The Stars and Iowa Citys both had two
men left on bases.
One of the features of the game was
the fine pitching of Hawkins and the
catching of Sage, which battery proved to
be puzzler for the Iowa Citys, who
claimed tina: they were going to shut the
boys out and pound the cover off the bali
But Hawkins was a conundrum to them,
and struck out nine men, some of whom
were their heavy hitters; and they failed
to make more than five base hits against
him. The Iowa Citys are all heavy men,
and out-class our nine for size. but the
boys out-batted them yesterday, and il
was un questionably accounted for by the
fine work done by Hawkins with his
curves and tRisttrs.
