The Morning Victory.

Oskaloosa won out in the morning
in game of one hour and twenty-five
minutes length oskaloosa got more
hits than did the visitors and earned
the victory. Hobbs was in the box
for the locals and pitched a splendid
game. Hobbs demonstrated that he
could throw good ball and he had a
splendid control. 1t was an errorless
game. A couple of chances to fielders
that were narrowly missed on account
Of long runs made to get them enti-
tied the batters to hits. Everything
else was Clearly fielded and perfect
play was seen in all parts Of the dia-
mond The game contained plenty OF
features. Slear knocked long fly
to extreme right and made home
run on the effort. The ball went over
the fielder and struck the bottom OF
the fence in such way as to go
through a hole, and the batter made
the circuit Slear also distinguished
himself by making one of the pretti-
est catches of fly seen on the local
diamond this season. He made a
long run for the ball and it seemed
that he would be too late. AS the ball
was about down the plucky left fielder
made a dive for the ball and got it
with one hand. He was roundly APP
plauded. Bradshaw's three-base hit
in the sixth was another star play that
excited the natives.
The game was one Of the few that
Oskaloosa has taken from Keokuk.
The locals had to work hard but they
out-played the visitors. The visitors
contributed their share of the sensa-
tions of the game by series of out
field catches. Right Fielder Charner.

oskaloosa has been hitting better
during this last winning streak Of
our. Several Of the players have fat
tened their batting averages.
Bradshaw. was not slow in the
morning game. He batted $50 per
cent and made a run. Patterson's hit
scoring Bradshaw was most timely.
That was a splendid catch Cassi-
bone made with one hand of Hackett's
nigh liner in re sixth inning Of the
afternoon game. 1t was nicely done.
That was splendid double our
boys did in the morning. Hobbs to
Cassibone to Donahue. 1t put a
mighty sudden stop to things for that
inning.
Umpire Burrell, who by the way
oficiated in splendid way, became
sick at the end of the fifth inning and
had to retire. Pitcher Hobbs was
substituted.
Slear almost made a score in the
second, but the jumps" said it was
out Hackett was on the line and
Slear could neither run around him
nor jump over.
Jack Henry was as lively behind
the bat as ever. There is a boy who
as back stop has them all bested.
We were mighty fortunate in getting
him for the time we did.
Slear's home run was of kind that
has no precedent on the home grounds
this year. The ball did not go over
the fence, but it went through a
knot hole, which was just as good.
Bussey Press: Charles Speckine,
VINO played with the Oskaloosa league
team early in the season, is one of our
boys now, pitching his first game here
last Sunday morning, holding the Wis
itors down to three safe hits.
We don't like TO rub it in exactly,
but Burlington has been so darned
mean about it. The Hawk-Eey trou-
bled itself to send out special reports
Sunday stating that Oskaloosa never
had been ahead Of Burlington.
According to the Gate-City, the Keo-
lluk base ball club didn't win the pen
nant, but IL afforded the community
lots of exercise guessing on each indi-
yidual game whether it would climb
up one notch or slide back three.
Cord natured fatty Hackett looked
quite fierce yesterday He almost
scared his bunch of local admirers.
He had the bases filled in the eighth
and it looked as if there was chance
to turn the score, but he famed the

two.

julius Dresser, a man unknown in
Oskaloosa, lies dead at the Chas. Foeh-
linger undertaking establishment, the
result of an overdose of morphine or
laudanum.
The man was found in an uncon-
scious condition near the old Acme
coal mine last evening, officers were
notified and the man was taken to
the jail hospital where every restora-
tive known was applied but to no pur-
pose. The drug had done its work and
the man was past human assistance.
He died few minutes after two o.
clock this morning and was taken to
the undertaking establishment. 1t is
not likely that an inquest will be had.
The man was found by William
Wilson who was walking up from Bea-
on along the Iowa Central right of
ties his attention was attracted by a
peculiar noise like that of an animal
or man in distress and breathing hard.
He went to the scene and was startled
to find man half hid under the pile
of wood. Wilson concluded the man
was drunk, but thought the poor fell
low should have attention and going
to the nearest telephone called city
police. Inc officers answered the
summons at once and found the man
perfectly helpless. Believing him under
the influence of liquor it was some
time before the police called for med.
ical assistance. When DR.. Windell
arrived ne noticed the gravity of the
case at once and asked for assistance
DR.. Terrell was secured.
The dead man is possibly thirty
five years old. He has powerful
frame, light brown hair, sandy mus,

that he had not been home for five

Mr.. G. S. Heard made a remarkable

SAVANNAH GOLFERS OUTPLAYED
TEAM FROM CHARLESTON
High Winds Seriously Interfered With Playing
of Both Teams

In the annual golf contest between
Savannah and Charleston, the Forest
City golfers came off victorious again
yesterday afternoon defeating the Wis
iting team by a score of 16 up on the
links of the Savannah Golf Club.
From start to finish, the contest
was exciting, despite the fact that the
prevailing high winds interfered Sc
riously with the play and balls would
not fly true, nor far when played
against the wind. The score, no doubt,
would have been much lower on both
sides had it not been for the high
wind. Breaking plays were so serious
ly interfered with. that they were
spoiled.
For the Savannah team, J. D. Tay-
lor was the only man who was not
successful in beating his opponent. Mr..
Taylor plays, ordinarily. possibly The
strongest game on the Savannah team,
but was not up to form. The score
of the two teams was as follows:
