scrappy, yea, even crabby Keo-
kuk Indians triumphed over the
fighting Burlington Cowboys at Ath-
letic park Friday afternoon by
vote of six to four. The game, which
was long drawn-out affair, was char
acterized by much hitting on the part
of both teams. Burlington had eleven
hits, while the visitors amassed
twelve. There were six two-baggers
and three circuit drives
The main feature Of the game was
the batting rally by the Burlington
club in the ninth inning. Williams
started this final session with short
hit, and Ellis and Jack were retired.
Then Jack Stanley poled a long hon.
er over the center field fence scor-
Ing himself and the Indian twirler
Harmon drove a double to the vicin-
ity Of the bull. and then Red Lowther
came within ten feet of tying up the
game by batting almost against the
left field fence. Sloan was playing
near the fence in left and caught the
ball, ending the game.
Wray supplanted Queisser as chief
kicker, and became so obnoxious that
he was driven from the park and as
sessed fine His unsolicited ex-
poundage OF rare detectives became
offensive to Umpire Agur. and he
! was asked to remove himself.
] Young Barnes OF the Indians was
opposed to Recruit Johnny Wise OF
the Cowboys, and both were hit
hard. However. Wise was yanked
early In the game that Moneymaker
might hit in a pinch, and Williams,
the Indian chief, took up the hurting
duties for Burlington.
The features of the game were the
hitting Of Lowther, Ginter and Shan
ley, the number of extra base hits and
nice bits of fielding by Sutton, Gro
gan. Harmon. Stanley, Clifton and
Kelley. All of these men had some
nice plays on defense, while others
added to the attractions of the match.
! A strange feature OF the contest was
that the first four hits made were
| twoibaggers. Shanley's homer was a
terrific drive over the left center
boards, Lowther's was away over the
lineup board and Ginter's was lucky
| hit that bounded over the left field
/ fence.
Keokuk scored first in the second
inning. The Indians made bid for
run in the first when Jawn Grogan
made his usual two-base drive and
went to third on Wise's error.
| Burlington scored once In the
| fourth and once in the fifth, and then
Mr.. Stanley made his celebrated
home run In the ninth, getting the
! other two runs. Lowther's homer got
/ the run in the fourth. and Burlington
I scored one In the fifth by means of
Ellis double and Jacks single.
In the second inning the Indians
scored their two in this manner: In
the second Hilly famed Ginter doub-
led to center and went to third on
balk. Summers struck out. Wray

Barnes singled to short and Wray
l Sountou. odTltS HdS Caught IryInB

/ Their last run resulted through the
following medium in the eighth;

to center. With Ginter at bat Kelly
