Among other miracles II IS possible
for base ball club 70 perform IS TO
clutter up the bases with three ath-
letes when nobody is out and then by
a series OF marvellous maneuyers fail

Pa Rourke's dc Luxe athletes
achieved such a miracle in the ninth
frame OF the combat with Wichita
yesterday with the result that Jimmy
Jackson's flying squadron won the
fray, 4 TO 2, and went south with
three out of four on the series.
Curses.
Il was a sad, sad day for the bugs
who gathered TO witness the doings.
II was a heart-breaking affair indeed,
and would move the most calloused
kuocker TO wet and weepy sobs.
Miller Makes Hit.
With the count 4 TO in favor OF
the opposition. due 10 bad start By
Cecil Thompson, Ray Miller stepped
TO the plate at the start Of the ninth
with the fire of determination flash

first ball Koestner, pitched to center
for a ripping single. Miller's blow
Jared the serene cgotism OF Elmer
Kocstner, who, il he ever flunks as a
hurler can get job as a flag pole,
and Elmer chueked four straight
balls at Oklahoma Pete Kilduff.
Ernie Kruger came next and he
pleaded with Mr.. Koestner 10 put
one over the plate so he could knock
the ball down his throat, and Elmer
SO forgot himself as to do it.
Kruger also did ii, putting safe hit
10 center on which Miller easily
scored and Kilduff went TO third. Joe
Burg laid down bunt and Koest-
ner's throw to Rapps was so high
Roaring Bill was pulled off the bag.
AS Kilduff didn't try 10 score on the
hunt, the sacks were loaded and no.
body was down.
Jackson Has Huneh.
The spirits of the bugs began TO rise
and they began TO manifest the fact

Jackson seeming impending trouble
hailed Mr.. Malafkey from the bull
pen and chased Koestncr out Of the
park. Mr. Koestner walked out; Il he
had fallen down he could have saved
lot Of valuable time.
Ii was the introduction Of Mr. Ma
larkcy that started the sad doiugs-
Mr. Malarkey came into the box rein-
forced by a glove and carload OF
horse shoes
Harry krause was the victim Of
the horse shoes. Ii fell 10 him TO hit

kilduff at the plate and Dolly Gray
hurled the ball to Rapps al first be-
