GRIMES GIVES UP
TO v0LLEY OF HITS
kEWANEE FLINGMASTER WAS No
ENIGMA TO ACCURATE BLINkS
OF THE SPEED BOYS.

Dumping Grimes with his whirl-
wind manner of flinging occupied the
mound In yesterdays joyfulness at
the Myrtle street park and the combi-
nation did neither brighten nor puzzle
the came back" speed boys employed
by Ned Egan. The answer was to l,
and a bulk of the scoring was done in
the first one-third Of the pastiming.
Opposite Grimes was one Ray Boyd
of whom the good folks in these parts
have heard several things about in
times gone by. In the last game Boyd
pitched at home he was by no means
q strike out workman, whiting but two
men, but yesterday he elected to be a
regular fooler and eight Boilermakers
succumbed to his effective whip. The
lone score made by the guests was
through fuke, nary a hit, except
Masons rap in the Stats, being made
to assist the runner around. In the
fourth, fifth and eighth Raymond
struck out two men in row. The
fact that none of the five hits allowed
by Boyd figured in Kewanee's lone
score is evidence of the high handed
manner in which he was flinging the
game.
Back of the work of Boyd was some
very classy fielding, and even the
flingmaster himself figured In some OF

rare spasms of fielding in the skinned
section, while Hank Severeid's swal-
lowing of Blakes sky visitor near the
foul line in the sixth was the glory

When Kewanee tied up the score
in the third stanza, the faithful few
in the stands and bleachers became
worried, but after Ottumwa's opera
tions in No. 3, the look Of worry had
vanished and sereneness again pre-
vailed. The Boilermaker score came
in this fashion: Connors lived on
J ohnston's error and advanced a bag
when Boyd smote Mason in the ribs.
Crimes dump was fielded to Oaks in
time to nip Connors after a rare
spring to the bag was made by Oaks.
Overaker poled to Kensel, who whip
ped rapidly to second and Grimes ex-
pired. Mason went to third on this
play, and when Overaker drew the
throw from Link to second, Johnston
pegged back to Borton, to get Over
aker, but the throw home by Borton
was Just a second later than Mason's
arrival. Lewis wild throw of john
ston's easy grounder In the second
round was the start of Ottumwa's
scoring. Senno popped out to Grimes,
and Oaks walked, sending Johnston to
second. Borton hit to Lewis, who ex-
tinguished Oaks at second, but the
Chattanooga cyclone, under full steam
rounded third corner and slid into the
plate in advance of Lewis's relayed
throw home via Fleming. The third
frame, which brought Ottumwa the
game was opened with Links retire
ment. Boyd hit safely to left and

Rare fielding of Langdon and Blake
saved Grimes from further damage in

score down.
