the second game between the Ansons
and the Ottumwa Speed Boys in the
ninth inning Thursday by polling hi
which had sufficient length to allow
/ 'Hawkeye" Harvey TO travel from
! first to the counting pan by length
ening out his stride.
Fosters hit was good for three SACKS
but the veteran was spared the neces-
sity of running it out, as it had done
I its service in sending the 1spensef OF
drugs around the circuit TO register the
score which was to unite the knot ano
send the bugs home happy.
! The game was not a grand exhibition

/ many oueer performances that the
! outcome was kept in the balance until
/ the closing swat Of '@. moo was
emitted and the interest was thereby
sustained to the end.
/, Debut Of New Pitchers.
/ The feature of the afternoons fTotc
| was the debut of Richards two new
pitchers It had been intended TO ex-
! hibit but one at time, but the first
| on view. Mr.. Mitchell by name. fal-
! tered almost from the start. and it was
/ necessary to hurry on Mr.. Fred Har-
! ter, of Indianapolis, who made better
/ showing and gave promise of doing
! something for the local team this sea
/ son. BY exhibiting both pitchers IN
one day the fans were given more than
/ they had been promised in the adver-
! tisements, but the performance OF
neither of the erstwhile big leaguers
overawed the opposing batters nor
! caused the fans to become hilariously
joyful.
Game Of Hard Hitting.

Unprepared For Finish.
/ The finish was most imposing. and
caught most OF the fans unawares. The
! stage was not properly set for such a
! performance. and the end came just as

I tracted game. Harvey was occupying
