leading MuskieS, and compensated IN
part for the poor showing of the home
lads against the Fort Dodge aggrega-
ton on its last appearance here.
Boyle's Musky chasers took both ends
of the double header. taking the first
after an uphill battle, to 3, and VIM
ming the second, a seven inning con-
test, by a score of l to 0. The first eN-
hibltion was hard on the nerves, errors
being mainly responsible for the three
lun lead given the visitors, and COM
pelling Slattery to work under handl-
CAP, but was finally won on some weird
pastiming which more than duplicated
anything that the home gang eHhlplteu
in the early stages.
The second was a peculiar contest IN
that the Ansons got the verdict altho
kimmel. a newcomer in the Dodgef
ranks. held them to one lone hit.
Wild Baseball as Appetizer. .
AS an appetizer for the good base
ball which was to be served later in
the day, the home lads pulled some
wild baseball in the early innings OF the
first game. Slattery was slow in get
ting down TO the hard work OF the
game. and before the second frame had
fairly started the Dodgers were spank
ing the ball right merrily and paved
the way for three TALES, which looked
his enough to decide all bets. Then, as
Slattery settled down to the grind. MS
battery mate ridded himself of a bum
peg TO third. which let two runs across
the pan. Three runs were scored be-
fore a man had been retired. and Stat
terry then whitfield two and forced the
third TO ground out. Lunte to Prough

After the one poor round Slatterv
had perfect mastery OF the opposition.
Two singles. one in the fifth and one
in the eighth, were all the visitors Sc
cured thereafter. AS the game aged II
was only question Of whether the
home bunch could connect with Dash
ner's delivery to an extent Of run pro-
duction, and the fourth session saw the
locals pound out two tallies. The
eighth resulted in the rout Of the Tur-
geon gang, two hits, a sacrifice and
some eccentric fielding netting three
runs.
Short Session "Some Came"
affair, staged to make up >the game
postponed from Tuesday, was a snappy
contest. with both pitchers going nicely
with honors about even. The visitors
were more fortunate in placing their
hits, but less successful in making
them count.

Kimmel looked like real pitcher.
insofar as the efforts of the Ansons
were concerned, altho he did not sno"
any variety of curves, no abundance
of speed, nor an unusual delivery. He

his mates aided materially in prevent
ing the Ansons from registering more
hits.
Keeps Visitors Hits Scattered.
Des Jardien was in no trouble thru
out the game. The four hits of the
visitors were so widely distributed as
to be perfectly useless to them, Han
sor's triple in the fourth, with two
down, being the only blow which gave
promise of proving dangerous. Twice
after the Dodgers had put men on the
paths by hitting. Dies Jardien whitfield

The feature of the afternoon was the
sensational catch by LeBeau, doubtless
the greatest play of the season on the
home grounds 1t came in the sixth,
when Sutton drove high foul back 81
the automobile parking. LeBeau, play
ing well TO the center of his pasture,
tore for the tall grass, circled back OF
the cars, and while at full speed eX-
tended his bare hand and clutched the
ball His speed was SO great that ne
was unable to stop until he had raced
well back toward the automobile gate.
Works Under Handicap.
As is customary when Slattery
bitches, the visitors were given lead
in the early innings. and the side
wheeler was forced to work under
handicap until the close of the game.
Hanson opened the second inning Win
a clean single, and Koran beat out
bunt in attempting to sacrifice. Lisy
poled a single scoring Hanson. Koran
went to third and Lisy TO second on
the throw-in Snow then attempted to
wing Koran off third, but the throw
was wide. the ball going to left field,
Koran and Lisy both scoring. Slattery
then slipped dark ones over for Tur-
geon and Erloff, and Dashner rolled
an easy one to Lunte for an out at
first. After that stanza the Dodgers
were inactive.
Begin Uphill Fight.
Up to the fourth Marshalltown didn't
have a look-i in. Ryan saw first in the
opening frame when he singled, and
Slattery went to the first station in the
third on a walk. Collective hitting
was not a feature until the fourth,
when a base on balls paved the way
for some reckless work with the ash.
Eunick was recipient of the gift trans
portation, and Lunte's double rode him
to third. LeBeau hit a rainbow to
Koran, his sacrifice fly scoring Eunick.
Lee met straight one for base
drive. Lunte scoring.
Murphy singled in the fifth, but dieo
on first. In the sixth Lunte and Lee
hit safely, but Prougf1 hit into a double
