! Presenting two air tight exhibitions
of the national pastime before mag

noon. the keokuk Indians and the
Ansons divided honors, the home boys
annexing the first contest after ten
innings of spectacular baseball, to l.
and Boyle's outfit taking the afterpiece,
> to 0. the latter game going for eight
frames without either side registering
a count.
For splendid fielding the first battle
was as grand an exhibition as has ever
been staged on the local pasture. Inc
gilt edged defense of the AnsonS may
be seen in the box score, which shows
fifty chances accepted in the one game,
without a misplay. Marshailto"n

home.
Hits Scarce as Hens Teeth.
For the next four innings the Ansons
failed to get a safe hit, and it was not
until the fifth that the Boyle tribe
registered a blow against Richardson.
Holocher, who by the way proved the
battle giant of the afternoon despite his
diminutive stature, opened the fifth
with a three base drive to right. but he
expired at third while the next three
batters were wasting their efforts.
Again. in the seventh, this same
dwarfed athlete came thru with a
double, with one Indian on the paths
ahead of him. but the boys from down
the river failed to send run across.
Meanwhile the Ansons were making
no better showing in their offensive
game, Hammerschmidt drawing the
only hit between the opening chapter

his team an opening with his two-base
swat, and went to third on Richardson's
out at first. He endeavored too much,
however. and was winged at the plate.
Harris hit to Baum, who dropped the
ball. but Lindberg forced Richardson
for the second out. Harris stole third
and then Martini was purposely walked,
for the third out.

Holocher was fast asleep at third for
the second retirement, and Mccullough
drew pass. Asher was thrown out at
first, retiring the side.
The home team did nothing in their
half but in the tenth Hammerschmidt,
Slattery, and Harris acted as principal
performers in staging wrecking
scene, the first named bringing home
the needed score to win. Hammer
