| Five hundred spectators shivered
with the chilling winds for an hour and
a half at Finkle's park Wednesday af-
ternoon and witnessed what the bet
ly one-sided and disinteresting ball
game. Grinnell proved no match for
the professionals OF the American
League, and after the first few min
utes of play it became apparent that
the size of the score rested entirely
with the Chicago players. At the con-
clusion of the nine innings the total
was 10 to 2, in favor of Chicago. The
game failed to prove of sufficient in
terest to hold the entire audience until
it was over, many leaving before more
than half had been played.
The extremely cold weather for base
ball. may have had something TO do
with 1t, but as matter of fact the re-
suit would not have, been otherwise.
Chicago played an almost errorless
game, both of the two charged going
to Callahan on third. Grinneh was
especially prone to errors, especially at
critical times when they We're very
costly. Chicago started to get runs in
the first inning and secured three.
To these they added five in the second;
two in the third; three in the fourth:
two in the sixth and four in the eighth.
making total of 10. In the fifth, sew
enth and ninth innings they drew
blanks. Grinnell was only able to cross
the plate during the sixth inning, when
Benson and Wilder scored On an error
by Callahan and Swalm's safe nit to
right field. King, Swain and Fillmore
each took turn in the box for Grin
nell, and while Swain was landed on
for more safe hits than either of the
others, fewer scores We're made by
Comisky's men. King got one strike and
was hit safe twice; Swain, who pitch
ed four innings, also got one strike
out and was hit safe four times, While
Fillmore who filed the box curing the
last three innings, got two strike outs
and hit for safe just once. White.
who held the box for Chicago during
the first six innings got six strike outs
and was raped for three safe hits.
the last three innings, got five strike
outs and was hit safely but one time.
Among some of the features of the
game that proved of interest. and tend
ed to hold the crowd, were several bril-
liant plays by Callahan at third; Jones
in center field, and DAILY at second base.
White, in the box had a most decept-
i've slow ball that had the Grinnell team
at it's mercy. He was inclined to use
his head in the delivery of them in a
manner not accustomed to being seen
on the local diamond. For Grinnell.
Marsh behind the bat, played a hard
game, his throwing to second having
the proper snap to prove effective.
Gilchrist, the Marshalltown boy with

good game at third, altho he had sew

the league players, it must be taken

the first game of the season, and they
have not as yet been able to pull them
selves together in the team play they
