! Garrett was saved TO face Slattery in
| the last contest in which the Clay dlg-

and he was given the most royal drub-
Dlng he has ever received from the
! local club. Garrett was particularly
anxious TO be reserved for the game
! AGAINST Slattery, as Mason City mas
not been able 10 win a game against
! the southpaw since they entered the
league. Garrett expressed great con-
fidence before the game, calling atten-
ton to the fact that Slat1ery was like
| ly to be better supported but that
little handicap would not prevent him
from breaking Slattery's spell over the
1 Claydiggers.
The result was quite contrary to the
big fellows forecast as he received
excellent support from his mates, while
the Ansons crashed everything he
could offer, and he used his entire
repertoire of curves before the game
was over.
Fast Sharp Field Game.
Despite the -sidedneSs of the
score the game was nice one for thy
spectators, owing 10 the sharp, snappy
fielding work, and especially the SEN
sational nature Of the pastiming of the
local ntield. Lunte figured in some
sensational work, one play in particu-
lar a onehanded scoop Of a hot
grounder for an assist to PrOugh,
being very thrilling in character.
EuniCk also figured in some brilliant
fielding stunts. while Snow and Fags
executed two brilliant plays in pulling
down foul balls after hard efforts.
The free hitting Of the home crew
was the most encouraging feature OF
the game. The Ansons looked like real
pennant winners and apparently have
come out of their recent batting slump.
Get to Garrett Early.
Garrett was beaten before the first
round was concluded. Two runs in
the opening inning put Slattery on
easy street. and the portsider had an
easy afternoon. He did not resort to
his hooks except on one or two occa-
sions when in pinches.
Murphy, first up hit for a base and
was sent to second on Ryan's suicide.
Eunick drew a walk and scored with
Murphy when LeBeau hit to the left
field fence for three bases. The hit
was on a line and bounding near the
fence struck the boards few inches
below the top. A half a foot higher
the ball would have cleared the slabs
for home run.
