What had the symptoms Of an IN
dian victory, was converted, via the
bang route, into the third Ottum"a
win at the Myrtle street parlors o.
amusement Thursday during the sur
period. The Speed family decided In
the fifth frame to slam the sizzlers Of
Silver Sloan, and the said session was
replete with healthy raps that netted
five scores for the natives. Another
seance of bangs added three more IN

is not averse to four-sack slices, Tay
lor Kensel punched the pill over the
right field fence in the eighth for the
ninth score Keokuk chased three
across in the second on as

There you have all the ingredients
Of the pleasing mixture in one short
paragraph 49,
The startling feature Of the after
the miraculous fielding of the youthful
coverer Of the short field, Midget
Moore, the Paragoul whirlwind. What
Moore didn't get failed to come his
way. and what he did get was in at
least three instances large
punches labeled poison" The
lad grabbed 'em out of the skies,
chased back. of second to glom hop
ping broadside from Johnson's stick,
and speared terrific line punch from
the pole of Wall. His pegging, too, was
perfect, and the only weak spot no.
ticeable in his playing was at the bat.
II Moore could hit, he has job in
the high brows reserved for him at
some future date.
Pitchers Work Even.
Plympton and Sloan waged about
an even war throughout the afternoon,
both, being found for ten clouts, but
the one getting away slight bit bet
ter with the war club than the other.
The hitter of the pair was the thin
young thing whom Belt bought from
the ailing Paragould planet. His first
clout in the second chased across
run and his double in the ninth put
Belt within range of the plate.
Plympton's one spank was by no
means ineffective, scoring Wise for
the first of the wholesale quantity of
runs in the fifth. Leroy had the best
whit record, but his two wild pitches
and walks figured as prominently in
Keokuk's runs as Scans five
passes did in Ottumwa's tallies. 1t
might also he said that Plympton's
strike-outs retired the side in two dan
gerous moments, while Sloan had to
depend upon his support to do the
needful in the three frames that o.
tumwa was bent on scoring. Murray,
was easy for Leroy, who famed him
twice.
The fateful Innings.
Keokuk's best stanza was the Sec
ond, which Painter opened with per-
feet strike-out. Jensen hit safe and
Kinser walked. Moore skied out to
Senno and Cavanaugh tapped to right,
scoring Jensen. Sloan looked like an
easy out because of the fact that he is
a pitcher, but his rap to right won
him the respect of the home parties,
and incidentally scored Kinser and put
Cayanaugh on third. In trying to Whit
Hilly, which he finally accomplished,
Plympton committed wild pitch and
Cavanaugh registered.
Eddie Wise was the gent that found
10 l.
the opening of the Ottumwa fifth.
The Logansport lightning rod agent
pushed the ball slowly down to Jen-
sen, who was compelled to grab it
and toss it quickly to Painter to get
Wise. Jensen reached too quick for
the pill and Wise was on the bag be-
fore the visiting fielder could grasp
the ball securely to peg it. Wise's big
lead off first pulled wild toss from
Father Belt, who, by the way, re-
lieved Cavanaugh in the fourth when
the latter was injured by a foul tip
Eddie scampered to third on the error
and remained there while Painter
retired Link. Plympton came across
with the necessary bingle to right for
Wise to register on and then came
the parade
Home Runs Numerous.
Kensel soaked to center and Rus.
sell poled to right. Sloan then walked
johnson, forcing Plympton home.
Wallis double to left scored Kensel
and Russell, and Senno's walk again
crowded the bags. Gard smote to left
for a sack and Johnson's run, and
then Wise, who opened the inning,
came up the second time. His whack
to right found resting spot in Kin
ser's eager paws, and the toss to
Painter by Kinser beat Gard back to
the sack for the third out of the
frame. 'a
Moore's second brilliant play of the
afternoon opened the Ottumwa
seventh, with Russell as the victim.
The Rabbits line pole three feet over
Moore's head, was grabbed out of the
