peka, VIII Battle Against Boost
ers in one Game of Double
Header This Afternoon.

Mr.. Jesse Garrett who, It must be said,
is a pretty good fellow and a pretty good
pitcher despite the affliction of the front
handle. slipped one over on the Des
Moines Boosters yesterday with the able
assistance of his pards by the score of
II to 5. Jesse held the Boosters to one
hit in the first six rounds, which is con-
siderable performance but he loosened a
bit in the last three to let n couple of the
visiting athletes augment their batting
averages.
The most important fact concerning the
fray was the presence OF several ancient
landmarks OF the national pastme, The
list begins with Frank Isbell, the we'll
known manager. Emerging from the dug
out to occupy a conspicuous position be-
fore the glare of the calcium. Mr.. Isbell
deserted his usual seclsion away from
the grind OF battle, where he may brood
over the past and present. Mr.. lsbell did
his brooding on the first sack, as Tex
Jones, the able guardian of that corner,
was called home by reports that his wife
and child were Ill. A mournful figure
was Isbell on first-perhaps the most
mournful figure in base ball-but a man
of ways and means in this circuit for all
that
Veteran Poles n Triple.
Mr.. Isbell has committed base ball in
many parks in many leagues for many
years and he committed considerable yes
terday. In the eighth round, with two
on, he tottered weakly toward the we'll
known plate and pasted the first ball
flung at him by Jesse Carrot to the re-
gons closely adjacent to the flag pole in
center field Isbell doddered weakly
around the paths and made third base on
the swat, while the gents ahead of him
hustled homeward. Frank was stranded
on third, despite his earnest peadings, by
his mates. three of whom went out to
Kruger either by whtff or foul.
Second among the ancients was Red
Andreas, long since thought to have been
deceased. Red. who, it is reported, was
raised in a Sioux Indian camp when Lewis
and Clark stopped at Council Bluffs, was
actively engaged in covering second base
Red didn't do so worse, in fact he could
have done much worse, and he should be
accorded unlimited credit for coming
back to life again.
Lakaff BrutalIy Beaten.
Lakaff, alleged to be a pitcher, started
the battle for the Boosters Three stanzas
and Lakaff was derricked high over the
garden wall while Duffy hoped into the
diamond to lead forlorn hope. Inas-
much as the Rourkes made four more in
the fourth off Mr.. Duffy there is no doubt
but what he led a forlorn hope. Sad in
nings were the third and fourth, as total
of nine runs and nine hits will testify
Garret, Krug, Kruger and Schliebner
contributed the knocks which spelled dis
appearance for Mr. Lakaff, while Thomas
lifted a sacrifice fly which helped matters
along Dunlop. Krug. Thomson, Krue-
ger and Congalton constituted the wreck
ing crew which did so much damage to
Duffy In the fourth
Today two games will be played The
first game will be called at o'clock
Pep Sanders of the Storz will heave one
battle and Red Styles, the southern
beauty, will probably hurl the other
