Sketch OF the Team and Its
Seasons Victories e. Only
One Defeat.

The season of the Marshalltown higi
school base ball team was brought
to an end in blaze of glory, Mem
orial day afternoon when, on the loea
diamond, the high standard of the
team was maintained against equal
odds and the Little Tigers of the
East Waterloo high school went down
in defeat by score of to 0.
The game was well played thruoui
! by the men of both sides. In most
ways the teams We're equally matched
Marshalltown had an advantage in q
superior infield, but the batteries Were
equal. Without putting on any frills
| it can be said truthfully that there was
never an amateur game of more merit
since the boyhood days of Ada An
son. spent in Marshalltown, when this
| city was the big ball town of Iowa.
The game was witnessed by between
zoo and 500 ardent enthusiasts, in
Guiding practically all of the student
body of the high school. All of the
available seating space in the new
amphitheater was used by the crowd
and about the diamond thronged a
cheering mass of people. A cleaner,
prettier game could not have been de-
sired and a universal verdict of many
of the older fans was that there had
been many a league game that wasn't
half so good.
In the first five innings of the game
neither side scored and it began to
look as il it meant the staying powe
of the men in the box, or errors on
one side or the other. Myers, of Water
loo, who had thrown an exceptionally
swift ball during the earlier part of
the game, had the locals guessing, and
not one hit had been secured. o.
the other hand Kent, the clever little
fellow in the Marshalltown box, was
maintaining his high average, but the
visitors We're getting an occasional hit,
only to see it avail nothing. In the
first half the tide began to turn and.
Kent got to first on what might have
possibly been safe hit with a little
room for doubt. a wild throw to first
allowed the Marshalltown pitcher to
reach second. Seig came to bat and
tipped up a little one to Myers, who
threw to second in the hopes of heading
Kent. The throw was a tride wild
and Kent reached third. Myers made al
wild throw, the ball passing Law and
allowing Kent in. Kirk went out on
strikes and Stepan hit out to Myers.
Waterloo went out in one, two, three
