In a remarkable game, in which
the superb fielding of the locals,
coupled with the fact that Cedar
Rapids couldn't hit Smith out OF the
diamond at critical periods, shut out
the visitors without a run. Oskaloo-
sa hitters yesterday slugged for eight
counting safeties, and scored six up
on them. Three OF the cores were
simply driven from station TO station

Benson, who singled, went to sec.
