Especial to The Gate Cityl
BURLINGTON, Iowa, June 25.-The
Red Sox got ample revenge for their
two defeats at Keokuk while on the
last road trip, by beating Boyle's
crew here yesterday by a 5 to 0 count.
The contest was Burlington's from
the very first. McCulloch, who had
been selected by the Indian manager
to go the distance for the Dam City
crowd. was touched up in the very
first frame for a few hits and those
said few hits combined with an error,
a base on balls and a double steal
= H. 10 L.
Bunk worked for the Drohns and
work out Of several dangerous looking
having allowed the visitors only six
blows. He was backed by sterling
support and it was in some degree
due to that fact that he was able to
score shut-out to his credit.
Morgan was the hitting hero of the
day. He came to the plate four
times, got two walks. home run and
a two base hit. His two base drive
was what might be called gift. He
hit high fly just back Of second and
while LIE Beau, Swick and Hollocher
were doffing their caps and playing
the alfonso and CASTOR act, Morgan
drifted to second and the ball fell
safely behind the bag. The blow should
have been an easy out but counts for
two Dagger in any league.
Meinert got one good long drive
that went to the clock in center field
and counted for three bases. Rolleg
was there with two hits and for the
visitors, lie Beau was the hero. He
slammed out two safeties. one of
which went for two sacks. Swick
also got a two base knock, but all the
hits came at inopportune moments
and the home plate was uncrossed by
the invading foot.
In the fourth frame the Indians
looked dangerous for a time. LIE Beau
led off with a two base hit and could
get no further than third when Swick
singled to right. There were two on
and it looked as If score was sure.
Bunk frightened up and pitched in
real big league style, with the result
that the next three men went out in
order, one of them through the strike
out method, and the inning ended
scoreless.
Harvey, Baum and Hollocher were
guilty of kicks, but it was only the
one made by the first named that
cost a run or that led indirectly to a
count for the Red Sox. The scores
were the result Of good, hard and
timely hitting.
