CEDAR RAPIDS, jury 22.-Roy
Brown, who had some bad luck Sun
day. came back yesterday, and ayen-
ged himself on the Keokuk Indians In
most convincing manner. He famed
thirteen Redskins, allowed only one
walk and only four hits, acted as
star batter himself by hammerig out
two doubles and a single, and with the
assistance Of the Rabbits beat Keo-
kuk by screaming margin of IL to l..
The affair was very much of d
pleasant surprise party to the $40
bugs who paid to see it. The Red
skins of the city by the dam, who
looked so strong SUNDAY, we're SO
outplayed that it was difficult for the
fans to believe that this was the same
bunch of Injuns who beat Cedar Rap
ids the day before. The Manush
tribesmen lost their pep promptly art
er the Rabbits gained the lead of one
run. From then on it was only ques.
tion of how big margin the Rabbits
could make. for the Injuns were rag.

pitching, rid!culously foolish at bat,

ming.
Warrior Whitaker, a right handler,
performed or rather struggled in the
pitchers box by making futile at
tempts to fool the Rabbits with a
change of pace between an ordinary
fast ball and a nice slow heave. His
sleep ball was the best OF the two,
but the combination was mere joke
to the Bunnies and they amused
themselves by walloping the horse
hide to every unprotected spot exist
ing in the new ball park. Injun Whit
taker took his medicine gently, and
by smiling to the bitter end partly
succeeded In rendering himself less
ridiculous.
Umpire Fleming enhanced his good
reputation as an umpire by filming and
ordering ont of the park Second
Stacker Jack, who made cheap re
mark to the grandstand. Elem" not
only fined Jack IS, but had him TAX
en- from the field by Policeman Nor
rison, the policeman dong his duty
with broad expression or pleasure
on his round face.
This same Jack proved to be a yer,
poor loser and bad Indian. He pulled
at least three bonehead plays by fail
ing to touch man on second durin;
the first four innings. In the thir,
period he redeemed himself slight,
by smashing out double The dis

ond, however, sat SO heavily on hi
mind that he tried to fool the publi
into believing that Umpire Flemin
did not see the area of daylight bs
tween Jacks hand and the runna
who three times slipped to the Ike,
stone sack. So this bad Indian mouth
ed the umpire, and not having enoug
satisfaction in this, started deliverin
his remarks to the grandstand UmI
