CLINTON, Iowa, June 2.-"sphinx"
Houghs men took the last game OF
the series from Keokuk Monday after
hard fight by score Of to 5. The
Indians outhit the locals two to one
but Cooper and Mitchell were given
gilt edge support and nearly all Of
the hits counted In the run getting.
1t seemed just the opposite with Keo-
1xuk as they wasted several hits.
Hough and the boys were crashing
their teeth all day at the three de-
feats that Abbott and his crew had
handed them and swore revenge,
& which they duly took out on Cook and
VAIL Cooper. starting for the Pill
OTIS, weakened in the eighth with the
score tied and Hough sent Fighting
Bob" Mitchell to his rescue. He re-
tired the side with two men on and
! one down. From then on they never
got a hit.
Cooper was pitched out of his turn
in an effort to stop the hustling In
dians as Clinton is in a bad way for
pitchers with Miller out and both
Burg and Smithson in poor condition
and 1t Is little wonder that they are
not winning my more games than
they are.
Indians Start Fast.
ssg Keokuk started out like whirlwind
with two runs. Clinton came back in
their half Of the first and sent three
runs across the pan when Meme lift
ed one over the fence for a homer.
The Pilots gathered two more in the
fourth and things looked rossy until
the visitors came from behind and
tied the score in the seventh after
two men had been retired. The eighth
also looked bad when, with one down,
a single and two Dagger put men on
second and third. Here Mitchell was
sent in for Cooper and retired the
side without further damage. In their
half OF the eighth, Clinton came back
strong, showing two counters across
for what proved to be the winning
runs.
