biffed for two sacks and Mack scored.
Kensel hit for three and Coates
scored. Benson lived on Daley's fail
ure to hold his high fly. He pilfered
a base and next crossed the plate
when Patterson lined out two-sacker
where no one was. Moody tried hard
for a three-sacker but John House, the
Indian lad, was there. Two outs.
Then came Painter with a mighty one
for three more bases and Pat" came
home. Mite, the only man on the
home team who didn't get a safe one
during the game, went clt and Painter
died.
Then in the seventh. Painter HIT,
safe for two bags. Mite sacrificed
him on another and he was safe at
the plate with Chase's effort. McClel-
Ian singled again, Coates did too, and
stole second. Kensel was next up and
got his second three-bagger and clean
ed the bases, but he died there with
Benson's long drive to Neighbors in
deep center. That was all. That was
enough. Burlington had no chance to
do anything. No hunts, no sacrifices,
no steals, just nothing every inning.
Only one man, John House, sullied the
third base by his presence. He died.
In FIVE of the nine innings only three
men stepped TO the bat. Five were up
once and four up in three innings.
Made It Six Shut Outs.
Oskaloosa broke her own record
Saturday afternoon, wounded the
feelings of all Burlington and dragged
the pride of the Pathfnders in the
dust by administering another shut
out defeat. The game was not nearly
so busy as was that of the preceding
day because it was most always three
up and three down for Burlington.
Demon" Shaw was at work for the
locals and three singles were all
Eagan's lads landed safe. Anything
that went high was out. When it is
recalled that Shaw struck out only
two batters, that Painter himself
made fifteen put outs and that the
Quaker outfield accepted six chances,
it will be seen that the Pathfnders
were locating the little fellows balls
but not safely. Kensel and Benson
were marvels of activity and only a
couple of times did they let the pos
sibility of anything get past them.
Benson made throws that seemed i'm
possible, single-handed pick-ups, right
and left, and the pulling down of a
foul from the fence east of his sta
ton were feats that marked his ca
reer for the day. Kensel brought the
widest enthusiasm from the crowd
by a remarkable running dive to the
side and spearing single-handed with
his left a red hot liner driven from
Killian's bat. No one thought the
doughty little short stop could get
within city block of the ball when he
started for it, but he took dive
through the air, shot out his NIT, not
a hairs breadth Of a second too soon,
and therein the ball stuck. Moody
and John House out in right field
made some long runs and robbed bats
men of several bases.
Painter made the first score for the
home team with, home run pounded
over the fence at the dividing line be-
tween left and center. That was the
only run earned by the Quakers. In
the same inning Chase singled, went
to second on McClellan's single, took
third on a passed Oall when hensel
was at bat and came across the plate
when Mcclellan coaxed the ball after
himself on a bluff .or second. He jol-
lied back and forth until Chase was
in with the run.
Looked like a circus again in the
ninth with hits by Kensel and Patter-
son, walk to Moody and Mite and
life by fielder's choice. The ielders
caught Kensel at the plate, but Patter-
son was forced in on the seconu pass.
And so 1t was.
Killian was speedy, but the boys
found him for good hard hits. The
visitors got but one good clean hit
off Shaw and that by House. Posi-
bly, two others were hits, but there
might be question as to them. 1t was
favor on the part of the batter to so
call them.
The Score.
