baseball the Arson defense broke in
Thursdays game, and the keokuk In
dams were presented with q gift run IN
the eighth, resulting in another unde-
served defeat for "Phir Slattery by a
score Of 1 to 0. Keokuk had but one
chance to score and the fact that 1t
did was principally due to the nerve OF
Brown, who took & long chance and
got the break Of the lucl;.
It might be saidN the game was twice
lost, once when tn, Ansons seemed de-
termined to send u run across only to
have Harris do the wrong thing in the
pinch, and again when Martini In
truded in Brodericks territory and
messed play which paved the way for
the Indians lone tally.
sIattery Pitches Great Game.
Slattery pitched a grand game and
deserved to win. Bixby. however.
proved effective, and. altho he was hit
harder than the Arson twirlcr, proved
master Of the situation in pinches.
Twice the Ansons had opportunities to
score, only to have batters fail in the
pinch. The first opening came III the
first frame when, with two down. BOYD
walked and Martini doubled. With the
run waiting on third, HammerschMtde
struck out.
Again in the seventh, with one out.
Ryan walked and Slattery singled, but
Harris, under instructions to hit the
ball, waited for a call Of three balls and
no strikes, and seemed destined to
walk. but was suddenly seized with
desire to pull the unexpected and at
tempted to lay down a bunt. He
swung on ball which might have
given him a base had he waited. He
hit to Bixby and was thrown cut at
first. With runners on second and
third, Broderick was set down on
strikes.
Waste Hits in Ninth.
More judicious base running in the
ninth might have given the home club
Richardson was thrown out at second
followed by single, but Slattery drove
a long fly to LeBeau for the third
out.
Luck figured prominently against
Slattery insofar as the hitting of his
mates was concerned. Five times line
drives were driven at the Keokuk In
field for outs, two resulting in spec
tacular catches. The most sensational
Of these was the great catch Of Harvey.
when he robbed Ryan Of what ap-
peared to be sure hit by leaping high
in the air and spearing the ball in his
gloved hand.
Indians Have One chanes.
To the Indians there came but one
long chance and 1t proved the break
Of the game. Up to the eighth Stat.
terry had allowed but two hits, both
secured by LeBeau. At no time had
the visitors appeared dangerous, and it
was evident that single rim would
determine the Issue. In the eighth.
however, Martini spilled the beans by
his mad desire to cover more territory
than had been allotted him, and he
dashed over in front Of Broderick to
handle Browns grounder, reaching the
ball only to push 1t away from the
waiting shortstop. The bobble gave
Brown life and Harvey's out at first
sent the Indian catcher to second
Brown seized upon what appeared
to be his only chance to put his team
in front and, never hating at the key
stone sack. tore for third. Richard
son made wild relay to third. which
Martini failed to block, and Brown
continued to the plate with the only !
run OF the game.
New Players in Lins-U
Broderick. the new shortstop. played
! nice game, accepting the few chances
ne had neatly and backing up the bags
IN excellent fashion. He singled and
1rew pass in four trips to the plate.
