DESERVED VICTORY.
ONE FATAL INNING
Chicago Was Donated Three scores

Earned But 2 Runs-Speeders
Deserved All Theirs.

Well anyhow, the White Sox knew
thew were playing baseball. They
came so durn near getting wallopeo
that there was no fun in it. Further
more. 1,4OO fans we're genuinely dc
lighted with the classy exhibition
Lastly. everybody is satisfied. That
enough.
Bruno Block, whose gesicht mus'
have been showed on MIN oy solne
cartoonist, broke up the going yestel
day when he poked a homer over the
left field wall in the tenth frame
bringing the Chicago White Sox VIC
tory over the Ottumwa Speed BOYS
to 5. And Gwendolin, we certainly
mean what we say when We promul'
gate the fact that it was classy
exhibition. The Speed gentlemen came
so near tying a very beautiful kioosh
on the tails of the sox, that the Dig
city entertainers failed to discover
the least atom of fun in the battle
Believe muh, "if" the Egan gang, or a
mart of it rather, had remained down
on the ground and refused to soar
into the ethereal realms Of misca'
bobbulation, they would have had the
finest reason in the world for cele'
brating last night, even If Ottumwa Is
thirsty. Those Speeders gave the
Sox a fierce battle from start to mn
ish and except for the awful fourth
when Gregory went straight up IN the
air, that piece of pastiming looked
verify like world series contest
Although Greg pitched brilliant ball,
making the hose gents call the UNI
pire a prevaricator with his beautiful
benders, the big fellow spoiled things
by his aerial demonstration. Kline
and Lamb also helped to give the
game away.
Earned Only Two Rune.
The Sox only earned two runs In
the entire game-the other four were
donations-all Of which goes to sno"
the class of the Speed Boys IN the
game. The Eganites earned every
bloomin' one of their TALES me
home scores came, four Of them IN the
first inning, when Mogridge, the for
mer Galesburg leveller, was punched
for five biffs. In the same frame, the
sox captured a single tally with two
smashes. Then the fourth. Three
scores for the Sox. The game was
hooked in the fifth when a double
steal gave the sox the fifth score, fol-
lowing a tally driven in by the Speed
ers with three terrible swipes at Mog-
ridge. Everything went lovely, one,
two, three, until the tenth. when
Block sent one over the fence scor-
ing Weaver.
kenseI Got Three Bangs.
Taylor Kensel, displaying the ease
and grace of a large Lacquer, marched
off with three of the ten hits secured
by the natives. He started matters In
the first frame, the first man to bat.
Tay got himself into hole and then
what did he do but send fierce drive
along first base line into right for two
bags. Doctor Sullivan did not parley
for an instant, smacking the first
splitter Mogridge offered on line to
center. Dan Senno was next. He got
himself a single to center and Taylor
pranced home. House went out Mog'
ridge to Fournier, but he placed his
brothers on second and third. Manush
died hard, Blackburn gathering In his
lift to right after long run 1t was
a pretty blow that Kline sent to the
left field fence. 1t couldn't have been
better. Sullivan and Senno padded
home. Kline went to second on the
throw-in, just to be prepared to score
when the time came. Wise slammed
to right and Kline came all the way
RI mother and home sweet home.
