Cecil Thompson Does Not Al
low a Hit During Five
Rounds on Mound.
cURRIE PERMITS BUT TWO

Superb hurting by Cecil Thompson
and Murphy Currie enabled the
Rourkes to trounce Des Moines, 6 to
2, in an uncomfortably cold Sabbath
combat yesterday afternoon,
Thompson, during five rounds on
the mound, failed to allow Coffey's
men one hit, while Currie allowed but
two during the four innings he
worked and one of them, double by
Coffey, followed two walks and per-
mitted the Boosters tallies.
Incidentally the Rourkes have not
lost an exhibition game this year.
The count of preseason games reads
eight victories for the Rourkes and
10 defeats.
While Thompson and Currie were
holding the Boosters safe, their
mates hammered young Kinsey for
six runs. Brokaw and lrelan did the
heavy smuggling.
Shag Thompson and Cy Forsythe
pulled off couple of nifty plays for
,he shivering fans. Shag's contribu-
ton was a great one-handed catch of
line drive by Hunter Forsythe's
occurred when Kinsey hit safe blow
into right. Kinsey, believing it was
a hit as it should have been, trotted
toward first, but he arrived too late.
Forsythe fielded the ball and threw
lin out with perfect peg.
The Rourkes start west today to
open the season in Denver Wednes-
day. Games will be played at Grand
