AND COOLEYSOX WON.
Stupid Base Running by Visitors
Helped.

Out of the cellar at last, thank you.
and not only out, but in on the third
round this morning.
That is not so bad. The mine is
cold gloomy place after all. Good
by st. Joe and Des Moines. We're
sorry for you, but some one has to be
it and it might as well be one of you.
It's another shut out for the flying
Witches with the Cooleysox five up.
Joy reigns supreme in the Cooley camp
and the loving cup goes round filled
with the delight of three out of four
from the prize beauties. Was there
ever a prettier series for club at
home?
Bolivar, the great Egyptian. did the
singing of the whitewash brush in
both the first and last. The Witches
wand was but a switch to him and
they never caught him going the
wrong way. But about that last game.
Though the Izzybelles hit for eight
safe drives and courted runs in an in
sistent manner they couldn't reach
home.
And that's the whole thing in a nut
shell-they could not get their runs.
Boneheaded stunts on the bases at in
tervals did as much as anything to de-
prive them of their rights. In the
very first inning they lost their lamb
when they all went to sleep on the
sandbars in the sun. Their greeting
to Mr.. Bolivar was unpropitious for
Belden smashed one out for two. But
on Middleton's fielder's choice he tried
for third and got caught in the open
scenery where a game of tag laid him
out while Middleton hove up at sec
ond. Then Koerner laid a little one
out inside the yard and Middleton
thought he was due at third. While
Kunkle and Boles and Kahl chased
after him, Koerner set stakes at sec
ond and Walter snagged them both.
Tn ha fourth a V9riaR0fQd n0tlhIA
made possible the goose egg column.
Hughes and Isbell both had hit and
Hughes at third attempted to score
when Westerzil stuffed off a wilted
one to Kaufman. With whizz to
Cy and a bang at Butch the two were
wiped away with the field still clear.
Again they threatened in the eighth
installment with two men down. Hits
by Aitchison and Claire and an error
by Boles stood Witch on every bag.
Hearts began to climb into the crowds
aesophogus for Isbell himself, walked
out to grab the lunch. All eyes were
fast on Izzy and he really did mean
harm. He slammed one down toward
short. Boles had started to cover
second. In the last instant, however,
with a dip and dive he snatched it
from it's smoking trail and handed it
to Bobbie while the Izzyite was yet
afar off.
Aitchison who on his other showing
got away no better in the pit with
Kaufman was blown for four bubbles
in the second, one of them being
triple. Two runs were counted. Pen
nell, Kahl and Kaufman sacrificed.
Doubles by Kerns and Thomson and
a single by Kunkle pushed two more
across in the eighth and the tallyho
was unhitched.
The ladies in the stand helped the
appearance of the crowd The atten-
dance probably was the best of the
series.
Hughes started an argument with
Spencer which he lost by a unanimous
decision, so he took his doll rags and
went home. Claire took his place at
short.
The box score:
