day crowd home in depressed frame
of mind. The Quakers captured both
games, 6 to z. and to 0. Nothing
quite so terrible has happened since
that long string of straight beatings
during the July series, and the man
ner of the losing was something weird,
fantastic, and unprecedented.
The blowing up Of the locals in the
first game gave the visitors such cour-
age that they went to the home outfit
and BANKED them easy. Everything
went wrong yesterday Neither one OF
the local twirlers, T. Greene, who per-
formed first, and Coons, who threw tn,
second, pitched anything but an ord-
nary game. Greene was erratic and
brilliant by spasms, but at that he
would have won his game had not his
support gone into the air in truly in
glorious finish Despite the many hits
Oskaloosa belted him for. had his team
stood up behind him. they would ha
counted for naught, and the game
would still have been won. Coons
pitched fairly good game. but w
Jams bad throw in the eighth, and his
own two errors in the ninth, beat him
out.
Shaw essayed to pitch both games
for Oskaloosa altho during the first
innings Of the opener the locals got
enough hits punched to have won from
him. In the second failure to bif the
ball in the early innings, when runners
were on, lost an opening in which the
game might have been cinched. Both
Brown and Kayler failed to deliver q
hit when the bases were full In the op-
ening round. After the third inning
the, locals really never had a chance to
score until the ninth, when Kayler
landed on drive to right for three
bases. The snap was all gone out of
the Grays during the second session,
due doubtless to the manner in which
they had tossed away the opening bat
tie.
The Grays took a big lead in the
opening inning of the first game. Will

dleton's single netted another tally in
the fourth, which totaled the six. Pat
terson's double and Perry's single gave
the visitors one more in the fifth, and
the score stood 6 to 8.
The real blowing up, however, which
had been delayed, occurred in the
eighth. Cassiboine, first up, went out,
then Kayler dropped Perry's fly. Moody
drove to right, Warner misjudging the
hit, while Perry tore for home. The
ball was returned to Kruger, just as
Moody rounded the third base corner.
He threw wild home, the ball going

in the same round, but the side was
closed out with the bases full. Greene
opened the ninth by betting Steele in
