SPORT GALORE SHOWN
Dunn and Pressy Have Hard Tussle
in First, With Best Hitters on
Formers Side-Noe Was 5ing-
led Right Plenty In No. z.

The speed boys hustled back into ole
time form Sunday during the afternoon
period and aside from rivetlng feV
boilermakers more securely to tn
bottom of the heap, proceeded to wall
ND little on the slight lead Hanniba
has been enjoying during the off-sea
son of the Eganagins. The first meet
ing went to the native sons, to 4
and it was tussle that was indeed
worth while. The second endeavol
of the athletes demonstrated that OF
tumwa should have won at least nal
OF the games with Galesburg, insteac
OF being defeated out of 8. The
speed boys made an even dozen runs
in the concluding spasm, while Kew
anee rushed home twice.
During the double bill, there was in
deed a quantity to amuse the home
folks. Particularly noticeable in the
first was the field maneuvering OF
James Johnston, Hank Severed and
Energetis Ochs the latter being the new
cayorter who resides down third ave
lnue. Flemming, too, for the enemy
was some pumpkins in the came ter
ritory. Rabbit Russell monopolized
the largest part Of the attention In
the second by his great fielding and by
his exhibition of dumb playing, the
latter quantity being repaid by his be-
ing benched In the second The in
field operators Of the natives gave
Bill Yaeger hearty welcome to their
midst by working la Elg1n, making
no less than three double plays and
| nary boot.
Another avenue Of amusement, and
perhaps the most important, was the
healthy connections made by the
speed boys. In the first Borton top
ped the heap with homer and a
double. Senno, Kensel and Ochs
also abused the ball for the half way
distance. In the second, Dan Senno
started the extra-base bombardment,
driving in three runs in the initial in
ming. yi...mie Johnston went Daniel
one better in the sixth, when he
hoisted the leather over the left gar
den wall and four scores resulted.
Eight of the fourteen smacks IN pas
time No 2 were for extra-cushions.
This Tells Of No. I.
Oyeraker opened the game with
gentle rap to center and went to third
when Borton failed to squeeze fling
of Dunns to catch the runner mapping.
Borton also used his own good time
about returning the ball When Blake
singled to center, of course Overaker
registered. Doubles to right and left
fields in No. 2 by Mason and Pressy,
netted Kewanee's second score.
Senno, Ochs and Borton, however,
conspired to even the tallies, and this
was done in short order. Dan started
with a double to left, and Ochs nobly
died as sacrifice Borton then reali
zed that it was up to him to redeem
his listless work in the first inning,
and the said redeeming action was
to send the hide over right held
fence for the circuit. Hits by Flemm-
ing and Langdon, Lewis sacrifice and
Blake's out in the third, gave KeWanee
another score, but Kensel tied 1t ~ IN
the fifth by doubling to left, going TO
third when Russell beat out bunt
down third base line and scoring when
Lewis return of Severeids vicious
grounder was a second too late Of
tumwa won the game in the seventh,
which Kensel opened with a walk.
Russell sacrificed and Lewis made
Borneo peg to first when Sew. sent
the ball to the short field. Kensel
scored on the misplay and SEVERED
perched on second. Johnston's singing
double to left field gave SEVERED
cue to register and he did. James
Dunn performed five innings without
a hit or run and then Airing reached
the Joy plate in the ninth on his doub "
Connors out at first and Mason's rap
to right. the genial boss Of them all,
Mr.. Jerry -Gddinger then announced to
the multitude that ten minutes would
elapse before the second game. The
elapsing time was spent in social con-
versation, during which the merits
and dement's Of the athletics were dis
cussed pro and con.
Second Game and Its Contents.
jeff Noe was not equal to the task
of stopping the speed boys in the sec
ond mix, while Jaeger, the Keokuk
castoff, worked like he wanted the job
Ned offered mighty badly. He won
his game, got the job, and is now able
to smile again. Jaeg allowed hits In
the first. second and fifth with no re-
suits. Senno dropped Blake's fly in
the seventh, Airing followed with
triple, and Connors singled, netting
two runs. Again in the eight Jeag al
lowed a hit and in the ninth. Blake
and Airing again hit, but a double
with Johnston, Kensel and Borton In
operation ended the game. While
Jaeg was doing such a reasonably
good job of ainging, his mates were
giving him most encouraging support,
not only in the field but at bat. Ken
sci opened the first with walk, and
Russell sacrificed SEVERED followed
with a hit. Johnston was there with
tap to left and Tay tailed. Senno
