GALESBURG, Illinois, July g.
Pitching ball which deserved a
shut-out, Margaret Niece, our demon
swatting twirler put crimp in Keo-
kuk's bread basket in Mondays con-
flict holding the hostile tribe at bay
while his faithful pals chased five
markers across for a win. The two
runs which were scored against Nc
Gee were largely of the gift variety,
twin long distance errors good for two
sacks apiece, being responsible for
the scoring. In the third with the
bases clogged and two hands In the
cooler Maggie set Jones down on
strikes and again in the seventh with
three men on the run ways he proved
himself master of the situation by
putting the skids under Kelly and
Jones.
Quiesser trotted out new one
named Nally for a try out and the
find was somewhat wild, passing two
men in the first AMI another to
start the second. Two runs were
amassed off the passes in the first
stanza and when the second started in
the same manner he was hooked
and Sloan who twirled the first game
Of Sundays double bill, was sent in to
retrieve the day Sloan got away for
ave innings in splendid style only one
nit being chalked against him. In the
seventh, however, the home boys be-
gan to Justify their salary checks and
In the eighth added another pair for
good measure.
Anderson and Bowling both drew
passes in the first and Eterts after at
tempting to sacrifice popped out to
Grogan. Ems then delivered a time
ly swat to right which sent Anderson
home and when Ginter's return throw
to the plate escaped Summers, Dowl-
Ing also came in.
MCGEE pitched out of rather tick
iish situation in the third when Sum
mers beat out a roller to short and
pass to Bresnahan and hit baseman
filed the sacks. Plunkett Jones was
not equal to the emergency however
and Maggie slipped three across on

sailed the home boys, and the Indians
managed to tie the score. After Sum
mers had been retired, Sloan got the
first OF his three swats. Bresnahan
hit to Blausser who fumbled and then
threw wild to second to flag Sloan,
the ball going clear to right field and
allowing Sloan to beat 1t for the plat
ter. Eberts heaved the ball to the
plate to flag the fleet twirler, but the
throw although true took a bad hoo
and bounced clear over Mcconnell j
bean allowing Bresnahan to come
clear in. MCGEE showed his caliber
at this point by putting on the brakes,
striking Hilly out and retiring Kelly
On feeble roller to Ems.
Hilly at this point got himself eject

center and Barnes was put in right
In the seventh MCGEE weathered an.
other hard storm without run and
got plenty of applause from the fifty

the emergency In the local half OF
the seventh Turner drew a pass to
start the works and Blausser's out adj

hit to left for two bases, Jones merely
tagging the pill after hard run.
This put the locals one to the good and
