Standing of the Clubs.

(Note: President Norton has ac-
knowledged In q letter to l.. 5. Peck
ham. his errors In the standing OF the
clubs as published In the T.-R.. ana
which were changed to agree with Mr.,
Norton's figures ten days ago. AT that
time the T.-R believed Norton's fig
ures were incorrect. but they were used
because they were official. AS again
corrected, FIT Dodge Is charged with
one more game lost and Marshalltown
has one lost game deducted from It's
percentage)
Doubtless thinking during day Off
wings had grown on their feet, the
locals took to their heels yesterday
and ran away from victory which
was headed In their direction. Twice
at least. due to this desire to sprint,
did they sidestep chances to down the
leaders, but they would take neither OF
them For eleven innings Ft. Dodge
and the Grays fought along at score
less pace. then the visitors got single.
and double punched in the same
round, the local support made break,
and the visitors lugged In the winning
run, and ran off with game which
should have STAYED at home but FOR
foolish base running.
Barring the home teams frenzled
performances on the paths no keener
struggle has been pulled off In these
parts in many moons. Both pitchers
were in the best of form, and both re-
ceiyed the fastest kind OF support.
Great is the power of the strike out, so
thinks Earnest Bantz Eleve' or the
locals he famed, which perhaps ac-
counts for the gleeful joy which filed
their souls when they did get on. and
which caused them to run bases like
lot OF amateurs. While having moth
ing so fancy in the way of strikeouts,
Disch was every bit as effective as
his opponent. No two hits did Ft.
Dodge get in the same round, until the
twelfth, and twice cheered on and up
held by his pals, he pulled himself out
of bad holes. Before the nine innings
were up the locals had tossed the game
away. They would have scored in the
fourth had not w. Disch tried to count
from first on two base wild throw.
Kruger might also have counted had
he not been speared off third, and
Schafer might have Tailed had he not
tried to come in from first on d1nky
single.
The visitors got as far as first IN
the first, fourth and seventh innings.
They reached second once and third
once, the latter in the ninth inning.
In that round with Bantz on first and
none gone, 1t looked as tho the visitors
were due to count. Curtis sacrificed
and Bantz was caught at third on Ma
honey's hit to Disch. The out put Ma
honey to second, and Disch's wild pitch
sent him to third. Redmond, however,
famed and the danger was over.
After w. Disch had tried to score in
the fourth on Durkee's wild throw,
and had been tagged at the plate, link
unlocked q two Dagger, while the
crowd imagined what would have hap
pened had Disch stopped at third.
After the visitors had taken their
single tally in the twelfth the locals
rose up and smote Mr.. Bantz collec-
lively. Ordinarily singles following
one after the other can result in moth
ing else than at least one tally. But
the locals couldn't count even with
that amount Of help. They wanted to
run bases. They did. w. Disch, first
up, went out Hoy hit, and attempt
ed to score from first on links single
to right. He was caught at home.
Shaub hit safe, and Williams biffed
single it being links turn to stretch
single into two base run. He did,
nit and was speared at the pan, just as
the others had been. No scores. The
