Hutchinson, Kans., June 11. (Spe
cial Telegram.) Johnnv Wiffli.
Packer third baseman, broke up the
first came of ttic trir tir tnHiu
whon he .cracked out a double to right
neia, scoring Maniort, who had drawn
a pass. The final count stood 2 to 1
for the salters. Both teams played
errorless oau, cut Manske, Omaha
twirler, grew shaky at times and
although the Packers were unable to
hit him he .issued eight walks, two of
which were brought in by Cleveland
and Waffli with doubles.
Jackson's aggregation pushed across
their lone ta(ly in the fourth inning
when with two gone, Hanford, right
fielder, tapped a rain-bringing fly to
"Grover" Cleveland, who executed
a maxixe, but waited to get his hands
on it. Callahan stepped into the
second ball pitched and a double to
right scored Hanford, Defate flew
out to Nolt. , ' .
The Packets cjime back with the
old determination and tied the score.
Nee and Bradley flew and grounded
out. respectively, and Block walked.
Cleveland won back the favor of the
fans when he made up for his visit
to AHadisvostok, during the descent
of Hanford's fly, by smacking out a
double to center, scoring Block.
This ended all scoring on the part of
both teams until the Packer's half of
the ninth frame.
Al Nolt pulled the old stunt the
boys used during the days when all
fighting was done with swords in the
seventh inninsr when M-fnn,r
singled to center and Monske follow
ed witn a low ny to Kolt. Al failed
tO tret tO the bill hut rm.frJ
