Waterloo, June 20. Waterloo won
the final game of the series with the
Ansons by taking advantage of Wat
kins' wildness in the first few innings
Of play, the deciding frame being the
fourth, when four runs were registered
by the Shamrocks. The final count was
8 to 2. Marshalltown drove out as
many safeties during the afternoon,
but the Ansons were unable to bunch
them after the first inning. Neusel
was in trouble several times, but es-
capped with the assistance of some fast
fielding.

Watkins on the slab, as his twirlers
have been worked hard during the past
few days. Slattery and Ulch pitched

have got away in the first inning but
