i The Des Moines Goofs played poor
second in the final tie-up with the
Il Ansons yesterday afternoon, dropping
THE second game by a score Of 3 to 1.
This battle, scheduled for Tuesday and
declared OFF on account of rain and
cold weather, was played Wednesday
when Manager F'airweather found he
could cancel a game at Mason City,
where the grounds were reported to be
unfit for play.
The rising temperature put increased
vigor in the home aggregation. and the
200 fans who witnessed the combat
were treated to q very entertaining
practice bill. The effectiveness Of the
Marshalltown pitchers precluded any
material offensive work on the part OF
the Isbellites, while the Ansonians got
to Trapp when hits meant runs.
The game was the occasion Of Phil
Slattery's debut and, altho Lefty" was
pitching for the first time this season,
he set the Yannigans down without q
A hit in three frames. Richardson. who
isucceeded Slattery, went two FUNDS
i without the Des Moines beauties doing
ianything with the stick. Lehman and
iGruno finished the game, and the Elgin
lads pitched gilt edge ball.
i All told the Polk county nine gath
lered but four hits, and on Of these
was SO scratchy as to be painful.
1 Tennehill, known Of old as a hitless
lwonder, was responsible for two OF the
IGoors bingles which is one more hit
than he registered turnout his whole
career with the White Sox.
Wild Pegsing 10 Costly:
The house Of Richards came into its
own in the early stages, coping of
the first counter in the fourth. A safe
blow by Anderson and sacrifice by
Tommy Ryan put the first name on
/ second, and when Cahill broke in with
a timely bingle, it so upset the Des
4 Moines defense that the infield blew up
and wild pegs by Gillus and Marshall
permitted Anderson to complete the
circuit for the first run.
| A pair Of doubles and a single re-
suited in two added scores in the next
frame and put the game on ice. Milton
Ryan led the procession with smash
ling tWo.bagger, and was chased home
iby Richardson, who celebrated his first
II turn at bat with a hard9two-base hit
4 blow overs second. A single by Andef-
u son registered Richardson. There the
81 cOu ,,tanE ceased insofar - the home
Il boys were concerned.
TannshiIi Saves Shut.out.
Il Brock and Tannehill conspired in the
ninth to prevent the Ansons from
1 cleanly-earned shut-out, and managed
Ito get one run off Gruno. Brock got
away with lucky two-bagger. and
i with Tannehill following it looked like
la pipe. Lee did the unexpected, how
ever, but not until he was in the hole,
and Gruno slipped q straight one d.
rectly over the pan, which he cracked
/ for trip to first, Brock scoring on the
clout There was one down at the
time, but Tannehill got no farther than
second Gillus was out at first and
Williams was set down on strikes.
Snappy Plays Feature Game.
Slattery was robbed of a hit In the
/! third inning when he smashed hot
liner over second. Marshall was just
able to reach the ball by remarkably
high jumping feat and some unusual
acrobatics. Dietrich also came in for
applause when he took a hot liner from
woolum's bat in the fourth. The only
error Of the game for the home crowd
was charged to Cahill, but 1t was ex-
1 cusable.
The pitching Of the home team was
the best of the practice season, and
the four hurlers engaged showed ex-
cellent form and fielded their positions
neatly The Elgin lads are fast round
ing into form and showed great i'm
4 provement over their work Of Monday.
| Anderson, shifted to the outf1eld,
showed marked versatility, and gives
promise Of making dependable out
fielder should he be required to play In
that position. Dietricn's work yester-
day confirmed the earlier predictions
that he would be fixture at the third
sack. Wright was in center field,
where he had but one chance, which
he accepted nicely. NJ. Ryan appeared
lat RichardS regular station and gave
|evidences Of being good understudy
for the manager. Unger caught his
! first game and proved a clever receiver.
| Anderson Again Leads Hitters.
I Anderson kept up his good work with
| the stick, getting two safe swats with
an average Of 300. "Milt" Ryan and
Richardson each connected for two
base drives. The feature Of the batting
work was the ability of hitters to de-
liver when the blows wera needed.
The score:
