In a great pitching battle which
was extended to fourteen innings
Bunk won a decision from Slattery
Sunday afternoon, Burlington, with
the break of the luck, taking the sec
ond game Of the series by score OF
to g.
Costly errors were mainly respon-
sible for the runs scored by both
teams. Luck apparently deserted
Slattery. and the horseshoe was in the
keeping of the visitors for the day.
Slattery pitched great ball, keeping
the hits scattered, allowing no safe
blows between the seventh and the
fourteenth inning, and retiring eleven
batters on strikes. In the third, now
ever, he paved the way for the first
brace of scores by issuing two passes
In the seventh a single. a walk. and an
intield hit filled the bases but a rapid
double retirement pulled Slattery out
of the hole. This was the only in
stance where the luck broke with the
portsider.
Bunk Keeps Blows Scattered.
AS for the Burlington lad he pitched
a mastery game and deserved to win.
He kept the home boys hits scattered
and allowed free passages TO but two
batters, and one of these walked on
orders from the Burlington mosui.
Bunk improved as the game aged, but
he was touched for an earned run in
the closing session, when Nespo in
jected a timely double into the pro-
gram
Burlington was on the verge OF pull
ing over the winning run in the tenth,
when MARI walked and stole second
but Lee saved the game temporarily
when he stabbed Thiesing's long drive
with his mitted hand near the right
field fence.
Two Miserable Innings.
In two innings batters We'd with each
other in a contest to see who could
play the poorer ball. The Marshall
town bad inning was the third, when
Burlington scored two runs, and the
Pathfinders Got rid Of their stored up
erratic baseball in the sixth, when
Marshalltown tied the score.
Slattery struck out two men in the
first and three in the second. Harmon,
Thiesing and Morgan going down in
row in the latter inning. Then the
third produced grand reversal OF
form. Boelzle walked and was sac
rificed to second by Baichley. Bunk
also passed and Meinert beat out an
inf1eld hit filling the bases. Boelzle
scored when Eunick erred on Mars
yrounder. and Bunk counted when
Stanley hit for a base.
MarshaIItown Ties Score.
Burlington maintained the lead until
the sixth. when Marshalltown tied the
score, I'd to the sixth there was vir-
tually no chance to count, so master
full was the hurting of Bunk. In the
sixth, however, the visiting players
handed the home lads pair with their
compliments, some poor infeld work
being responsible for both runs, altho
Boyle's lads pulled some crafty and
daring base running.
Murphy hit safely and went to third
on LeBeau's single. Lee fouled out to
Stanley and LeBeau pulled for second
after the catch. Stanley cut loose a
wild peg, Murphy tearing home, scor-
ing the first run. LeBeau took third
as Murphy scored. LeBeau drew a
throw, which Morgan failed to hold,

Battle Royal to Finish.
Henceforth the battle was intense.
Both teams showed offensive strength
at times, but neither had the neces-
sary punch to land. Snow singled in
the ninth. was sacrificed to second BY
Prough and Lunte was purposely
passed, but Nespo hit into double
play. In the tenth Eunick singled,
stole second. and went to third on
Murphy's out at first. LeBeau drew
a base and stole second, but Lee ended
the inning by hitting to Morgan for
an out at first.
An error by Lunte paved the way
for the winning scores in the four
teenth. He bobbled Morgan's ground
ball and Boelzle singled. Hits by
Baichley and Meinert sent both
runs in.
The home team threatened to tie in
the closing half. Lunte getting single
and Nespo hitting for two bases for
one run. Slattery and Eunick were
thrown out at first. The score:
