COMES IN
MUSCATINE CLUB
linaton Yesterday-Gets
Twirier from Topeka.

BURLINGTON, iowa, June 9-Boss
Boyle OF the Muscatine squad is out
after the games and intends to win
them If possible. He was not at all
sore about his defeat at the hands OF
the Pathfind srs yesterday but was
somewhat disappointed because the
score was SO big.
He said in most emphatic terms,
what my team needs is good
shake-up. and it's going to get it,"
and the willy manager evid sntly means
business.
Last night after the contest with
the locals. Pitcher Lind, whom the
Pathfinders touched for seventeen
hits, was releas ed Internationally, as
was also Pitcher Mcmillan. Mr.. Boyle
says that both of these men were
good for a time but have been nm
able to deliver the goods this season
and hi cannot be handicapped with
poor pitchers, as he claims to have
one OF the best fielding teams In the
league.
Boyle said that he expected to get
some sw pitchers in the near future,
and as matter OF fact already had
secured one, who arrived last night
This man is named Battle and II

ed to a good pitcher, this name

SPEED BOYS TAKE
FIRST GAME n-2
Riotous Session Won by Champions
Who Pound Mccullough for
Fifteen Hits Yes
terday.
BOSS ABBOTT BENcHED
Kennedy Cans Manager for Delaying
Game-Umpire Returns to
Town With an
OFFICER.

The Indians took day off yester-
day. giving to Ottumwa the first game
OF the series by IL to score. l.
was the first meeting of the two
teams this year. The eleven runs
made by the Speed Boys were the re-
suit of Is hits made off Mccullough,
and five errors piled up by the tribe.
Manager Abbott was benched by
Kennedy in the fifth inning, the sent
ence apparently being made on the
excuse that Abb was delaying the
game when the Indian boss went over
on the mound for a council OF war
with Mccullough after Mack had
4 treated to three successive hits. Ken
nedy broke into the confab by order
ing Abbott back to ais place on first.
When Abb did not go as quickly as
Kennedy apparently thought he
should, few words passed between
the two and the jumps then ordered
Abb on the bench.
Whether or not Kennedy was justi-
fed in benching Abbott, it is certain
that he drew for himself the best
panning an umpire has received here
for some time. Said panning continu-
ed until the end of the game when
Kennedy was escorted down town on
the car by an officer. It was as bad
day for Kennedy az it was for the
Indians. He made number of decis-
ions that drew vigorous protests from
the fans, one case particularly being
noticeable. when Hensling was called
out At first. From the stands 1t
looked like Senens foot was nearly
yard from the bag.
Ross, who opened the game for the
visitors, was relieved at the close OF
the first inning after two hits, wild
pitch, and base on balls had been
recorded. good for the only runs the
tribe made in the game. Betsil, who
replaced Ross, looked very good dur
ing the rest OF the game. letting the
warriors down with two scattered hits.
Although he struck out but two men,
the locals were unable to hit The ball
to any part of the field save where a
man was there waiting.
The Speed Boys counted five runs
in the first inning, five more in the
fifth, and one in the seventh. Several
errors made by the tribe aided in the
counting of the scores In these per-
iods.

Washington's Entry Jumps to
Century Mark as Time
NearS For Big Event.
By KIRK c. MILLER

Headed by no less a team than
that famous Chamber of Commerce
quint which has been the pride of
this city in every bowling tourna-
ment during the past decade, Wash
ington will march eleven teams
strong to Richmond on Saturday,
February 21, to participate in the
second intercity tenpin tournament.
When the last entry was checked off
at midnight Wednesday, Secretary
James Fields announced that 100 in
0ividual bowlers will represent the
Capital in the bowling classic of the
South, seventy of them being mem
bers of the eleven five-man teams,
counting substitutes, and about thir-
ty others being registered to roll in
the doubles and individuals.
With less than ten days remaining for
The Richmond rollers to perfect their
deliveries, every alley in Washington is
nightly the scene OF little practice par
lies. The tenpin rollers only COM
ueRced to take the coming trip Ser
ously about last Monday, and not until
after their entries had been filed did
they realize that ii will require some
strenuous practice in order to make a
.eood showing in Richmond, to say moth
ng of capturing a share OF the prize
money and other trophies.
Among those teams going to Rich
1Oud is Capt. p. Z. Fletcher's outfit Of
tramp bowlers, every member OF
which is absolutely green at rolling
.enpins, and indeed some Of them are
4ot even fair duckpin rollers. Fletcher
ras his team we'll organized by now,
nc he declares that within the ensu-
ng ten days he will make ali expert
enpin team out Of it.
