first inning, made of Barber and the
Indians in the second game OF the
Marshal town-Keokuk series here yes
terday, was more than the Indians
could overcome under siattery's pitch
ing. nd the visitors took the game by
q 4 to score Although VAIL, who
succeeded Barber, pitched great
game and held the Ansons to two runs
during his time in the box, the tribe
was unable to do anything with Stat
terry when hits were needed. On mum.
erous occasions the home prides filled
the sacks, but let the inning filter
away without making more than one
score.
Barber seemed to have plenty OF
speed and his curves broke well, but
he lacked any kind OF control. His
wildness got him into tight pinches
where he had to groove them and the
Ansons took fancy to his offerings
on these occasions. Slattery was
rather wild himself. and got himself
into several close places On this &C
count There, was nothing to it though,
when he did put them over. For the
most part the four runs made by the
Indians resulted either from errors
or from his inability to place them
over the pan.

and a sacrifice fly by Delaney.
No more.than one run was made in

SAVING THE LAST

Western farmers. either as individ-

store water for irrigation purposes
in one of four kinds of reservoirs.
These are distinguished from eacn
other by the character of the mater
ials used in forming the dam or by
by some distinctive method of building
such as earth-fill dams. hydraulic-fill
dams. rock-fill dams. and timber dams.
In the largest class OF reservoirs the
water IS usually withheld by costly
masonry and concrete dams. In tha
