TOPEKA IS DEFEATED, 9 TO 7

Keen the Pace to the
Finish. . . ,
y; Norman Coyle, Pa'a classy outfielder,
Won yesterday' frame for Omaha In the
seventh Inning when, batting In a pinch,
. he clouted out a two-bagger with the
, base full, sending three runs across and
making the final score Mo 7, with Topeka
"at the short end.
Coyle was not feeling well before the
game started and Scanlon was sent In at
the tfsfet garden while the regular sat en
'the bench. When the Rourkes came to
bat in the seventh the score was one
. against them. Two men were out when
two walks and a single filled the bags.
, Manager Arbogast got a "hunch" and
.sent Coyle In to bat for Robinson. The
. first ball McKee sent him was Just to
This liking and he lifted It to the light
garden fence, wUlle the three men on
''.bases aniblrd across the platter.
Three pitchers had been uafd by the
v Rourkes and Hall was the only available
" man to send In. He pitched shutout ball
'"In the eighth and ninth.
' Omaha started out strong and It looked
"like the Rourkes had put the gams on
Ice when they managed to slip four runs
' across the plater In the first inning after
two were down. But the Kaws were not
rteaten by long odds and deadlocked the
score In the fiurth with three runs, and
"rent In the lead with one run In the
j seventh. ' (. .
f Jn the, fourth, with but one out. the
Rourkes filled tb bases, but a, great
double play robbed them of a run. Jus-
; tlce. Scanlon and Johnson were on base
when Kane hit a hard one to Cochran.
..The little fellow made a great atop and
.tagged Johnson and shot the ball to
Gardner In time to double Kane. :
" Topeka Make a a Kffort.
I looked for awhile In the ninth as If
the Kaws were going to deadlock the
score again and make the session go Into
extra Innings, but Hall settled down with
ft man on third and another on second
with two out, and Nagle fanned after he
' had connected safely three times pre-
- vlously. '.'':'
Topeka got one In the first Baahang
walked and went to second on Nlehoffs
error. He went to third when Lee forced
Cochran at second, Schlpke to Justice,
and scored on a sacrifice fly by King.
The Rourkes came back with tour. With
two down, Thomason tripled. Johnson
landed safe on Cochran's error, while
,' Tommle scored. Kane singled, sending
Johnson to third. ' McDonald booted
' fichlpke's grounder, while Johnson scored
f and Kan went to third. Schlpke stole
" second and he and Kane scored on Nle
hoffs single to left. , ' -v.s
' Scanlon singled in the second and scored
on Thomason's double. Kane landed safe
In the third on Cochran's error. He stole
second and third and scored on an error
"by McDonald.
The Kaws got two In the third. Cochran
T singled and went to second on Lee's hit
.A double steal worked successfully. A
wild pitch scored Cochran and Lee went
"( to third and scored on Schlpke' error.
i Billings walked in the third and went
': to third on Nagle's single. Baahang
"singled, scoring Billings. A wild pitch
. by Hicks advanced both men and they
scored on Gear's triple. Gardner singled
J,n the seventh, went to third on McDon-
aid's single .and Gardner scored on
d Smith's safe hit
... In the seventh Kane singled and stole
second. Nlehoff walked and Bills was
. passed. Coyle slammed out a double,
.scoring Kane, Nlehoff and Bills. 8core:

the first . two games. Hollard got his
service working right after that and
steadily pulled up to set point winning,
6-4. .-.'.'. . ' , .
