Cedar Rapids and the Ansons clashed
| in their last double header Of the sea
son Wednesday, Cedar Rapids romping
| off with the first by to 3. and the
| Ansons winning the second to 0. The
misplays the Ansons made and the in
effectiveness Of Lynch's pitchers, ex-
| GLIDING Beard, made it comparatively
easy for Cedar Rapids to bunch hits
and win easily.
Led by $500 Slattery, who has had
few better days, the Ansons turned on
the visitors In the second game and
nipped their ambition for three
straight. Slattery's support was on
| par with his pitching, and his team
mates made victory easier by bunch
| ing their hits.
First Game Slow and Ragged.
The first game was slow and, insofar
as the Ansons were concerned, raggedly
played. Lynch tried White again on
the slab. This time he lasted three
innings, when two doubles and a single
were punched on him and Lynch wig
i wagged him to the bench. Presumably
short Of pitchers. Lynch called Sears
in to pitch. He lasted nearly whole
inning, or long enough to pass four.
Beard was then called to the rescue,
and he subdued Herbert's men with
one hit in the remain FIVE innings.
Mellinger was twirling for Cedar
Rapids. The Ansons hit him enough,
but their nine blows were spread
thinly over six innings, and quite ma
turallv failed to produce many runs.
Cedar Rapids refused to give any aid
by making misplays or errors, which
made the Ansons' task more diff
cult.
Many Foolish Plays,
The Ansons were guilty Of many
foolish breaks. Included among them
was Sears forgetfulness that the bases
were full when he retired from the
slab to give way for Beard. Sears laid
the ball on the ground near the mound.

from the all toward left field. the base
