It wasn't pleasant afternoon at
all in the region OF Myrtle street
park, despite the fact that 944 bugs
assembled to cheer the peak croWd
on to two wins out OF three IN the
Galesburg series. Sunday prougnt
the second defeat at the hands or tue
pesky Payer parties, and Bert Hough
did nothing but sit tight on the bench
and watch his live young cripples per-
form most nobly. x
The end was 8 Of, and the reason
thereof was mostly inability on the
part of the home folks to do their u.s.
ual banging with the war club. Two
obstacles in their way proved insur'
mountable, the said objects being
Hurler Malchau, and his partner In
crime, Jabbering Jeffries. The gent
with the pugilistic name had a fond
habit of eating up fouls, while the geek
with the funny handle was not at all
averse to setting the natives down as
poor stickers. Behind the Houghster
pitcher, there was company OF en-
ergetic young men who failed miser-
ably to accomplish even the symptom
Of an error, and in one frame, with
two on, Bowling and Scanlon and
Sampson pulled lightning double
play lust to demonstrate that baseball
is played by other folks than the
Speed family.
Considerable class was shown by
our own James Wall in grabbing
fouls and other things, and Bill John
son perpetrated another crime against
the enemy when he connected with
Blausser's tough tap in the opener.
Toots Gard did little lowly tumbling
in the fifth to complete an out, but
the trio of clever fielders were minus
quantity with the stick.
Credit for the win goes to the bat
terry pair, with Roy Blausser and
Felix Fox as the chief members OF
the aid society.
Sampson Started Scoring.
After Jimmie Wall and Gard had ex-
tinguished Giant Jeffries in the sec
ond, Mike Sampson decided to register
hit II came in the shape OF hon.
er over the center field fence, Mike
subsidized the rest of the distance ana
acted human. In the sixth, the home
crowd took a notion to win the game,
but spectacular work of Jeffries held
lis in check and permitted only a tie
Russell opened with crashing double
to right. Johnson in endeavoring tc
bunt the Rabbit to third. popped up a
short foul, which JeAries chased at
ter like a mailman. After gyrating
some minutes. the big fellow squeezed
the ball half way down to third. Not
satisfied with this piece Of cleverness,
the hefty one chased to the pitchers
box a minute later to catch Wallis
high one. Senno decided to put the
ball out of the range of Jeff, and his
bump scaled the two base wall In left.
OF course. Russell scored. With Dan
hopping about on second, Gard tried
mighty hard to whang a homer, but
his foul also fell into the eager paws
of Jeffries In the next round. which
Wise opened with single and Link
sacrificed, Noyes outguessed his hated
rival, but Kensel poled to Bowling,
and Noyes and the midget were doub-
led before they knew what happened
Galesburg won the game in the
eighth with two down. Fox singled
to center and Blausser poled over the
left field fence for two sacks. Jeffries,
who had previously been an easy out,
changed the order of things by shoot
ing q vicious drive between first and
second. Just as the ball had almost
reached Kensel's hands. it decided to
aviate, and as it flew over Tay's bean
into right. Fox and Blansser waded
home Wall walked after two were
down in the eighth, but Senno spoiled
his thousand average by polling to
Hilgefort. Two deceased in the ninth,
Link hit safe, but j. Dun, pinch-hitting
for Noyes, popped to the hitting
pitcher-gardener Hilgefort and the
misery was ended.
Sundays Score.
