Next game at keokuk, May is.
For the second time in the history
Of the old Iowa league or the Central
Association Keokuk is perched on top
of the heap in the percentage table
and the teams chances OF remaining
days. The first time that the name OF
Keokuk had ever graced the headline
of the table was when Pat McAndrew
was manager of the team, but the
triumph lasted for but one day. Will
Keokuk's present triumph last for
more than twenty-four hours? That
is the question.
Keokuk won right to the present
position by defeating Ottu.-lwa yes
terday in the fourth game between
the two teams, the score being 3 to 2.
This is not only the fourth game play
ed between the two teams, but it is
the fourth game which has been won
lone score. The first game between
the two teams resulted in to l
score The next game ended to g..
The opening game at Ottumwa went
to Keokuk by score of 8 to 2 and
the game yesterday to i.
That Hughie Shannon has been
forced to take the count has been de-
cisively demonstrated to every fan.
Keokuk has delivered the telling
punch in manner that would drive
the little Packer manager back east,
but he fingers with the hopes of run
ming into something easy pretty soon.
1t certainly has been tough luck for
game, but the Keokuk pennant aspir-
ants simply cannot help it.
Prough Does Well.
Willie Prough, who got away badly
this year, was sent to the mound in
the game yesterday and delivered the
goods with extreme carefulness. He
let the Ottumwa sluggers down with
four hits, while Keokuk played al
most errorless ball. Plympton, who
was on the mound for the home team
was in great form and let the Indians
down with but three safeties, but
errors lost them the game.
Keokuk was BANKED without hit
during the first seven innings of the
game by Plympton, who held the In
dams to five hits in his first game
pitched against us. In the
eighth he weakened and three hits
and brace of errors netted Keokuk
two runs and won the game.
Ottumwa made run in the fifth
inning. Prough walked two men and
two singles sent two men across the
plate. In other than the fifth inning
Prough was invincible.
