lock jaw, could not hit the soutnpaW
Schopp yesterday in the windup OF the
Ottumwa series, while Kennedy's au-
dacious fellows biffed Mr.. T. Greene
spitefully as one man, in the ninth, and
an error allowed one redleg to pass
home in the fifth. Score 4 to o, and
the series straight with two fine white
Washings for the other side. Bad, very
bad. Today Frisbee's' band from the
home Of the president drop into town
for their last whirl at the locals, and
there should be some scandalous ball
playing with two tailenders In the
Grays' back lot during the next three
days. Coons will be up for the local
band today.
Williams errors are b9coming cpl
demic and disastrous, and II the local
crowd ever gets thru a game without
making an error it is pretty reasonably
sure to win. Recent games have
evolved the theory that every time the
locals fall down In their fielding, the
visiting bunch goes to hitting, and
irags the game away with 1T by SO do
ing. Yesterday not a misplay marred
the occasion until Williams booted
Spencer's grounder in the fifth. Then
two singles followed, and the first
tally came home. UP to that time
Kennedy's men had landed just one
dinky hit. Two more hits they got
from the fifth to the ninth. Then the
tension got the better of the local
twirler. He let down, and Ottumwa
swamped him with five singles, result
ant of trio of tallies.
But the one Of the fifth was enough,
for Schopp had the local crew in dis
tress at all times, and had them on
the run from the gateway to the close.
He downed them with the same APP
parent ease that he has formerly best
ed them numerous other times. He
was steady and effective, and the To-
Gals really had but one chance to
count. Hoy, when the bases were
loaded in the third, might have made
good, but he batted into an easy
double, which speared Middleton at
the plate and nipped himself at first.
He had another faint chance to tally
Williams in the eighth, but his pecu-
liarity of not making good when
hit fs needed retired the side and
closed the route home for the Grays.
The locals had no other chances and
went doing along until time was call
ed at the finish.
UP to the fifth the visitors had been
on but once, and Greene's keen pitch

down on Spencer's hit. which opened
the fifth. Flake sacrificed. Corbett
fouled out to Bruggeman, and while
he, Brown and Middleton were trying
to spear Spencer between first and sec
ond, Spencer stole to the second sack.
He counted on Schopp's drive to left.
Everett smashed single, but House
went out at first. One tally. Although
third was reached by the visitors in
the sixth, Spencer's out closed the side
away, and there was nothing doing
until the bombardment of the ninth

Greene threw wild to first in attempt
ing to nip him off the sack, and he
went to second. Spencer hit, Gagnier
counting. Flake hit to Kruger, who
foiled Spencer at second. Corbett
smote a single to right, advancing
Plake. Schopp famed. Everett de-
livered his hit, Flake coming home.
House belted a single, and Corbett
tailed. Kennedy flew to Parkin, and
the side was out. Three tallies, total
of four. The locals could do nothing
in their half, although Brown led off
with single.
