Oskaloosa, Sept. 22-As special at
traction for the county fair at New
Sharon yesterday afternoon the hrst
game of the last series with Mar
shalltown was transferred to that
place, and 5000 people witnessed the
game and cheered their favortes on to
extra efforts. The diamond upon which
the sides contested was in most i'm
perfect condition and was to blame
for much of the poor play on both
sides. The diamond was created for
the occasion and was little better than
loose dirt leveled with scrapers.
Oskaloosa, however, earned her vic
tory by landing hard on Slapnicka for
long hits and lots of them. But for
little bobble in the eighth MARSHALL
town would have been treated to
feast of goose eggs, when the unex-
pected happened, and before it was
over two men had crossed the pan.
Oskalocsa opened up in nice way
in the first kensel got a single, Ben
son sacrificed. Patterson singled and
Kensel scored. First thing up in the
third, Patterson hit double. Moody
sent him to third on neat sacrifice.
Painter hit single and scored Pat"
Mite hit out a double that brought
Painter nome. Again in the fourth
inning, Kensel following Booths out,
made a great hole in the atmosphere
that reached from the batters box
out over the right field. The ball was
SO hard hit that the little shortstop
was over the home plate before it was
recovered. Benson next man up treat
ed Slapnicka in the same manner.
Benny" stopped at third for recrea-
ton and rest. The wait was not long.
Moody damned one that could not be
stopped in time to prevent Benson's
safe arrival at the plate.
Harris, for Marshalltown, first up
in the eighth, lived at second by vir-
tue of bobble in the out field. Will
Jams hi. safe and Harris stole third.
With the next two men making outs,
Corkill stepped into single, and scor-
ed Harris. Kruger, getting another,
scored Williams. The score in detail:
