such an outfield no other club has
better infield; not one has a pitching
staff as strong: and. last but MT east,
no other club has Marty Krug for It's

It might not have been altose'ne,.
I.athrop's fault, but he certainly o'ull
look like a scorcher and even oetors
the team blew up behind him ne nau

s lowed single, a walk and a douple
~ score two runs. and in the secono
; three singles and a double scoreo
three more.
Lathrop apparently found ms sun
in the third inning and retired MS OPP
moments in order, but in the fourtn
everybody else went to the bad ana
three. errors in a row filled the bases
with no outs. After that Rusty Blii
apparently did not give contlnentai
-cuss what happened to him. 1t would
take consid cradle space to enumerate
the doubles, singles, home runs ana
scores that the Omahogs made after
the fourth inning, and as white paper
is costly it will probably suffice'to say
that in all eighteen hits. two OF them
circuit clouts, gave the visitors III
teen runs
The Only Topeka Run.
The only counter the Savages made
came in the old lucky seventh when
Z Cochran's single and Agler's double
spoiled C. Thompson's shutout. Only
on two other occasions did Engle's
men have more than three batters up
: in a single inning.
-. The second game was also won east
" by Pas prancers. but the Savages
made real fight for it and this gave
the fans a chance to generate a little
enthusiasm and also washed away
Some of the bad taste left by the first
bitter pill.
Bernie Doyle started the second
contest on the mound for the locals,
but in the first inning he was pune
5 tured for pair, when, with two out
and one. on, Miller hit homer. One
more was made off of him in the sec
ond without a hit and in the third he
was relieved after an error and two
walks had filled the bases and he had
forced in = rTn by knocking a button
of Cy Forsythe's shirt. Hall took up
the task and famed Mr.. Kilduff with
three fast ones, but Burg drove one
ITO the fiagpole for homer, giving the
Hogs five scores on one hit. One more
in the fourth and one in the sixth were
all the Hogs got, but they were
enough. The game was called in the
b, seventh by agreement.
The Savage Scores
The Savages made their first coun-
: ter of the second game in the initial
inning. when Devore singled and
Goodwin tripled. Agler's infield hit.
-DeFate's double. Aliens sacrifice fly
and Marshall's error Melted two more
in the, second. On the fifth turn Coch-
rams triple. Engie's and Kruger's sin
giles and DEBATES second double hung
up two more and in the sixth the Saw
ages put, forth their best effort of the
afternoon.
Hail beat out n bunt and Deyore
forced him at second. Cochran then
bounced one over the right field fence
for homer and Prince Gaskeu was
4erked and North sent to the mound
while the hungry fans yelled for
scores.
North walked Goodwin and r;ngle
doubled. The horizon began to look
rosy and the fans broke the Eoise rec
--erd of the season. Kruger hit n sac
Tifice fly that scored Goodwin and Ag-
. Ter drew 4 pass. but DEBATE flew out to
Thompson ana the Dig rally ended
with two runs needed to tie the count
j. In the last round E,ngle sent in two
pinch hitters. but they couldn'. get
on and after Devore had singled Coch-
nan famed for the third out and it
was all over.
