Harry Bays cellar champions and
the Ansons appeared in an alleged
baseball game on the home lot, Tues
day afternoon, and after ten innings
OF listless play. time was called with
the Baymen leading by a score OF TO
4. AS an exhibition of the national
pastime, it was nil. Neither pitcher
was effective and their support was
the most miserable seen locally since
this city became member of the Cen
trail Association. At times Tonneson
settled to his work and pitched good
ball but in the pinches he proved
easy for the visitors. In the tenth ne
was beaten to death by the assault OF
the Mason City batters. Despite Mar
shailtown's numerous errors, there was
a possibility that, after the home team
had tied the score in the ninth, the
game might have been pulled out OF
the fire had Tonneson been relieved.
To the fans there was absolutely no
excuse for his remaining on the firing
line when there was the chance OF tax
ing the game from the visitors.
