!. GERMAN WONDER.
TEUToNIc TEAsER OF THE HOME
COMPANY WAS MASTER OF
ANDREWS CREW.

Nothing but victory was due the
brand of wiggling dispensed by
Dutch Hilgefort at the interesting
Sabbath meeting at the Myrtle street
tabernacle, and victory it was, by
gum, by the score Of 7 to I. Big Ash,
the tall and round sycamore of the
Kewanee wilds, was turned loose for
the edification Of the multitude, and
the thanks Of the crowd go out to
1.-THE betty. one for not beaning his ad-
Iversary Hilgefort until the eighth
spasnl. Had the Ashley bend that
sapped Dutch in the think-box in that
frame; come any sooner, it's hard to
tell what the end might have been, for
those Boiler manufacturers are some
knockers when they get started. Tney
could not digest the creamy menu
served up by the Teutonlc teaser'
however, who held EN- down to TWO
safe blows and Ashley pulled the bean
bail on the German in the eighth just
to squeeze into the table Of facts with
| some kind of hit.
Among the things of history that
happened in the fray was the sad blow
received by Hilgefort in the eighth
which sent him down unconscious;
Hilgefort's great pitching and his
spank that helped get Ottumwa's hrst
run, and the clever maneuvers OF
that dynamo of activity among the
guests, fitzpatrick around the key
stone sack. Cook and Wall, too,
pullcd some circus stuff, and Doc An
drews broke into public notice when
his literary efforts directed toward
IJmp. Glenalvin anent the foul spots
on Kensel's double in the sixth,
shifted the invalid leader of the visit
ors from the bench to parts among
the plain fans.
The pastime was case OF aDsolute
inability of the invaders to bother the
hall when at the pan, while the home
srun variety hit Ashley often and
when needed. The blows OF kensel,
Johnson, Russell, Wise and Wall net
ted the Ottumwa runs.
