rotten and right down rank decisions
on the part of Umpire Horn in the
last half of the ninth inning yester-
day gave Keokuk the first game of
the series by score of l to 0. The
game was stiff fight all the way
through and both clubs had the life
and pepper that make a genuine
game interesting.
Manager Forney sent Swain to the
mound in the first inning, but he was
not himself and in the third, after the
visitors had secured five hits off his
delivery, he was relieved by Vysko-
Gil, who finished the game and allow
ed just four hits. Hassen, new man
to the Hannibal fans, was on the Job
for Keokuk and certainly pitched a
pretty game of ball. The Cans got just
three safe blows off his delivery and
none of those came in tight places.
Both the Indians and the Cannibals
ffelded great game, Hannibal giving
the local Fingers, errorless support,
while Pennington, of Keokuk, had
one wild throw marked up against
him, that being the only error in the
game.
Two or three times Hannibal had
men on the bases, but the necessary
hits that meant runs were not forth
coming and the Cans were unable to
push a man over the plate. Vyskocil
had better control than the Indian
twirler and did not allow a base on
balls, while Hassen let three of the
Cans take a free ride to the initial
sack. Cadigan caught a beautiful
game, his pegging was perfect and
