The First Game.

Seneff pitched great game yester-
day. He went through all of the
eleven frames of the diversified first
one like Napoleon until the eleventh
when single and home run pulled
the grapes too high. There were two
home runs in the frs. game, VAIL,
the erratic third baseman of Egans
knocking the hide over the fence In
the opening round. There were two
out and none on base. Ottumwa did
not hit again until the fourth inning
and the second run was not made un-
til the fifth when only a single blow
counted and Kline made the first one
OF fey errors chalked against him in
the two goes.
The indians made their initial run
In the eighth inning. French grounded
out to the second baseman Seneff
lived on Kenseps error and was out
on a fielder's choice at second. Jack
was not thrown out at first on the
play although double was attempted
by the Packer infield Manush got his
one and only blow Of the day at that
time but 1t was a beauty and for
three bases, scoring the nimbIe Jack.
McGaffgan walked In the ninth;
Roman hunted and was safe; Hilly
sacrificed and Kline hi. sacrifice
fly to center, scoring McGaffgan. The
tenth and eleventh frames were
blanks for the home bunch but 1t was
the pie inning for Egan.
Seneff walked VAIL House, the
niggery indian got hit through short
and Wise punched out the second

Jimmie Dunn in the box for the Wis

one inning, the chances are, the score
won't be tied up very readily. But
Keokuk almost disproved that conclu-
sion and Ottumwa beat out the locals
by single run in the second game.
After the Indians had scored three
times in the second; twice In the
third and again in the sixth, i. looked
like walk away. Dutch Burnham
was sailing along like an old three
masted schooner on a calm sea and
to all appearances he had something.
He moved down four beefers with
ease similar to that of Warsaw
mayor Three hits were all he had
given up until the first of the seventh
inning. Then things began to pop
right and left and the gang stood, up
or sat down as the nightmare hap
pened to strike them and watched de-
velopments.
Wise, the first Ottumwa thug at The
stick, singled to left and was only
prevented from taking second by the
sure-armed Hilly. Schliebner got a
walk and Holly got to first on Kline's
error, the third baseman rolling
around in an attempt to pick up the
drive and missed miserably. Wise
scored on the error and when Kline
missed another one off Chapman's
bat, Schliebner went home for run.
Link, batting for Pitcher Beach, walk
ed and Kensed poked a sacrifice fly
to Miller letting Link in. Senno was
hit on the arm by Burnham and
Fleming gave him his base; Wahl
singled past Tom Romans station and
House hunted, beating out the short
one. It looked like the Indian was
out on first but Fleming called him
safe as he did Wise in running home
and the crowd went wild and jeered

Victory.
EIGHT RUNS In SEVENTH
Errors by the Infield and Re-
quest Made by Burnham
Of Manush to Stay in,
Held Responsible.

Playing before the largest Sunday
crowd in several years, Keokuk drop
ped the twin bill yesterday to Ottum-
wa and the Packers walked away
with more meat and the entire series
pocketed. No games ever caused
more sheer encouragement and the
blame can easily be attributed to two
causes for the defeat. First, because
with the score tied In the eleventh
inning OF game number one, Wise,
shortstop, for the visitors went to
bat and hit home run over left field
fence with two men on the bags.
Keokuk didn't get a look In during
the last frame of that game although
1t loked altogether like sure win
when the Indians tied things up in
the ninth
Manager Manush is held responsible
for the loss of the second game for
acceding to the request of Dutch
Burnham who asked to be left in the
box after Ottumwa had made eight
runs In the seventh inning. That was
the most disastrous frame that can be
remembered for some time and the
only duplicate In recent weeks was In
the game at Burlington on Saturday
when the Pathfinders made eight runs
In the seventh inning.
Before the fatal seventh inning Keo-
kuk had the game won, to and if
Manush had removed the southpaw
after the score had been tied and let
Whitaker take the mound for relief
then, the score would probably have
been different one and one of the
double session games saved. Frank
Kline, third baseman of the Indians
who has been playing clean, snappy
ball devoid of bones and flukes, had
four errors in the second game and
at least two Of these were responsible
for runs

Pat Hilly spanked the ball on the

Jack caught two dandy games. The
midget back stop tired little along
toward the end of the second game,
but allowed only three passed balls,
which speaks well for the chap, con-
sidering the length Of the first game
and the twenty inning stretch all told.

HilIy's Home Run.

The Keokuk rooters went mad
when Keokuk took a turn at bat In
the seventh and Pat Hilly was the
cause in the main for the oyerindul-
gence in joy. Miller singled to CEN
ter, McGaffigan and Roman were out
on fly and grounder and then Hill

thoner, he got around the diamond
for a home run that tied the
score and instead of playing the sew
en- innings as at first agreed upon by
Manush and Egan, the eighth was
ushered in. Otumwa didn't get hit In
that frame but Keokuk ran in one
which made the score to s. Burnham
got TO first on Wallis error; Jack was
hit by the pitcher; Manush lived on a

Some one called from the stand to
