ALFALFA GIANT
SCORED SHUT-0UT
WINNIE MOVES, THE NEBRASKA
WHIRLWIND, BLEW HOLES IN
SAILS OF. RoHNEYs.

When Hank Patterson reached tnlrd
and failed to score in the opening
fran Of the argument at MyrtletoWn
yesterday, the Rodney Relics were
then ana there a beaten club. When
Burton and Clifton got on in the sixth
and failed to pass the halfway station,
Boss Dick commenced to figuring how
much crepe should be worn by regu'
lation mOurrer.
When Tay and Rus. got on IN our
half of the opener, and Johnson Dang
ed to the center field fence for TWO
bags, scoring the first pair, Ned Egan
grabbed his left sleeve, placed MS
beaming countenance at the lower END
thereof, and enjoyed the laugh OF the
contented, but not satisfied. Alter
Johnson scored and Tay came pranc-
ing home again in the third, satls1ac-
ton was plainly evident on Meas
map and he whiled the rest OF the yes.
sion away by wishing all the Central
association clubs were as easy to de-
feat as Burlington.
The score OF the game yesterday
was four to the home bodies, against
symmetrically perfect oval for the
band of Rohn. The reason thereof
was better playing on the part OF the
natives. The reason why OttumWa
played better was because the Speed
Boys make up a better club than the
opposition. And the reason for that Is
in all probability Ned Egan.
Other things happening in the acre
of-joy forninst the aqua yesterday was
another exhibition of that liveliness
OF that young cuss, Elmer SEVERED;
an article of hurting that deserved
every inch its reward Of a shut-out;
one circus catch of Bill Johnson and
another good day in the field for Tay-
lor Kensel.
Nineteen little bugs and 416 large
ones witnessed the fray and there
was a dissenting voice when the mo-
ton was put that it was nice to oe
present.
Wynne WiggIed Wonderfully.
There was little difference in the
article of pitching put across yester-
day by Big Wynne and that offered
by Raymond Boyd on the previous
day. The four hits of the alfalfa
annihilator were confined to three
parties and no two of EN- came In
the same round. It is true that Pat
terson reached third in the opening
frame, and in the sixth two invaders
occupied bags, but these little Incl
dentals only made Wynne wiggle all
the more wonderfully. In the first
instance, he made the marvellous"
Mr.. Watson shoot off an indeld tap, re-
firing the side, and In the second, all
Patterson could do to assist his mates
was loft to Russell for the third out.
In the third, Wynne caught Hawk on
first just before Burton hit safe, and
Gard and Wise retired the latter when
he endeavored to steal. Lowthers
got on via pass in the seventh, but
Lamb and Bell, who filled in when
Watson relieved Rohn at first In the
fourth, were easy out.
Patterson opened the ninth with
transportation, but the trailers, Wat
son, Lowthers and Lamb, were vic
Tins of Wise Johnson and Big Wynne
himself. The Nebraska gent temper
ed his effectiveness with enough
strike-outs to keep his record Of whiffs
in q healthy condition, and for the
score making he looked to his mates.
Wynne's looks were not deceived,
for Kensel with the aid of Hawk,
started the run making right at the
getaway. His teaser was badly
handled by Heavyweight Hawk, and
Russell laid down perfect bunt which
he Had little trouble beating out.
Griffith inserted q passed ball with
much effect and the runners advanced.
The blow of Johnson for two bags
then signalled the bugs to yelp and
Tay and Rus. to score. Wall sacriflc-
ed Bill to third, and the doer of things
beautiful in the center patch came
across the rubber when Hawk unlock
ed whild pitch, Kensel opened the
third with a safe blow to left and
Russell's death advanced him. John
son again came across with the timely
tap and Kensel scored the fourth and
last run.
