BARNSTORMERS WIN RUBBER GAME, 7-1
Perritt Pitches a Beauty

WICHITA--Roy Hitt's All-Americans played the final game of their visit to our city yesterday before a large, enthusiastic crowd of rooters, and defeated the crack local semiprofessional Wranglers, 7-1.

St. Louis Cardinals star Pol Perritt was on the mound for the barnstormers, and his speed and curves kept the hometown batsmen off balance all afternoon. The Wranglers managed only one run and three hits off Perritt, who walked nobody and struck out eight men in the eight innings he pitched. Hitt pitched the ninth inning for his team, and allowed a double to Josh Strader, the only extra-base blow struck by the semipros.

The batting star for the All-Americans was once again shortstop Charlie Hollocher, who knocked in six runs during the three-game series. Ty Cobb's bat showed some signs of life as well, as he smacked a single and a triple, scoring two runs and driving in two more.

The All-Americans left on this morning's train to Denver, where they will begin a series of games tomorrow.

*****
For the series in Kansas, Pat went 4-10, with a pair of doubles. He scored four runs and drove in one. Pat drew three walks, struck out twice, stole a base, and made an error on a ground ball.
