Mitchell went the entire route for
Topeka, and altho wild and hit freely,
he didn't show the variety of off color
displayed by both Lengquist and Vic-

hard but the blows were punched and

ing Victor came on to take up the
burden, too, because there were three
on and none out and before three men
could be killed off an equal number
of runs had crossed the plate.

Twelve of them were Solons and at

eleven hits, three of them for extra
bases. Mitchell helped win his own
game, as the saying goes. by cracking
out a double and a triple. There was
some sweet hitting during the day but
as whole it was joy killing occa-

triple by Mitchell again put the score
in a knot.
Singles by Dorland and McNulty, a
sacrifice and an error by Peterson

a one run lead in the first half of
the seventh but the SoIons were two
runs to the good before the inning was
over. Becky, first up, singled, and
Rose drew a walk, Manager Ennis

But the two run margin didn't prove
to be worth thirty cents, because the
visitors were not long in getting il

eighth and went to second when Horn

Strohm booted O'Conner's grounder.
Victor was an easy out but Kohdot
singled scoring both Mayer and O'Con-

latter was close but Pontius shut his
eyes and called the runner safe. The
Solons made a strong bid in the last
half of the eighth but failed and the
