BURWELL ON DECK
GoOdland PhenOm Scheduled to
Pitch This Afternoon.
Savages Lost Thursdays Game
by Z to 0 Score.

This afternoon local fans We're
schc Iuled to get their first action
view of Burwell. the Goodland, Kan
sas. pitching phenom. who was book
ed to work the last game of the series
with the Sioux City Indians.
The third game of the series was
lost to throuI.h the ineffective
pitching OF Hall anc the failure OF the
SavaEes to get more than enc hit an
inning. Schardt. the Sioux twirlaI.
held the Engle men to five safe blows,
scattered over IS many innings ana
the nearest thing to score was the
situation il first inning when. witn
two out, Goodwin tried to knock the
Paddy Belts sign off the centerfield
wall and got all the way to third on
the blow. dying here when Engie
grounded out.
Chances Were Slim.
However, the Savages would have
had to have been in an unusual hit
ting stride 20 have won. as Hall looked
worse than he has in any local @p-
pearance this season, being in trouble
almost constantly. From the first in
ming it was apparent that he was not
right and in he fourth he was batte1
all over the park. but in as much as
he was shy of pitchers. Engle left him
IN and let him take all that the OPP
position could give him.
Watson's triple and MetZ's double
gave the Sioux their first score in the
initial inning. They threatened in
both the second and third, but it was
not until he fourth that they really
came through with the big drive t.4at
captured thv entire works. Five
singles. double, r balk and two stolen
bases gave them a total of five, and
from then on they took things rather
easy, adding one more to the total in
the eighth on Halls error and a single
by Gilmore.
Fielding Was FIashy.
While they were off on their hitting.
the Savages played a flashy game in
the field and had it not beer for the
remarkable support given him, Hall
would have been defeated by a much
bigger score.
~ Goodwin. Debate and Agler. as
usual, starred in the fielding depart
ment In the third inning Goodwin
pulled the sensation of the afternoon
when he got what would have been
n triple play unassisted had it not been
that there already was one out. Gill
more was on second, Hinchman on
first and Metz at bat. Metz hit q line
drive that looked like it was going
over Goodwin's head, and both base
runners started. But Goodwin caught
the drive on his finger tips. touched
Hinchman before he got to second
and stepped on the bag before Gill
more could have possibly gotten back
where he belonged
