DEFEATS ANsONs IN FINAL Bat
TILE OF SERIES, ~ SCORE
OF 4To 2.
CLASSY EXHIBITION
THRILLS SMALL CROWD
Vyskoeil Pitches Excellent Ball, But
( Mates Spoil Chances to Win by Poor
Base neutrality-suspicious. Marked by
Good Fielding and Heavy Stick Work
OF Visiting Pitcher.

Burlington made it three straight
from the Ansons Thursday, taking the
closing battle of the series by score
of 4 to 2. 1t was great exhibition of
baseball, and the outcome was in
doubt until the last man was out in the
ninth. ,
Mccoy, the visiting pitcher, got away
to win on his box showing. but which
he was certainly entitled to insofar as
his stick work was concerned. He
scored two of the visitors runs and
paved the way for'both scores by hard
hitting, once getting a triple and again
q double. which Is some days work
with the stick for a hurler.
Vyskocil pitched better ball and de-
served to win. His support was ex-
cellent most Of the way, but a run
counted in the ninth when Stevenson
went into left field for fly which
Carrigan should have taken easily, and
fearing run-in both players stopped.
allowing the ball to fall fair. In the
same inning Stevenson was guilty Of a
miscue, the only fielding error Of the
Ansons in the entire game.
Base Running Is Faulty.
But for faulty base running Mar
shalltown should have won. In the sixth
barrow scored Seibert with q pretty
two-base hit, but was caught on at
tempting to stretch his hit to a three
Dagger. Andreen followed with dou-
BILE which would easily have scored
barrow had he held second. The hit
ting of the local team showed i'm
provement, but on one Or two occas-
! ions, when hits meant runs, the bat
tiers failed to deliver.
Burlington played Hike an aggrega-
ton Of Trojans, and won the game on
long, hard drives, Harmon hitting over
center field fence in the seventh for
| home run.
Double Play Halls Rally.
The Manusch crew started score
ward In the third frame. but the bat
| ting bee was halted by pretty double
play, after one runner had been shifted
around the circuit. Rolleg started the
round with q fly to barrow. Mccoy
arose to the occasion, however, with
hard three-base hit. He scored on
Meinert's single, but Lowther hit into
a double play. Richards to Stevenson
to Foster. which cut down Meinert at
second and Lowther at first.
Marshalltown made a bid in the fifth
| when Stevenson led off with q two
Dagger, and moved to the third corner
on Kleminskrs sacrifice. Vyskocil was
called out on strikes, but Carrgan
walked and stole second. Richards
then hit to Lunte. who retired the boss
at first.
Tie Count in Sixth.
Inc sixth witnessed q neat rally by
the locals. when they tied the count.
Foster beat the throw to first after
Rolleg had dropped the third strike
and moved over base when Seiber:
outguessed Mccoy and walked. Foster
was caught off second. Rolleg to Har-
mon, but barrow came forward in the
emergency with two Dagger. Scoring
Seibert. The ball got away from
Strong, and barrow made an attempt
| to take third on the hit. He was cut
| down by Strong, however. and the play
| deprived Marshalltown Of another run
! Andreen followed with ripping two
| base drive.
Score Again Tied.
Again. in the seventh. both teams
| scored, making the count 2 all. Burling-
toms score came when Harmon lifted
one of Vyskocil's high ones over CEN
ter field fence for a homer. 1t was a
| beautiful drive, hit On q straight line
| from home plate. Fortunately 10 one
was on the bases at the time.
The Ansons came right back in their
| half. Kleminski opened with base on
balls and advanced on Vyskocirs sac
riflce hit. Carrigan produced the sin
| gle necessary to count the third base
man. On the hit and run. Richards
| was out Harmon to McGlade. Foster
singled, and Carrigan was caught at
the plate in an attemp: to score fro q!
second on the hit.
Burlington Takes the Lead.
The River Rats took the lead in the
eighth, and were never again seriously
threatened. Mccoy again caused the
disaster, hitting for two corners. after
two had been retircl. He scored Oh
Meinert's single.
To make the victory secure Manush's
braves added another In the final ses-
sion. Singleton led off with a rap 10
center fence good for half the
circuit Harmon moved him along with
a sacrifice fly to Darro =. He counted
when Strong hit over sh ,rt. The pail
should have been caught by Carrigan,
but for the fact that Stevenson went
after it and halted when he feared a
collision with the left fielder. Both
men stopped and the ball fell fair.
!, The Ansons did not threaten in the
eighth or ninth. The score:
