is worthy OF special mention. Thus
far he has hung up one or more hits
in every game he has played with
the Sox and today he holds grand
batting average Of .425 in ten games.
He cracked out four hits in ten
times at bat In the Quincy series;
seven hits in eighteen times at bat in
the Springfield set; and thus far has
pushed out six blows in twelve times
at bat in Decatur Two OF his pokes
have been homers. In addition to his
hitting ability, Marshall has been
playing a great game behind the bat.
They. are stealing but few bases on
him and he is given chance to I'M
cork his good arm in every pastime.
If Marshall is fortunate enough to re-
main uniniured until O'Leary gets
back on the job to alternate with him,
the Sox can file no complaint against
the brand of backstopping they have
received.

Sporting Views
By the Editor

The boys Ioafed around the camp
yesterday and this morning hit the
RATHER for Burlington, where they
help the Red Sox finish the season.
The Burlington Hawk-Eye this
morning INDUCES in little more
pennant speculation and says the
Sox still have a chance to hold a
flag raising when the season ends. IS
it stands now the Sox are just three
games behind Waterloo, while there
remains but nine games for Burling-
ton and eight for Waterloo. It's a
safe bet the Jays will win half OF
their remaining games and If they do
the Sox have no chance OF overtaking
them.

BURLINGTON, Iowa, Sept. 1.-Thel
this afternoon which begins the last
series that will be played on the local
diamond this season. The Keokuk In
dams always have been somewhat OF
q Jinx for the Pathfinders, but on this
occasion when SO much depends up-I
on the outcome Of every game the
Pathfinders will extend themselves toI
the limit to win and the odds are in
favor Of the locals.
Burlington is closing in on Musca-
tine, who now holds down the position
OF second place In the standing with
Waterloo barely ahead OF them. The
locals are by no means a poor third,
as they are not only gaining rapidly
for the coveted position Of leadership,
but they stand good chance to get
there. The pitchers are now working
In great form and with perfect team
work behind them 1t seems improbable
that the Pathfinders will lose very
many more games this year and but
q comparatively few games won, with
any kind OF luck. should put the Path
finders where they were in the early
part OF the season when they topped
the list.
Both Waterloo and Muscatine lost
yesterday, this making the fourth de-
feat out OF five games played that the
PAYERS have put the proud Muskies on
the toboggan. II the PAYERS can do
this 1t is a cinch that other clubs can
and heres hopin'."
Return Today.
AS mentioned before, the Pathfind-
ers return for their last session to-
day and there should be large crowd
present to witness the contest as but
one more day then remains when the
burlington public can view league
game in this city this season.
It Is not known definitely who will
pitch, but it is thought probable that
either Burg or Bierman will be in the
box, Miller and McCabe being saved
for the one big last battle on the
home grounds the next day.

Twin Bill Wednesday.
On this day wednesday,, double
header will be staged for the admis-
sion price OF but one game. This will
be the closing day of the year here
and if Burlington public ever turned
out to any kind of sports it should do
SO on this occasion, thus having a
fitting ending to the baseball season
in this city. Everybody boost the
game like 1t was never boosted be
fore as 1t cannot be denied by any
real fan that the Pathfinders have
been lighting every day and it was
