An<ons to the bitter end, the tail-end-

series Tuesday afternoon, making Il

II was d peculiar contest, the

the same number of runs on twelve
safe blows. The game was marked by
some good baseball, some ragged work.
some peculiar base running at times,
and sad break at the climax when
Torkelson was relieved by Slattery.
Torkelson Pitches Good Ball.
Torkelson pitched good ball. He al
lowed one hit-a three Dagger in the
second inning, and permitted two IL,

Marriott laced the first pitched ball for
a two-base hit, scoring Sutton, and the
bonn rdment that followed netted the
visitors four runs.
In the eighth, after having pitched
practically hitless ball, Torkelson was
found for a double, a single and a sac
rifice fly, and good peg by Snow to
retire a runner stealing second con-

SIattery Not Right.
Manager Bolye had Slattery on this
warming pan as soon as he sensed a
break in the game favorable to the
Dodgers. The day before Watkins had
pitched good ball to the eleventh, when
the Dodgers punched hits and won the
game. There was criticism because
Watkins was not taken out. Yesterday
Manager Boyle did just what every
one believed he should have done the
day before, but. unfortunately, Slattery
did not prove to be right. He was un-
able to break his curves, and was in
clned to wildness. The result was a
ninth inning defeat.
The home club had many chances to
win the game. Lane was no enigma,
and the hits made by the home outfit,
coupled with the Dodgers errors, WERE
sufficient 10 have won two or three
contests. Some rash work on the bases
was largely responsible for the small
score. This was especially true, in the
fourth when Snow attempted to score
from second on Ryan's hit and was out
by FIVE feet, due to poor coaching %
third.
Dodgers First to Score.
The Dodgers were first to break into
the score column. putting brace OF
runs over in the second inning. Hanson

infield out.
Marshalltown reduced the lead in the
fourth, scoring one after Two had been
retired. Lunte and Snow singled, the
former going to third on the latter's
hit, and the latter taking second on
the throw-in. Prough walked, filling
the bases. Ryan pulled a timely single,
scoring Lunte. Snow tried for ruj
on the same hit but was thrown out "a
the plate.
Tie Score in Sixth.
The score was evened up in the sixth,
Lee hitting safely, Lunte taking first
when Marriott erred on his attempted
sacrifice bunt, and Lee scoring on SUIT
tons error in failing to handle Proughs
grounder.
Extra base hitting was responsible
for the tally which put MarshalltoWn
in the lead in the seventh, Torkelson
polling a double and scoring on Muir
phys triple.
The Dodgers tied up the score In the
eighth. Lisy hitting for two corners,
advancing on kennedy's single ana

Snow and Prough followed with hits,
but Ryan lofted to Sutton.
Ninth Inning Bombardment
With one down in the ninth Sutton
singled, and Slattery was sent in as
relief pitcher. Marriott met the first
pitched ball for double, scoring Suit
ton. Hanson drew walk and Horan's
sacrifice fly scored Marriott. Lisy sin
gled, scoring Hanson, and took second
on the throw in. Kennedy's hit sent
Lisy home and was out at third on
nice throw from LeBeau to Eunick.
