Boone proved the winner in the mud
formed the infield into slippery tobog-
gan slide and the outtield into a lake.
Despite this the visitors had the best
of the fielding game, but their errors
were most costly, those of Taylor, in
the second. and Mackey, in the fourth,
being especially So The Grays also had
the best Of the stick work. but failure
TO bunch their hits lessened the score.
Powell opened the game with a base
on balls to Mackey, who trotted to sec
ond when Archer wasn't looking. The
next two men expired for cause, anu
House nailed the leather with his litue
tomahawk for two bases and Alackey
trotted home. Boone was retired IN
numerical order. The score was i To ~,
and Boone took long breath. A couple
of hits In the second gave the Grays
another run. and the fans took another
long breath.
In the last half of the second the
called stick artists from Marshalltown
look like jack rabbits with broken legs.
After Pennington had been retired by
Mackey's fast fielding to Mckenaie.
Holcomb found the little sphere for a
safe hit. Donovan repeated the dose
and Archer got to first by waiting for
four imperfect ones. Powell landed
fierce one over toward the tepee OF
TAYLOR. The Indian got his mitts on the
ball after splashing thru a lite poo,
of water but the cold shower BATH
scared him out of a grandstand catch.
and the ball bounded off into the tan

home another tally before the fun end

In the third Williams started with
hit. and an error put two men on bases.
House. who has a faculty of making
with the ball at the proper
moment, landed right merrily. Then a
comedy of errors, in which mud ana
water played an important part, start
ed the Crays to going around the dla-
mond like an endless chain. They bat
ted clear around and when Hurst few
out to right field, retiring the side, the
score was 6 to 3.
Marshalltown's half Of the fourth had

column. and Boone ordered an investi-
cation OF the books. 1t was Donnie"
McGuire's turn, and he made good with

clean one and Shafer went out at first.
Reynolds applied the eagle eye and

by Mackey allowed the slaughter to go

sack, Holcomb gave an exhibition of
winning ball. He hit hard, and 1t was

the vaudeville ended with a couple of
