Sunday the Ansons showed a complete
reversal of form yesterday and took
the count in the opening game with
Clinton IA to /. 1t was the poorest
exhibition offered by the locals in many
moons and the worst defeat suffered
gained.
Three things contributed to the de-
feat of the Ansons-the ragged work
of the home infeld, the terrific bat
ting of the visitors and the effective
ness of Droham for the Pilots. The lat
ter might have been eliminated and still
the home outfit would have had no
chance, but had the Ansons played
their usual game their chances for vic
tory would have been slim as two runs
were enough to give the visiting
moundsmen a victory.

SO terrific was their hitting. The home
team flew their kite early in the per

majority of the errors but the outfield-

be classed as good defensive baseball,
being guilty of errors of omission.
