the visitors quickly discovered that they
could run down to second without fear
Of being caught, for Schaub could not get
the ball anywhere near that base. Their
five steals were all of Schaub, and the
"bleachers'' grew derisive over the ease
with which the operation was accom-
plished and urged the iowa braves who
reached first to ''go on down now; it's dead
easy" With Westlake it was different.
The only man to try it on him was Jones,
in the third inning, and he was nailed so
easily that the "bleachers' grew e~cstatic,
and there were no further attempts in that
direction by the visitors. Westlake's APP
pearance behind the bat not only steadied

Nearly all the Sioux City runs were Sc
cured in the first two innings. Hogrieyer,
their first man at bat, was sent to base on
balls. He stole second on Schaub without
an effort. Mari struck out but Genins's
single to left brought in the run Genins
started for second and Schaub threw the
ball into center field so far that he came
around home without any trouble. Newell
hit safe to center, and he also ran down TO
second without any interference. Stewart
sacrificed, and Camps single to right scored
the third run. McCauley hit for a single,
ending the inning. The second was even
worse than the first, though the number
Of runs scored was just the same. Jones

Hogrieyer struck out and MARI flew to
Motz. Genins hit safe TO left, scoring
Jones. Then Newell struck out, but Schaub
let the third strike get away, and, picking
up the ball, tried to throw the man out
about the time he reached the base. The
ball struck him in the back and bounded
away, Genins scoring. Newell then stole
the previous steals of that base. Stewart
hit a hot one, which Gray fumbled, and
Newell scored on the error. having pre-

Howls for Westlake were heard on all
sides and he came to the rescue, Schaub

earned run, in the third. Cross struck out
