game OF the Packers series, Friday
Wahl blanked the Ottumwans with
four hits. equaling the record Of his
brother pitcher the day before but IN
a much faster game The first inning
was the only time In which the Wis.

after that period the Indian in the box
was a wizard.

with elegant plays, snatching up hot

great delight. Once Kline and Nc.
Gaff1gan both tried to get under tho
same ball and Kline ducked when he
saw "Snooks" was laying for the
skier. The shortstop caught the pill
but was too sure Of 1t and dropped
the ball on the ground. He should
hardly have had an error on the play
after the try.
Miller knocks a Home Run.
To Tommy Miller went the honon
for heavy hitting in the game. In
the fourth frame when Keokuk's frs.
run was made, the husky center fielder
poled one to center field that Rinehart
misjndged and the ball stuck its noss
in the turf where the outfield fence
cuts an angle. without hesitation,
Miller stretched the hit into homer.
| The locals tried hard to chase over
another run in that inning, McGaflgan
] beating out wobbly bunt and Jack
lsacrificed him. Jenkins stung one to
first base and Hilly was out on fly

!! In the sixth, Miller was the first
man up again and this time singled

and Jack doubled to center, scoring

the choice as Kline hit to the third
baseman.
The fourth and last run came In
the eighth. Jack was good for a
base by shaping one through third;
he played the burglar for second;

Wahl Strikes Out Nine Men.

struck out thrice. Sampson whitfield
twice and Dan Senno who went to
bat in the eighth for Garrison, famed.
| Garrison, the tall. good natured
brick top on the slab for Ned, did
not fare as well as he has in some
other games. Keokuk getting nine hits
from his sleeve. Babe Adams, who Is
displeased with the dub title, 'Wild
Man from Borneo." was sent in with
the beginning OF frame eight to hold
the clouting Indians but it was too
late for Babe to inject terror or his
fellow beings to pound Vail.
Sensational Catch Of Hlllys.
There were two straights gone In
the ninth with Ottumwa at hat when
Third Baseman Wall went to the stick
and soused one far into centerfleld. It
looked good for at least three bases
but Pat Hilly on the job and slated
for bigger league, dug after the
/ flying ball and jumping indian fashion
pulled 1t In. The catch was as fine
a piece Of work as has been seen on
any c. A. diamond this year.
