ond drubbing OF the series. and the
Indians found him easy when hits
were needed. He was touched up tor
eight In all. two more than obtained
in the first game of the series, and
two of them were for two bases and
third was for three bases.
Although Keokuk made two
errors and Ottumwa one, 1t
may be said that the field
Ing In many instances was SEN
sational. Annis played his best game
OF the season and on three successive
occasions robbed Ottumwa Of hits. In
the ninth inning, Bill displayed ex-
ceptional speed In shooting the ball
to first and he gathered the sphere in
with one hand on one difficult chance.
Russell, the little left fielder for
Ottumwa. also pulled down several
hard drives. one being q running
jump catch Of Landry's line drive and
the other q sensational catch OF MIL
ler's terrific clout in the first inning.
Fast Double Play.
The best double play OF the season
was pulled of by Ottumwa in the fifth
inning with Wilson ON first and Burch
at the bat. The ball was hit to short,
the stop being difficult one to the
left. Reeve gathered in the the ball
and threw to second and Brand COM
pleted the play at first, Hoey catching
the ball with one hand an instant be-
fore Burch crossed the sack.
Hildebrand also figured in the SEN
sational fielding work and his running
catch In the first inning Of long fly
by Wise was feature.
Keokuk had everything their own
way during the game and played ball
that would do justice to the Chicago
Cubs. In the very first inning, as In
the games of the past week, Keokuk
started things and pushed man
across the rubber aided by Big Ed
Reichle who sent out three safe ones
during the game. Grodnick went out,
third to first, and Annis clouted the
ball to left for a single. He went to
second when Corriden hit to Eastman
on the hit and run play and came
| home when Reichle's hot one carrom
ed or Reeve and went for a hit. The
ball bounded far enough away to al
low Annis to scoot home.
HIldebrand Grabbed Long One.
j In Ottumwa's nalf Russell struck
out and Mclaughlin got a life on an
error by Grodnick. Senno struck out
and Hildebrand pulled down Wise's
long fly to right.
In the second Ottumwa got mar
around to third, but that was all
Reeve started things with neat sin
gle to center and was sacrificed b.
Brand. Hoey hit to Corridor and wa
thrown out. Reeve going to third
Link hit an easy one to Grodnick ant
the side was retired.
J Ottumwa did not get another man t,
. first on single until the seventh
; when Brand singled with two mel
, down. In the ninth Wise singled wit
, two down, but Reeve flew out to Ar
mis-. Ottumwa could have no lucl
} whatever with Southpaw Burch an
, and there was little activity excep
on Keokuk's part.
