of the conflict the natives looked very

Galesburg corps of surgeons and when
none other than Hank SEVERED struck

Charles Jaeger kept the visitors in

when their temperature rose to los
and their delirious actions made them
run wild on bases and with the club.
Jaeger and his aides endeayored hard
to stop the feverish work of the in
vaders, but before they were success
full three galloping Galesburgers had
escaped from the sacks and raced
home. These three marks were the
only ones registered in the game and
Trained Nurse Ned had to acknowl-
edge that the Frantic Tanning was q
most cruel physician. Tanning was
the chief surgeon in the operating
room and he handles his subjects just
about the way he liked. He first took
notion to put the demon SEVERED on
the operating table, and after slashing
him down in the first inning on three
cruel jabs, he continued this unusual
performance every time Sure-shot Sew

single, thanked on both sides by whiffs

chances to remain on top of the c. A.
pile most unlikely, and when we came

ottumwa's Chances Slim.
With Tanning working like Christy
Mathewson right from the tap of the
gong, the 421 fanatics held out little
hopes for another juicy win, but not
until SEVERED succumbed in the ninth
did the most loyal ones give up. OF
tumwa had near chances to score in
four innings. With one down in the
fifth, Senno doubled, but was nipped
at third minute later when Egan sig
nailed him to steal. After Borton died
in the sixth, Wrigley bingled single
and was sacrificed to second by Jae-
ger, but Kensel skied out to Sensen-
back. Russell opened the seventh with
a beauty double to right and went to
third when Johnston put Blausser and
Lotshaw to work. Severeid's death
was sandwiched in ahead of John
ston's, and Senno failed to connect
with Fanning's foolers. Kent batted
for Jaeger in the ninth, but Kommers
got his fly. Kensel doubled, but Kom-
mers and Tanning were equal to the
offerings of Russell and Severed.
Galesburg Had Luck.
An element of luck was noticeable
in Galesburgs score making. Nickel
opened the seventh with single to
left. and Kommers came up to sacri-
flee. His bunt raised just over Oaks
head and went for clean single. Kill
patrick. bad cess to him, dumped the
ball down the third base line, and
Oaks got his meat hand on it just as
the Irish enemy planted his hoofs on
first. Blausser's sacrifice fly to John
ston permitted Nickel to score.
Brands vicious clout to Oaks was deft-
ly passed to SEVERED ahead of Kom-
mers. and Shea was walked intention
ally, the home folks figuring on Fan
ming being an easy out. The luck was
with the Galesburg HEAVIER, however,
and mis- single to center was enough
for Fitzpatrick and Brand to score on.
Sensenbacks out to Russell ended the
session. Blausser doubled in the ninth
but his mates could do nothing with
Jaeger.
