nice little trot of the a. m. until he had
whanged out three straight hits and
chased In the victorious run for the
champion Speed Boys over the hard
fighting Redskins Of Beltville. The
mix was a free-hitting war in which
Ottumwa excelled in all departments.
Keokuk got away with three-run lead
but this was really the natural handi-
cap. Ottumwa added brace in the
first round and went ahead by three
more ta1lies In the third. The Redskins
scored again In the sixth, but this
run was only half as many as the
home folks pushed across In the same
round. Another wild whanging session
was the Keokuk seventh, which net
ted the down river folks three runs
and tied up the game. Harry Hughes,
who pitched fine ball all the distance,
decided to win the game in the eighth,
when his third straight pelt chased
Wise In from third.
Tod Sloan with mitt hand catch
in right and e. Wise, with bare paw
stop in deep short, and q perfect peg
to Wall. divided the fielding glory.

hurrying all the way, cleaning up the

and his rushing tactics won him his
