Burlington Scored In Hurry.

reached first.
Second Game a Good One.
Despite the fact that his binger-
anors in the first meeting were deuced-
1y hard to solve, the visitors, did not
tremble when Ray Boyd again went
TO the middle in the second game.
They figured that the endurance OF
the Boyd individual would wa1ie some
what. and even Foreman Geier had
notion in his head that he would win
the game, Carrying out this thought
he sent P1ympton to the mound with
instructions to do as well as he did
last Thursday. Plympton performed
better, holding the Eganites to five
raps, but he failed to see that the hits
came scattered Instead Russell and
Senno biffed safely in the fourth and
one score resulted. Finney, Airing
and Link conspired against the former
Ottumwa workman in the seventh,
and scores No. and No. 3 were regis,

game. The four dents In Boyd's rec
ord came one at time in the fifth,
seventh, eighth and ninth, but in none
of these innings did a Burlington play
or get past the middle sack.
Senno and Russell broke into the
remarkable playing column in the
games, the former sending the pill
over left field fence in the opener,
and the latter pulling Bateman's
Westonized bump off the fence in the
second.
