agler had
famed, Mr.. Cookingham-most all
hams sooner or later get TO be cook
ing hams-Ylade the first offerlng
when he walked Schweitzer. Schweit-
ger then started to steal second ana
Catcher Shestak helped him along to
third by mista king Oakes's feet for
second base and throwing at them in
stead of at the keystone bag. Devore
also walked and the performance re-
lated above was repeated in toto and
IN addition Schweitzer scored before
Shestak's second wild heave could be
gotten back into the infield. Engle
was safe on a fielder's choice and then
Buckingham walked two more, fore
ing in another run and removing all
doubt about the intention of the Bears
10 make presentation.
They Hit Hard.
In the fourth the Bald Pates began
to look after their batting averages.
With Allen on as the result of being
hit by pitched ball. Henning led the
assault with a driving smash to right.
Agler followed with one through short
that counted Allen, and then Schweit-
ger hit a home run to the centerfield
flag pole territory that cleaned the
paths.
Another counter was added in the
fifth on a walk, a sacrifice and sin
giles by Allen and Agler. The last To-
cal scores were made in the sixth.
After a walk and two infield hits had
filled the bases, Cookingham was sent
to the dugout oven and Doc Reynolds
took the mound. However, Doc ap-
peared to be short of slippery elm and
Immediately following a wild pitch
that scored one, Kruger slammed out
frfr,l hot Irr,
Cochran walked and stole second and
then Goodwin got his first and only
hit of the afternoon, driving in Kruger
and Cochran.
Henning, who pitched the first
eight innings, got away good, allowing
only six scattered hits and two runs.
In the ninth inning, with the game as
safe as a gold dollar in a government
vault, Henning was relieved to allow
Voorhees, the untried tWirler who has
been with the team for more than
month, to get into action and display
his wares.
VOORHEES, Shaky.
- VOORHEES, is a chin scraper by trade,
and it is reported that he is tho sole
proprietor of barber shop in
small town down in the sticks. How
ever, be that as it may, he is a rather
bucksome" looking lad to have to
waste his energy spreading lather, and
his first showing indicated that a lit
tie more practice under observation,
enough to cure him of stage fright,
might develop him into a real pitch
ing possibility.
VOORHEES, undoubtedly has stuff, but
he was too nervous to get it out of his
glove in the one inning he worked and
three hits that counted two scores
were made off him. Aside from his
showing Wednesday. the young shaver
undoubtedly has shown something
worth while to the local mana cement
as he has been on the bench for quite
a while and was taken on the present
road trip.
Both the Topeka and Denver teams
left early Wednesday night for the
Mile High City to continue their ar
gQments there this afternoon. The
Bears were scheduled to pitch
ROCKY" Ford today. and Manager
Engle had Hi James West slated to
go against him. The series in Denver
will last four days, and if the Tope-
kans continue to hit as they have been
they ought to drive a few balls over
pixies Peak in every engagement.
