Wins Third Time Straight
From, Keokuk EIecfrics at
NauUoo OF, Saturday Aft
noon

The Renaud silver trophy cup is
the property now and forever OF the
Mississippi River Power company's
champion team.
The power house nine, by its seven
to nothing win over the keokuk Elec-
tries at Nauvoo on Saturday after
noon came into possession of the
trophy, which was to go to the team
winning it three times. Saturdays
win was the third for the power
house team--in the three years that
the cup has been up.
After the third inning, the power
house nine. had the game practically
sewed up and the Electrics had only
a ghost of a chance from then on.
The uptown nine fought till the last
out, however, and went down to de-
feat, battling gamely.
The power house team won because
of two things, pitching and smuggling.
Williams, who won last years tilt
over .Rube" Burch, must have had
all the stuff in the world. for he
only allowed two measIey bingles, and
one walk. while twelve of the uptown
players succumbed to his curves. Will
liams pitched like a house afire from
start to finish, and although there |
were many predictions that he would |
not last at the gait he set at the |
start, he closed the game with a
Strikeout.

The Trio of sIusgers.

Y Timely smuggling tells the rest Of
the tale Murray of Central associa-
ton fame, pounded out two triples. a
double and single out Cf four times
at bat; King was responsible for an
,Other three Dagger and single, while
Harrington, the third of the trio Of
heavy hitters, pulled down double
and two singles. The hits came at
Timely intervals and because Of this
were extra effective. While the power
house fielders covered the ground in
lively manner. the Electric garden
ers were not SO fast on their feet
and a score or two was allowed that
might have been shut off.
The player who pulled OF the star
stunts of the game was Second Base
man Sisley of the Keokuk Electrics.
In the fifth frame he made a run
way out into right field and grabbed
Young's fly, while in the sixth he
made sprint to center to gather in
Williams offering. besides other spec
tacular fielding stunts.

In this first frame, Crown gave evil

hand. for, although Murray stared
out with triple, he died on third.
while Harrington and Young were
tanning out.

single and went to second on a wild
throw by the pitcher, but died there
when McQuade popped out. The

present was looking for battle royal.
Dope Upset in Third.
The M. r. P.'s, however, upset the
dope in the third by drilling in three
runs with good heavy stick work.
After Williams had grounded out,
King began the slaughter with a
triple and came home on Harring-
tons single. Danny scored when Muir
ray punched the apple for another
three spot and a sacrifice fly by
~ Dung brought Murray across the
plate for the third and last run. MiIey

chance to score. Sisley lived on a
muf by the right fielder and hot
footed it for second, going to third
on an infield out. Two strike onts
ended the session. before he could
squeeze in the run that would have
annihilated the goose egg.
