stead Of First.

Two-thirds Of the crowd was sore
at their home team, the umpire and
their playing when the picked team
from Company L. the local military
organization, played the Canton Re-
serves on Missouri grounds Sunday
afternoon.
At the end OF the combat, the score
stood 6 to 5 in favor of the Canton
ians, but according to the men be-
hind the guns, the score keeper who
was one Of the Missouri brush ma
tives, stole score by taking down
the four runs made by the soldiers in
the third inning and substituted three
instead. The game would have been
tie after that but for balk in the
last inning by Pitcher Ed Robertson
for the Company l. team.
A Canton player was on third and
another On first. When Robertson
made balk in starting to throw to
the first baseman, and then held off.
the umpire, whose name was not
learned, gave the player on third
home, instead of ordering the advance
from first to second of the Canton
player on first.
The Canton crowd In the bleachers,
just inside of the corn fields, were a
square lot and roasted their team and
the jumps, roundly on account OF the
steal from Keokuk.
The lineup of Company l. was as
follows and the box score:
Powell, c; Robertson, p; Crimmins
lib; G. King, 2b; Rovane, sb: P. King,
IS; r. Roberts. II; Leake, CT; Griffey

One score was deducted In the third
from Co L, otherwise the game would
have been o tie in the ninth inning.

Note. Of the Game.

Did "Rube" Burch doff his cap to
the grandstand Sunday? l guess not.
The only real protest against
stebbins decision yesterday came af-
ter Hilly had hit long ball to right
and would have gone to second had
not he collided with Walters after
rounding first base. Whether Walters
purposely interferred or not is ques-
tionable The attention of Stebbins
was called to the play and Hilly was
sent on TO second. While pro-
test was being made third was left
uncovered and Hilly took another
base. After some argument Stebbins
decided TO call Hiily back to second.
Unless In1e nad oeen caIIed InIs
could not legally have been done.
Belt took Hilly's place In the last
half Of the ninth inning and was in
place Just in time to catch fly.
Yesterdays attendance was small;
in fact so small that it hardly swelled
the total figures In material ex-
tent. Only s22 people saw the game

Heavy Play In Second.

Keokuk's first heavy play came in
the second innings when Hilly dou-
bled to right field with one down
Murray scored him with single and
Moore shot a pretty safety to center.
Burch, who had caught Bresnahan
mapping at second base in the first
inning, threw back again to catch
Murray, but the ball went low Cav.
anaugh struck out and Sloan scored
the runners with his double.
The third was productive to the ex-
tent Of one run. Pennington hit one
that was too fast for Dutch" Airing
at third and Reichle drove one out
into center. Jansen sacrificed the run
ners and Painter juggled HiIly's roller
long enough to cause him to abandon
playing the ball home for Pennington

"unele Sam stebhlna.

This story introduces for the second
time that genial and accommodating
gentleman, Uncle Sam" Stebbins
who was called to do umpire duty be-
cause of the sickness of Beasley, the
regular jumps sent here. Hiram did not
get away as good as he did when be
drew down the twenty bones and he
probably thought that q FIVE case note
warranted only an amateur job of the
affair. However, his mistakes were
limited. The most fragrant Of them all
was in the first inning when Connie
Bresnahan hit screamer fully foot
inside third base. Hiram called il a
foul. His decisions in a few instances
were protested by the players and
the fans took everything good natur-
eddy, for in the end the two clubs got
about an even break.
Only q most spectacular defense
could have enabled Muscatine TO de-
feat Keokuk in the opening encounter
against the herculean efforts Of that
youngster Sloan, who has been win
ming with an alarming consistency OF
late. He was steady az clock and al
lowed only six hits which came sep
arated through as many innings The
only run the visitors made came in
the fourth when Holycross tripled and
came home while Moore was fielding
a grounder from Painters bat to first
base.
