AS usual DaShner and jackson
We're the heroes of the first game.
Dashner pitched a steady flowing
brand of ball and held the Izzies to
five hits in spite of the fact that his
curves were not up to standard.

NAL was touched for doubles by Des
Moines batters and each time the 2
base sluggers died in their tracks.
Many VINO saw the game will always
think it should have been q smut out.

In the seventh inning when the
league leaders made their brace of
scores, Jones, the first man up, was
called safe at first when it looked as
by a good margin. Ewoldt walked
and Hartford grounded out. Bills,
next up, hit sacrifice fly to Brown
The big Moose made a perfect peg
caught at the plate if Fisher had not
stopped the ball. However, those who
think Dashner should have had a
shut out, contend that Jones would
not have been On the bases # Van
SICKLE had called EN- accurately
E,woldt scored the second run in the
same inning on Breen's single through

Jackson's spectacular play came in

two triples that were essential in the
manufacture of three runs.
Isben Chased.

and he was PIT off the field in thu

lost control of himself over the inn

his wrath on Umpire Van SICKLE with
out cause.

The second Game.
The second game was cut to a seven
inning affair by agreement and the
fans made no complaint as most OF
them were anxious to get to warmer
locality
For the first five innings it was a
pitchers battle with Higgins and
Thomas dividing the honors $3.50
Both held their opponents to one hit
and the only edge Higgins had was
that he had famed six while Tom
my had only whitfield one.
In the sixth frame, however, the
Izzies got to the Topeka twirler and
harvested their four runs. Graham
led off with a single that went between
higgins legs. Thomas sacrificed and
Hahn grounded out Hunter hit one
through second that was too hot for
