Terminal Team Proved Easy Picking for the Local Boys. The Kansas City Terminal team, the champions of the Union Depot league, of Kansas City, were badly defeated by the home team Sunday. The score. was: Butler, 10; K. C., 2; and they shouldn’t have had the twa. They came heralded as one of the fast- est teams in the city. They have won 10 games and lost one so far this year. But they got up against the real thing when they came to Butler. Hupp _ pitched and never was in danger at any stage of the game, only two hits being made off him. The big feature of the game was the field- ing of Williams for Butler. started the first inning by mak- ing two bad errors and then pro- ceeded to redeem himself by play- ing the fastest game at short ever seen in this city. He got them anywhere and his peggig to first was perfect. Craig had charge of the team on the field and his old -|head was invaluable to the boys. The only had feature of the game was the light attendance, Butler has the fastest team in its history and has games matched with some of the fastest teams in this part of the country, several from Kan- sas City, but it costs money to inaintain a team of that kind and if the attendance 4s not better the management will have to give it up.
