Have you noticed, dear fan, how
very few extra inning games have
been played in the Central association
this season? To assign reason for
the condition that is prevalent is dif-
ficult unless it may be attributed to
the much abused cork-center ball.
The easiest way, however, is to say
that free hitting and loose fielding
have eliminated the alright games
which the past has produced, and in
their place have come games with
the big scores that less frequently
allow the battles to continue on Ak
ira sessions.
An interesting thirteen inning game
occasionally is a JOY to the bugs, but
for the most part they are well SAT-
isfed with regulation length, es-
pecially if the home boys cop the
gravy.

Luck-to use the vernacular-play-
ed prominent part in Keokuk S
third straight win over Jake Beck
ley's Hannah Bellies Saturday after
noon at Hubinger park. 1t was the
freakiest victory of the season; just
about as freaky as school teacher in
harem skirt, or minister behind a
saloon bar. To be more explicit Keo
kuh got just three knocks off the
iously placed and appropriately ex
ecuted for the proper distances, net
ted cold six runs. OF course, a lit
tie wildness by Adams and few
juicy errors in the Hannibal defense,
made the game soft. In the way of
back fighting Hannibal hit Smith for
ten and Murray for two, all good for
total count of five, or just one short
of tie.
When the game was Ger the Keo-
kuk fans slunked silently out through
the gate like crowd that had rob
bed a peanut vender with a wooden
leg. Frank Belt wanted to give the
game back or play 1t over Beckley
cast a dissenting vote and Umpire
Glenalvin then stepped in and told
Beckley he had grounds for protest
because it took one hour and forty
minutes TO play the battle under JUS
tees latest supreme court decision.
Anything would have been done by
both the winning and losing conting-
ents to keep the game out of the rec
ords. But such is baseball. AS Gold
berg says They all look good when
there far away just SO does yester-
days game loof good if you were not
too close.
To be more serious. the game pre-
eented something of the fighting
spirit of the Hannibal team. Suffer
ing from Keokuk's lead in the first
inning the visitors fought back and
tied the game. only to have Keokuk
rush four more runs across. This
handsome lead was nearly overcome
in the seventh when Smith and his
salivated slants were severely punish
ed by the enemy.
