Muscatine, May 22.-ln his 1916 de-

S,atterv. Marshalltown's clever south
paw, allowed the locals only five scat
tered hits and displayed mid-season
form in the pinches. The result was
a-to-0 victory for the visitors. Gin
Lee, former Musky, now catching LOT
Marshalltcwn, was a big factor in the
visitors success. scoring TWO OF the
three runs credited 70 the Ansons, ana
performing in favorable style behind
the bat
AS 4 result OF rain. the game was
held back twenty five minutes ana the
diamond was far from being IN gooc
condition for classy eAh!p!H!oA'
Nothing more than the sad rain was
the source of an error Wh!ch gave
the visitors their first run in the open
ing round. Another boot on the fourth
paved the way for the second marker,
and a misplay in the sixth aided the
Ansons in scoring for the third time.
Bill" Rojas, who opened on the
mound for the NJ uSkies, was touched
for seven clouts in five innings. With
the bases full il the Muskles' hai-
of the fifth frame, the younSster was
removed for a pinch hitter, Pinkerton,
whose best was a strlheout. FTanke
then finished the game and yielded
two blows for one tally.
Pitchers Error Scores One.
After Eunick had gone down on
liner to Ellison, Murphy beat out
burt to Runser and went to second
on LeBeau's out. Durham hit one
straight into Rojas' hands, and the
pitcher then showed generosity oy
heaving the ball over Hasbrooks head
and allowing Murphy to score. Dur
ham reaching second. Lee flew out TO
Reinharr to end the inning.
Lee, first up IN the fourth, lined
single to center field. and Prough
skied to Wall. Blank hit safely n
Sours, who fumbled the ball and per-
mitted the runner to gain an extra
sack, Lee advancing to third. Ryan's
fly to Reinhar. sent Lee home, Blank
dying at second when Slattery aired
out to O'Day.
In the sixth Lee, who was the first
batter to face FRANKIE. was given
pass Prough sacrificed and Blank hit
II Wall, who booted the ball with the
result that Lee crossed the plate for
the second time and the shortstop
reached second. Ryan and Slattery
were easy outs.
SIattery Shows Speed.
The Muskies had several opportuni-
ties to break into the score column
but, in each instance, the Arson
southpaw demonstrated too much
stuff and worked himself out of the
danger zones without much difficulty.
The Eganites had the bases full with
only one down il the fifth, but efforts
to score We're fruitless. After Sours
had grounded out, Hasbrook was nit
by/a pitched bali and O'Day was safe
on Blanks muf Of line drive.
Hruska walked to clog the sacks.
Pinkerton was then summoned for
pinch hitting duty but the twirler was
unable to connect. Slattery adding him
d. to mis- list Of striksouts. Runser lifted
a fly to LeBeau TO bring the threat
ened rally to a conclusion.
Sours, who opened the seventh,
walked and reached second on Has
brooks smash 20 center. O'Day fol-
lowed with a roller TO the pitcher, who
threw to Eunick to get Sours. The
third sacker dropped the hail. but sue
ceeded in tagging Sours, who had
passed the bag about six feet, evident
" thinking errors were Impossible.
Here, Slattery showed old-tirne form
by whiting Hruska mad FRANKIE.
Runser opened the eighth with a
safety. and Retnhart went out on 4
fly to Blank. Elison's grounder
bounced of Slattery's shns for q sin
gle. but again the Muskies failed in
the pinch, Wall breezing and Sours
grounding out
Muskies Easy For Siattery.
The last time the Nuskies ard Mar
shalltown met. in August Of last year,
Slartery was me Marshalltown pitch
er, and ne established a league etrIke-
out record On that occasion by
whiting nineteen Slattery has al
ways been an enigma to Musca tine,
