the Des Moines aggregation which
was here. yesterday afternoon and at
the same time his team mates lid not
find it very hard to pile up runs
enough TO win half dozen such
games. The final score was 9 to 1 and
the lone tally which Des Moines man
aged to get was due to a misjudgcd
fly and a passed ball. 1t happened in
the very first inning while the game
was still go young that the players
had failed TO get down to business.
Chouinard tbet you can't say it, who.

slammed out long fy which Mcbride
on most any other occasion. would
have captured. This time, however
he miSjudged it and did not get back
in time TO get under it and the result
was two sacker for the man with the
unpronounceable cognomen. Lakaif
struck out the next man and caused
the third man to roll one down 10

Chouinard went to third on this play
but seemed fated to die there when
Annis poked nothing but the atmos-
phere on two separate and distinct Oc-
casions. Then came the bungle.
Jacobsen became little anxious and
let one slip through him and in came
the score. This was the last, how
ever, as the visitors never even came
close to getting another tally.
Lose No Time.
The Islanders started in at the tap
of the gong in their half of the initial
inning to get the score back and they
more than succeeded. With two men
gone, Kelley poled a hit over second
base that no one could come close to
getting, and he went to second when
the center fielder did comical Jug
Cling act 1t looked mighty much as
though the fielder fumbled the ball
just little in order to get Kelley to
try for the bag and then throw him
out, but Kelley was too fast for him
and by the time he had the ball safely
in his throwing nit our first sacker
was perched on second waiting to go TO
third. He went further than that when
Mcbride came .up with his heavy clout-
ing stick and walloped one that landed
far behind the left fielder Mac was
on third when the sphere was finally
corralled and thrown back into the
lot. With two men gone, Des Moines
was expecting Vogel, who was up, ~
hit the ball in the nose if he was able
and his bunt took them by surprise
The third basemau was so ratified that
when he hurried in and fielded the
ball, he threw it nearly into the
blcechers in trying to get it to first in
time to head off our little Otto who
was making the ground burn under
him. Mcbride scored on the error
and the run getting ended for that
round, as Berger knocked weak one
to the pitcher after Vogel had managed
to pilfcr the second sack.
In the second inning no runs were
added, although Lakaff pOled a twC
sacker after two men were out. II
the third three hits. one Of which wa.
two Sacker, Melted another run
Murphy pOked one over third base ant
Kelley followed with one between
short and third where no one was sta
toned. The two then attempted 4;
double steal but Frank was nipped a
third by a narrow margin which lei
Kelley on second. Mcbride wa
ashamed of himself because ;f the Ion,
triple he had secured the time before
so just to show that he was a goot
fellow, he famed out. Vogel was no
so kind hearted, however, and his twt
sacker in right field chased Kelle
over the pan.
Rest for Two Periods.
For two whole innings. then, tn
carnage stopped and the fans begal
to believe that the end was in sigh
