The superiority of the champions
over Egans Looms was never more
clearly demonstrated than Sunday aft
ernoon, when Boyle's pennant chasers
chopped double header from the Wa
terloo spirants for <he title rag. Only
once, in the first inning of the first
game, did the visitors have the edge.
After that one endeavor they quit and
the champions played circles around
them. The double killing was before a
large Sunday crowd, which included
many admirers of the Looms who came
to the city to see Egan's major leasuers
humble the Ansons. Egan did his best
to please his home folks, and altho he
called on some of his many reserves he
was unable to stop the champions once
they took the bit.
Mighty stick work by the champs
turned the trick in both exhibitions,
the first resulted in a score OF l. TO
), and the second, to /.
Give Looms Good Handicap.
Altho Kelley was given a margin of
five runs in the first inning, the sham
rock was helpless. The Looms were CIV
en- a good handicap to make the game
but after his one bad inn
ing Torkelson turned the Looms back
in the remaining eight frames and was
not often worried by men on bases
The one inning. however, was hap
Ply one for the Loon fanatics. Torkel-
son could not get his splitter" work
ing, the ball refusing to break properly.
Two singles, two doubles and triple
netted the Looms five runs in the one
frame and 20 all appearances the Egan-
ties had the gave won. But Torkelson
came back a new man in the next ses-
sion and held the visitors to five scat
tered hits the rest of the way.
In the meantime the champions went
after KELLEY and the harp got lacine
such as has not been administered him
before this year. The Ansons found
Kelley for twelve hits. It'll a total OF
twenty bases. Lee was the main per-
former with the ash, getting home
run, a triple and two singles in five
times up.
Murphy Again Stars.
AS on Saturday, Murphy was the star
in field work, making one especially
brilliant play when he caught R. Mil
ler's fly to short center after long
and spirited chase. Two other fancy
plays marked the contest. one in the
fifth, when Torkeison partially knocked
down r. NJ ,ller's CrJve. which Durkin
succeeded in fielding in time to nip the
base runner &, first, and another in the
sixth, when Eunick made a circus stop
Of Sohns bounder fora retirement at
first base.
