FRANKIE. AS on two previous days both
teams were on edge for the first battle
and fighting spirit and even bitter ami
mostly, at times, was shown.
Both teams fought every inch of the
ground in the first contest, which
proved to be one Of the prettiest games
of the season. Great credit is due
Slattery for the game he pitched, blu,
Pinkerton proved virtually as effective
The local star proved the gamer anc
more efficient in the pinches. At crit
cal times Siattery showed good head
work and his work on the heavier
Musky batters was classy. The de-
| tective man was unfortunate in having
the million dollar infield supported by
Boss" Egan and his good angel blow
up in the pinches.
Runser, picked as the association
all-star shortstop. was the chief Of
fender. having three errors, and Eli
son, the crack third sacker, who IS to
be expressed to Detroit, carriage free
at the close Of the season, contributed
to Pinker.on's downfall. During the
present series these two stars, who are
| touted as the best in the circuit, made
a remarkable showing in fielding.
Runser in the series had an average
| of .727. and Ellison was a shade above
| him, with 1873.
Errors Figure Prominently.
Barring the fielding errors the
pitchers were on even terms as TO hits
and strikeouts. but Slattery showed
better judgment in his pitching and
vas more effective in the critical
stages.
! Marshalltown's errors were costly
altho not as numerous as those Of the
visitors While the Eganites' errors
| were costly they were not more SO
than those of the Ansons, owing to
the fact that some carelessness in
base running robbed the home team OF
an added run. or possibly more.
Pinkerton showed signs of aeroplan-
ing twice. when his support failed
Slattery, on the other hand, was
stronger when the Muskies threatened

his nerve and skill by striking out
