Link almost grabbed hit. BLACK
burn refused to let it go, however,
throwing him out at first.
The Sox came right back for
tally. Zeider flew out to Sullivan but
Mcintire lave Senno chase. Gala
|, hans blow was embalmed by Sully.
Fourier then made things interest
ing with a two Dagger, scoring NC
Intire. Fournier tried to stretch MS
bang into three sacks but he was
nabbed. House to Wise to Link to
Kline.
BlunderIne Blunders.
Everything was lovely in the second
and third. But the fourth was AWFUL.
It was here that the Sox found three
scores dropped into the contribution
box with thuds that fell heaVhv on
loyal hearts. Fournier singled 10 leit'
Mattick's short knock Wass fleldeo 10
Kensel by Gregory under high steam
Kensel could not squeeze 1T. First
and second occupied and no one OUT.
Blackburn also dumped an easy one
to Greg. The leveller heaved the ball
with a f1erceness to Kline IN an en-
deavor to nab Fourier and Woulo
have caught him by mile but kline
could not handle the hot one, dropping
the pill. Staggering bases. TO make
q sub-climax, Link permitted passed
ball for Fournier's tally. Greg was
evidently sore at himself and every
body else. Turning on the innocent
Eddie Wise, he lined the leather at
him-nobody, not even Greg knows
what for. OF course, it was over the
Wise ones head Mattick scored from
second and Blackburn went to third
Zelder Shows Some Strategy.
Then the humorous stunt, OF the
whole game came off, with Rollo
Zeider at the helm. Weaver struck
out and Meyer was welding the hick-
DRY. Callahan was on the coaching
line at third. 1t was an old stunt and
a shame to catch Gregory on 1t, for
the pitcher was still up in the air.
Zeider came out on the third base
coaching line and vocalized to Greg,
~ .et me see that ball" Without the
slightest hesitation, Gregory tossed 1t
to him. Then the stragetic Zeider
blandly turned around and permitted
the oncoming pill to meander down
to the grandstand while Blackburn
trotted home. The Sox went into hys-
terics to see the old bewhiskered gag.
Greg took on a silly grin. Can't
blame him at all. It came near being
another score after that The Speed
Boy twirler walked two men in row,
after Meyer grounded out Gregory to
Manush McIntire advanced his mates
a bag with a single to Manush. Gala
han then tried dab of strategy. He
called Zeider far off from second and
Link tried to catch him with toss
to Kensel. Mogridge was on third
and started for home. 1t was play
Cal wanted. Kensel Immediately
whipped back to Link. Mogridge was
pinned between home and third. Zeider
ambled down to third to draw the play
off Mogridge. He succeeded, too. Mog-
ridge again started for home but was
nabbed, Kensel to Gregory at the
plate. At least Glenalvin said he
was out.
Ottumwa Scored Again.
In the fifth the locals garnered an
other score. Gregory spanked two
Dagger. Kensel advanced him to third
with a hit to Zeider. Senno died on
q fly to McIntire but he scored Greg
DRY.
In the same frame, the Sox tied
matters. WIN TWO OOWH, MdtllCh
singled, going to third on Blackburn's
hit to left. A neat double steal scor-
ed Mattick. Things went along peac-
ably and lovely until the tenth. Good
baseball was then in vogue. When
Block, the guy with the funny face,
came to the bat with Weaver on sec
ond, due to Lambs overthrow of first
base, he glanced at the left wall and
sent the first pill over for homer
that went for two sacks, scoring
Weaver from second.
Walsh, the big Moose leveller of the
Sox, went into the game in the sew
enth, and then it was one. two three
and out. The Speed Boys took a
swi pe at everything the big fellow Of
fered. He struck out eight of the
twelve batsmen who faced him.
Link was compelled to leave the
game in the tenth because Of an in
jured thumb Kline went back into
the mix, behind the bat, having been
relieved in the seventh by Lamb at
third. "
