MUST HIT STRIDE
KaWs Candidates for the Cellar
if They Do Not.
Clubs Likely To Make
the Going Hard.

If Johnnie Nee's Kaws do not get
to running smoother on their northern
trip than they were running in the
last at home game with the Wichita
Izzies they are liable to come home
down in the second division. 1t is
the opinion of many observers that
at least two of the northern teams
have shown better class then any of
the southern and one of these is at
Des Moines where the Topekans pas
time this afternoon.
The Kaws Monday were out of their
stride and sadly out of luck. Also,
they were handicapped by having to
give keenan,, a recruit pitcher, n
chance to record his ability on the
score book. This latter probably was
the most contributory cause of the
casualty keenan, got by in the first
inning without puncture or blow
out and his mates gave him run
lead to lean on. But in the second
round his tires went flat all at once
and he had to be removed to keep
the innings moving. A walk, triple.
an error and a double enabled 1sbell S
Izzies to tie the count and from then
on Topeka never saw the front OF the
line again.
Tied Score in Fourth.
In the fourth round the Kaws tied
the figures when Nee got a triple and
was sacrificed home by Block. How
ever, the Wichitans wended their way
to the lead again in the seventh.
Wolf got a double when Trainer lost
his fly in the sun and Carey got on
when Nee elected to cut off Black at
the plate, the latter having gotten on
by a walk in opening of the the inning.
Wolf and Carey then pulled the popu-
lar double steal and Wolf counted.
Berger followed with a single to right.
scoring Carey. :
In the eighth Hovlik, who. had re-
lieved Black, filled the bases and pre-
scented the Kaws with a run by fore
ing in Trainer, but in the first of the
ninth the visitors put the game secure
ly behind barbed wire entanglements.
With one out Trainer again lost Wolf s
fly in the sun and Carey followed with
a double that scored Wolf. Berger
again got his finger in the pie by hit
ting a sacrifice sailer that scored
Carey.
Cleveland All There.
Practically the only feature of the
frazzled performance was a double
play in which Cleveland figured on
both ends With Wallin on second
Wolf hit a hard chance midway be-
tween third and second Cleveland
took it, threw Wolf out at first and
was back at his own station in time to
receive the return and tag Wallin.
Manager Nee. it is understood. took
time to release keenan, before packing
his grip to leave for Des Moines.
