The Ansons made 1t three straight
from Ottumwa Thursday, winning the
final game of the home series, 10 to 4.
The victory was won much after the
same fashion as those Of the two pre-
ceding days, Marshalltown continually
whaling the ball, and Ottumwa aiding
the local athletes in getting scores by
wierd fielding stunts in the intield and
lack of judgment of outfielders in play
ing fly balls.
Egan trotted out his premier hurler
for the final tie-up, but the great Bet
sell was found for more hits than eth
er Of his predecessors. At that he
should have met better fate, for he
was pitching nicely up to the fatal
eighth inning. the game being close
ly- contested one for seven frames.
Wobbly support took the edge off the
pitcher, causing him to weaken in
pinches.
Slattery was hit freely, but his sup
port for the most part was excellent.
He was credited with nine strike-outs.
Ansons on Hitting Spree.
During the Ottumwa series the An
sons have been on a hitting spree. The
three games netted them thirty -four
runs, enough to have won half a dozen
ordinary games. Forty-two hits were
garnered from the three Ottumwa
pitchers, good for fifty nine bases. The
Ansons connected for two home runs
and five triples during the series
some batting"
Cardigan, erstwhile Ansonian, made
very mediocre showing in the series.
He failed to hit in the first two games,
but broke in Thursday for two singles,
which figured in the Speed Boys run
getting. In the field his work was
anything but brilliant, as he repeated
ly misjudged fly balls, which per-
mitted batters to gather extra bases.
Features Of Last Game.
The fielding feature of the last game
was the rapid thought work of Man.
ager Richards in the fifth inning, when
he cut down run and pulled the
team out Of hole, after an apparently
slow piece Of work had permitted Ken
sci to reach first. Reinhart was on
second when Kensel hit 20 second. The
chance was a hard one, and Kensel
was jumping with such rapidity that
lit looked like an even break that he
would reach first before the throw.
Reinhart. in the meantime tore for
third as Richards turned to throw to
first. Reinhart, expecting the play at
the initial sack. rounded third and took
good. lead toward home, and then
Richards surprised the Eganites by
whirling suddenly and pegging to
Hunter. The play caught Reinhart off
the bag. Andreen, Hunter. Marriott
and Richards moved in for the play
and after passing the ball back and
forth several times. Reinhart was
driven back toward third, Richards
getting the putout.
seibert Hits For Homer.
The real feature, was the hard hitting
of the home squad. Seibert was the
hits in five trips to the plate. One of
his swats was for a home run over
deep center field fence. Marriott made
even a more worthy effort when he
raped out a three Dagger with all the
corners occupied. Andreen also hit
for three corners.
The last game witnessed more shifts
in the Ottumwa lineup. George Pen
nington, released by Cedar Rapids
Wednesday. was signed by Egan
Thursday morning and appeared at
third. Seneff was moved to first to
replace Evans, who has been traded
to Waterloo for Pitcher Wilkus.
