landers batting like fiends and playing
midseason ball, proved too much for
the visitors from Ottumwa and the
final score was SO one sided that 1t

runs. while OttumWa failed to have
4 before the 2. The hitting was almost
cleaning up Is hits, three of which
were for three sacks, while the visitors
found Lakaff for safe ones only six
times. The Ottumwa team was vir-
tually outclassed in every department.

no show at all. The two runs when
they did get came in separate innings
and they We're fortunate both times in
forcing Il man over the plate. In the
second inning, Senno banged out a
long drive which twisted around and
got past Mcbride who failed to allow

nearly to the fence and allowed SennO

decided it was time for him to stop.

squeeze play brought Senno over the
pan with the first score of the game.
Islanders Come Back Strong.

lhelped matters along somewhat. Five
scores were credited to the home team
when the smoke finally cleared away.
The hitters in this round were Nc
Bride, Berger, Vogel and Lakaff.
