Mr.. Miller.
With the flock ahead by a two to
one count and three Cowboys waiting
on the sacks In the seventh inning
of Saturdays pastiming Mr.. Jackie
Jack stepped to the plate and in an
unconcerned manner, picked out one of
Morses benders and sent it far over
the left field wall for four bases. Thus
was baptism of fire administered to
Earl Morse, the St. Paul boy, taking
part in his first championship game.
{ Jacks hit turned victory into defeat
for the locals and disheartened the St.
Paul boy to such an extent that his
offerings proved easy for the Cowboys
after that inning. BY the time the
smoke had all cleared away the count
stood seven to two against the Egan
tribe. The fact that Morse and Chap
man had picked Jack for the goat"
might have had something to do with
him cracking the pill. Rolleg and
Burns we're on third and second re-
spectively when Harry Ellis stepped to
the plate in the fatal inning Fearing
that the veteran Ellis would pickle one
and score his pals, Morse purposely
walked the big gardner, thus filling the
sacks. 1t was here that Mr.. Jack came
into fame and lifted one over the gar.
den wall, scoring Rolleg, Burns, Ellis
and himself. 1t was certainly great
to watch, as the effect it had on both
the local athletes and the Burlington
boys was not common. Red Lowther
began to jump and kick like a Mis-
souri, mule and to watch Red one
would believe that he had won for.
tune. But 1t was funereal to watch
the actions Of the natives. Earl Morse
and Chapman were especially strong
on the sad stuff The bleachers that
had been having 50 much fun out Of
Red Lowther and the rest of the Mis-
sour1ans throughout the game seemed
to forget everything and veil of dark
neBs seemed to cover them
Locals Couldn't Hit.
Aside from Jacks hit the locals have
no excuse to make for losings The
main and big reason that we didn't
win was that the flock couldn't find
Mr.. Miller who was heaving for the
Cowboys with ally degree OF success
Tay Kensel's long triple in right field
In the first stanza was the only clean
hit made by the locals. Miller had the
natives eating out Of his hands at all
times. Nolt scratched hit through
Miller In the first and Stanley hit one
In the fourth inning which he beat out.
Aside from this the Speeders did not
get the slightest semblance of hit.
The big HEAVIER from the river town
had something up his sleeve for he
made eleven members Of the flock lay
down the willow by the strikeout
route.
Morse Weakens.
On the other hand Earl Morse pitch
ed nice game up until the seventh
inning. Jacks clout seemed to dis
courage the st. Paul boy. Up to that
time the Pathfinders had just secured
four safe taps. In the ninth inning
Morse was tapped for three safe ones,
which netted the Rohneys another
tally.
Francis Franklin Kline, outflelder,
pitcher, first baseman and all around
man Of the Speed machine pulled off
the genuine "bone head" of the game.
Whether kinney was thinking of the
slaughter made Of his St. Paul friend
or whether he was wondering what he
was going to do next winter is more
than he can solve. Nevertheless Frank
threw the ball away in the eighth
inning after he had caught Sutton at
first. Kline must have thought there
were three out and his ivory display
let Rolleg score from third. Kline
discovered that he had pulled bone"
after Rolleg had crossed the pan.
kensel's Rap Fruitful.
It must be said THAT Tay Kensel's
long rap to right field in the initial In
ming was fruitful Nolt who lead off
In the mix went to first on hit which
was too hard for Miller to handle.
With three and two on him, Kensel
picked one of Mr.. Miller's foolers and
right field. Nolt came from first to
home with the first score for the ma
tives. Wall struck out and Tay re-
NAMED on third. John House laid an
easy one down to Miller, but the ball
took q bad bound and as result Ken
sci scored and House lived on first.
Wise popped out to Ellis, but Kline
was given walk. With House on
second and Kline on first Conner Shan
ley struck out and the Speeders'
chances of scoring for the remainder
Of the day persisted.
Burlington scored in the same inning
when Jack lived on a fielder's choice,
stole second and came home on Red
Lowther's crack to right.
Manager Dick Rohn made his first
appearance in Ottumwa since his in
Jury last fall. Rohn did not take part
In Saturdays mix, but he says that he
will be in the game before long. T. c..
Hayden, president of the Burlington
club, witnessed the game from the
grandstand and displayed delight in
watching the two teams clash. Hay
den seemed especially delighted in the
seventh frame when Clarence Jack hit
for four sacks.
