QUICK AND MAUPIN EACH
PITCH EIGHTEEN INNINGS.

Winning two games with one pitch
er against q good ball club and a bad
umpire is something to gloat over.
ComirS, rs it did. the same day the
Reiia 5e put it over the Shamrock. it
is small wonder that there was un-
bounded good feeling abroad in Zion
last night. The glorious achievement
OF the Elders in wrenching those two
games from the reluctant clutches Of
the Siwashes makes the two clubs even
on the series AID the double-header to
come up this afternoon should prove
a rare scramble
The first game was only supposed TO
last nine innings. but it wandered along
until twelve fun innings had happened
10 was six 20 seven i'm favor of the Ed
ers when the last half began. With

the occasion 20 get busy and called that
safe. Then brennan dumped one

until the twelfth, when the Siwashes
got foolish streak. With two Elders

Cook get through him. Anderson

lowed with a nice single and Donahue
hit for two bases after that, but no
more runs came in and as il devel-
oped no more were needed.
Second Game Lasted Six Innings.
The second game, advertised as a
hve-inning contest, ran through six on
account of ue-up, making eighteen
innings of ball for the afternoon The
first run came in the fourth and our
lads got IT, Weed getting a life as
Davis was forced out, taking third on

not revived again. Rabbit drove out

slide for the cushion and rolled off

Stanley scored this run with q nice
single, but even at that the game could
not be taken away from our busy lit

but the Siwashes proved easy in their
half Of the sixth and the second game
was also ours.
Eddie Quick Shows His Mettle.
Eddie Quick again proved his mettle
against adverse circumstances. In the
early part OF the first game ne had
some mighty weird support al times,
but he never faltered even in the sec
ond game four and half innings
after receiving a solar plexus punch
that would have made a player with
the slightest symptom of saffron in
his makeup drop out of the game for
a week. But Eddie showed that ne
had the never-liCked habit in plenty
and plugged right along for his second
victory OF the day
Il was in the second inning that
Spencer drove one like a flash of light
straight at the pitcher. Quick did not
attempt to dodge it-probably could
not have got away had he tried as
the ball struck him with terrific speed.

and doubled him up. He grabbed it
