Whitaker and Durham fought out
one of the prettiest duels that has
been seen on the local ball lot this
season yesterday when the Redmen
beat the Browns by a count of one to
nothing. Both pitchers were in great
form, Whitaker allowing the pennant
chasers a measly four hits, one OF
them being of the scratch variety
and Burnham tightening up until the
Indians had hard work gathering three
clean blows off the southpaw.
Whitaker won his own game when
he slammed out a double on the right
field foul line after two men were on
bases through an error on the part
OF Irmscher and base on balls. Aside
from this the Browns played great
ball as did the Warriors, several
times both pitchers getting out of bad
holes by the lightning like play of the
clubs behind them.
Four double plays featured the game
and only two chances we're given the
outfieiders for any work. Jones and
Lund each had one chance, which they
gobbled up easily, but the other field
ers might as well have stayed in the
clubhouse and hotel The infield han
died everything in sight and Blaussel
went into left field twice and took fl
balls that looks like hits.
Grogan played a star game, accept
ing fourteen chances without bobbli
as his days work. Blausser and Welcl
split honors for Monmouth in tn
fielding department, but the mali
show was the terrific battle betweel
the pitchers.
Keokuk's score came in the sevent
after Hilly was out by being hit by
batted ball and Ginter had grounde
out to first Gottschall hit to BlauI
ser, who fumbied the ball and the
threw low to Neer, letting the sorre
topped shortstop live on the boot, Je
fries walked, and Whitaker smacke
the pill down the right field foul lin
