Witches Hit May Hard in First Two Innings of Opener and Chalk Lip Fnough Scores to Win
Buffalo Pitcher
Goes Good After
Second Inning
Omaha Loses First Game of
Home Series to Wichita
by 4-to-l Score.
By RALPH WAGNER.
PENING day games in
Omaha are not, as
a rule, very suc
cessful for the Buf
, faloes, and yester
I day's opener was
(no exception. The
herd dropped the
first contest of the
season on *he home
lot and dropped It
to the league
leading Wichita
Witches, 4 to 1.
More than 4,500
frnis and fanettes turned out to wit
ness the initial game of the season
and were pretty well paid for their
attendance, even if Omaha did lose.
Tt was a good ball game after the
first two innings, with Maun hurling
for the visitors and “Buckshot” May
on the mound for the Buffaloes.
Mayor James Dahlman threw the
first hall and Charlie Black, post
master, donned the mask to catch the
mayor's delivery. Charlie Gardner of
Ajt-Sar-Ben fame was the batter. Mis.
rer Gardner permitted the first ball
to pass, just to see if Black was a
catcher. The next time the mayor
delivered the pellet Gardner swung a
la “Babe” Ruth and socked the ol'
: ptpie on the nose. The ball sailed
out shortstop way'and nearly knocked
a couple of camera men silly.
Outliit Wichita.
But for the game. The Buffaloes
outhit the Witches, collecting 11
1 ingles, among which were a trio of
doubles. The visitors connected with
May’s delivery for seven hits, one
triple and a double being listed among
the seven. The trouble with the herd
was that they were unable to hit at
the right time. In the fourth inning
with hands on second and first, the
Buffaloes were unable to give said
men on bases any sort of assistance.
Then again in the sixth, with Mc
Donald on third and Griffin on second
and only one out. Omaha was unable
to poke out any kind of a hit.
“Buckshot” May got all fussed up
over the opening reremonies and was
a little bit icared in the first two
frames. It was in the opening in- j
dings that Wichita "made hay.” The
vijitor* took advantage of May's
wildness and chalked up their four.
and only runs. In these two stanzas
the visitors made five hits, of which
one was a double and another a
triple. It might be said right here
that it was these two extra base
clouts that beat the Buffaloes.
Smith Gets First Hit.
« In the first inning Smith poked the
pellet out to center for the first hit j
of the season in Omaha. Conalan
game to bat and shelled out a one-ply
Jolt to the same spot, which advanced
Smith. The veteran Butler whiffed
and then Biakesley came along with
g double that cleared the hags.
After two hands were down in the
Wichita second, Maun strolled up to '
Oie plato and surprised Boss Gre- l
gory by hitting a single. Along came
Smith and the little fellow didn't do
anything but stick a triple out to deep
left. This three-bagger scored Maun
with the third Wichita tally and
caused a Mark cloud to come over
the Buffalo dugout. The next visitor
got in the way of one of May’s fast
opes and got hit. That put another
Wichita man on base. George Hale,
fftnaha catcher, thought he would
natch Conalan napping at first, but
bjs throw went wild and Smit hmade
tracks across the pan for the fourth
and final Wichita score.
The Buffaloes started their half of
the second in pretty good style, hut
couldn't keep it up. Bonowitz started
the frame with a single. Griffin pop
ped out and then “Big Ed” Konetchy
played the big brother act and B011
! owitz trotted down to second and
scored when Hale connected with the
hall for a double. May grounded out
•waving George stranded on second.
That little Infield play on the part of
the Witches which retired the side,
wrote "finis” on Omaha's side of
the score sheet.
Hurls Good Ball.
After the first two Innings. “Burk
shot” May hurled mighty sweet ball.
Tiie former Dps Moines Booster let
the Witches down with only two hits
after the second inning, lie was
aided by some good fielding by the
three Buffalo out-gardnerers. Man
ager Konetchy and “Tex" McDonald.
It was a hard game for May to lose
after the way he made the Witches
eat out of his right paw following
' the fatal second.
Maun also hurled good ball, but
not quite as good as the brand de
livered by May. The Buffaloes hit
Maun hard at times, hut not at the
opportune time.
"Dick” O'Connor and “Pug” Grif
fin. Buffalo fielders, pulled down n
touple of high flies out in the gar
den that brought loud applause from
*he fans.
The same clubs meet today and
perhaps the result will be a little dif
ferent. Frank Okrie la slated to take
!he hill for the herd.

“Mutt and Jeff” of Basket Ball
Chillicothe, Mo.. April 25.—George
Kennedy, the eight-foot .forward of
the Chillicothe Business college, has
been playing only one season and al
ready has been causing untold trouble
to players of the other teams of the
Missouri slate conference. Once lie
gets the ball near the goal he has no
difficulty in scoring. He plays near
the basket and the other players of his
team feed the hall to him and without
difficulty he drops therfi in the basket.
Because of his unusual height—he
measuring i feet. Ill inches—no
player has yet been found who lias
ifren able to prevent him from ring
ing them. Kennedy is still crude in
the fundamentals of the game and
t’oaeh -I. P. Neel of Chilllcothe says
that once he becomes proficient he
will be a world beater. Kennedy has
been attracting attention all over the
circuit because of his towering size
over other players on the door. In
the accompanying, picture he is
shown by tbs side of another Cliilli
cothe player, one of the largest men
on the team of better than average
height. Kennedy is only 17 years old
and expects to be in college work
several years more.

Tex Won't Let
Firpo Box Jes*
By I) W IS J. W AI.SII.
Inl crnatinnsl Sews Service S|M)rt« Kditer.
New York, April 25.—Having had
assurances from one of the promoters
of the milk fund show that neither
j Floyd Johnson nor Fred Fulton would
meet Jess Willard In the main bout
May 12, in the jvent that both made
a disappointing showing in the Jersey
! City affair, we are now sitting hack
to await developments. We probably
| w ill wait in vain.
Certainly neither looked tic part of
ja first class heavyweight 11-■ other
1 night, but any intention the pmmot
I ers may have had of substituting
; l.uis Firpo, the fur-bearing citizen of
- Argentina, as the opponent of Willard
j lias lieen blocked, wc understand. h>
! the attitude of Tex Klckard. That
worthy declines to gamble with
Firpo's future in this carefree man
I ner.
Tex Holds Option on Firpo.
Rickard holds a year's option on
- the man-eater's services for a bout
with Jack Dempsey, and the match
i“ worth a cool million if Firpo's
i credibility can !>e preserved. Sending
| him against Willard ip a semi-charity
performanci is not the most approved
method of accomplishing this purpose.
Brennan. McAuliffe, Renault and
near-beer heavyweights of the same
clnss are more in line with Mr. Rick
; ard’s plans.
Reports, however, are current that
a rearrangement of the show is in
order, but we doubt this. The shift,
it is said, would brim; Firpo forward
from the semi final to meet Willard
and drop Johnson back to the match
wish Jack McAuliffe 11. Another
rumor had It that Fulton would get
the Willard liout, in spite of the fact
he losf to Johnson.
Johnson I-ark* I’uiirh.
Fulton and Willard would inject
all the life and action of a slow-mofion
film into the proceedings. Both are
slow and strictly neutral when it
comes to making overt gestures.
The objection to Johnson is more
of the idea than a reality. He beat
Fulton with plenty to si-are. He.
however, made hut slight impression
on Fulton’s trick chin, although he
socked -t no less than 59 times during
the evening.
The point, therefore. ha« been made
that he can hardly hope to hurt Wil
lard. who is reasonably tough.
If pies are cooled too quickly they
w ill become soggy.
