Waterloo hit Watkins in punches.

ured, and the wild Mr.. Davis might
not have survived half the game had
the decisions on balls and strikes been
rendered more carefully. Time after
time local batters stood at" the plate
while three balls were called, and then

! Miss Chances to Score.
! Marshalltown had the opportunities

to Neusel for the third out and there
the game terminated with Waterloo on

demon siugger played true to form

home the side meat with margin Of
one.

titled to the honors. What really
happened was a vigorous attack from
the time the first batter walked to the
plate until he was relieved at the end
! of the seventh He was clearly out OF
/ form. Ten hits were charged to him,
and some good fielding saved him from
a more serious defeat.

pitching good ball. and had Brennan
