whose work has been attracting
the attention Of major league
scouts, hurled the marshalltown crew to

Mike" Flanagan assembled the mound
and allowed one blow, a long double by
Broderick who was thrown out in an
effort to stretch the hit into a triple.
Bull" Durham, one Of the new An
sons, yesterday gave local fans one OF
the finest swatting exhibitions ever
witnessed here, and his work with the
stick was such as to dispel any opin-
ion that his record Of twenty-five cir
cult drives at Oshkosh last year is In
correct. After putting the ball over the
center field fence three times in batting
practice, the huge player stepped to
the plate in the first inning, after Har-
ris had walked. Ryan had sacrificed,
and Sears had skied out, and slammed
out one of the longest hits ever seen
hereabouts. The ball sailed thru the
air like q shot out of a cannon, and
did not stop until it had passed the
left center field fence and dropped IN
the middle OF the slough. Despite the
fact that the drive meant much trouble
for the tMuskies, in view OF the fact
that Slattery is not an easy man to
beat, Durham was loudly applauded
after he had completed the trip around
the bases.

Slattery's mound work was all that
could be asked for. The clever side

fourth inning, and would have scored

plate In the fourth. Only nine Musktes

first, second and third innings and af-
