Patrick Flanagan, the white hope OF
Muscatine, carefully groomed for the
opening game of the Marsha!ltown-
Musky series. showed the good effect
OF the rest cure Tuesday afternooa
when he halted Marshalltown and hung
a 7-to-2 defeat on the home team. For
eight long innings the brawny Celt
looked like a big Lacquer, holding the
locals to two hits, both of which We're
registered by Murphy. In the ninth,

Ulch. on the mound for the locals,
started away brilliantly, and for three
innings the battle was fought on even
terms. The break came in the fourth,
when some ragged fielding, coupled
with timely hitting, gave the Eganltes
d two-run lead. Thereafter there was
little doubt as to the outcome. Musca-
tine piled up the runs, while Marshall

Flanagan Groomed For Game.
Flanagan had been carefully pre-
pared for the game. He was permitted
to take life easy while his mates were
battling Waterloo. He was given COM
plete rest away from the strike and
worries of the ball park. The effect
-
the proverbial fox. His success o.
Tuesday, and the rest given him prior
to the present series, leads to the oellei
that he will be sent to the firing line
again for the closing game Thursday.
BY reason of the defeat of Tuesday
and the victory Of the orphaned Path
finders over Waterloo, Marshalltown
again dropped back to third position.
Martini, Durham, ct Al.
The game Tuesday almost took on
the spirit Of a family reunion, with
Martini and Durham in the combat.
The former failed to fatten his batting
average, but he drew pass and hit
fly ball TO deep left, which afforded
LeBeau III opportunity for a spec
tacular fielding chance when he
dragged the ball off the fence. Dur
ham had better luck with the hickory,
driving out two clean singles.

son at the plate. Martini stole second,
prostrating Nespo when he hurled him
self into the bag. feet first, causing the
shortstop to drop the ball. O'Day sin
gled, and Martini rounded third, only
to be caught flat footed off the bag.
After some jockeying, in which several
of the players participated, and which
looked like a certain retirement Of the
former Marshalltown outfielder, Snow
hit the runner with the ball and ne
scrambled back to the bag. Hasbrook
then delivered the needed hit, which
scored Martini and O'Day.
