HOSp'S BenderS Puzzle
Longs Squad
An0eI Pitcher Holds the Seals
Down to Three UnaVaii-
ing BaSehitS

II was Mr.. Hosp who put the check
upon the onward strides of the Seals
Yesterday at Recreation park, for the
locals were bewiIdered in their efforts
TO connect safely with his offerings.
The southern chap was generous WIN
passes. giving four free tickets TO the
frst station, and his teammates al
lowed Longs men to get on bases, but
when il came TO giving hits, Hosp was
as liberal as a tight promoter with Tree
masses Three hits were all the Seals
could obtain of his delivery
Long introduced the fans TO l.. Ber-
ger late OF Ottumwa, Ia, or the Cen
tral association, who took the mound.
His first appearance as a Wlnger was
anything but auspicious. for the treat
ment which he received at the hands
of the Angels must have made him
sick. as il certainly did those who VII
messed the slaughter.
After the first man UP IN the thlrd
inning had driven a clean single
through center field, Cap Mohler called
for achievements and Slivers Henley
went in TO stop the attack In this
five hits. one of which Ellis drove
over the right field fence for circuit
Of the bases.
Berger may 90 better the next time,
after a few workouts, but his work
Yesterday failed to impress any one.
His offerings seemed to become larger
after they left his hand and by the
time they reached the plate they look
like a lot of pumpkins TO the southern
aggregation.
HENLEY'S WING WORKS WELL
Henley. who succeeded Berger,
pitched a nice game, and but for the
fourth inning, when two hits and a
run were scored OF his delivery, his
twirling was Of the shutout order
There was a grand chance for one of
the Seals TO become a hero In the ninth,
but the chance was passed up. With
the bases nlled in their half the
faithful who witnessed the ARRAY held
thing might occur, but Henley signed
his own death warrant and brought
tears TO the eyes of the fans when he
drove grOunder which was easily
felded by Delmas. and in turn thrown
10 fist, bringing the hostilities to an
end.
Another opportunity to score was
missed in the sixth when the Seals,
through their inability TO solve Hosp's
mystifying loaters brought about no
results. An error and a base on balls
put Mohler and Hildebrand on the first
two stations. but they lodged there
because no assistance was rendered
Dillon had fire in his eyes and he
called his warriors forth at the outset
and reminded them of the awful re-
verses they met in the previous two
skirmishes and that the only way to
redeem themselves was TO take Mr..
HOsp's scalp. He did not order them
TO do IL inside of three charges, but
that is what they did.
HAWKEYE SLABSTER HAMMERED
The crowd felt sorry for the Ottum-
wa slabsIer. as they fOresaW dire re-
suits. After the Angels let him of
easily in the first inning with one hit
and no runs, Ellis, the first southerner
up in the next frame, took some of the
heart out of the visitor by slapping
one of his straight ones outside the lot.
The ball took a course toward the right
field and hit the top OF the fence and
bounced through an open window OF
Mrs. McNally's fat. Delmas had no
sympathy for the newcomer and
slapped out a single. He went TO sec
Ond when Easterly sacrificed. HOSP
walked and the two men on bases
worked a double steal Bernard sent
Delmas home with a single.
Long thought he would take one
more chance with his new man and
sent him out again in the third TO
face the foe Early bombardment
caused his retirement and Henley went
10 the front.
The third and final run came in the
fourth. through some good clean hit
ting. Easterly hit for two bases and
went to third on a sacrifice. He scored
later on Bernard's single and the lat
ter was tagged out while trying 10
stretch IT into a double. The remain
der of the game developed into q
pitchers battle, with Hosp having the
better of il. The score:
