more or less justified had the decision

and reckoned with apart from similal
decisions turnout the contest which
favored first one side and then the
other was that Clemens had been re-
tired on strikes before he singled

Clemens swung at an offering which
split the heart of the pan, sending il
to right field for base knock, scor-
ing Cameron from second. The Jacks
acquiesced in the umpire's decision
only when he walked off the field, re-
fusing to hold a jury trial on his judg-
ment. The final result was to in
favor of the champions.

up perceptibly and their fielding be-
came cratic.
Manager Andrews Pitches.
Manager whitley" Andrews, claim
ing no connection with DR.. Jay, late
Of Cedar Rapids, chose himself for
mound service, and his selection proved
a wise one AS on Wednesday the
champions had difficulty in connect
ing with the pill successfully and up
to the last three rounds failed to get
any of the breaks Of the game.
Lefty Higgins opposed Andrews
and pitched very good ball. His sup
port turnout was better than that &C
corded the Jack boss, but the Jacks
had the better results in hitting, luck
favoring them.
Lacrosse Again Gets Lead.
Lacrosse had two runs across before
the champions could tally. The hrst
man up in the fourth hit for three
bases and the lead-off gent in the next
frame did the same thing. Both scored.
The two runs were most imposing at
the time for the rain threatened to halt
the game before it could progress be
yond the fifth inning. The champions,
however, punched their hits in the last
half of the fifth, tieing the score, and
thus preventing loss Of the game be-
cause of rain at the end of the NTH
frame.
Collins hit to right field fence for
three bases in the fourth and scored
on Thiesing's sacrifice fly. Here was
real break of luck, for Collins Is not
right field hitter and not an excep-
tionally dangerous man.
In the fifth the hard hitting Benton
clouted the ball to left center for three
corners, and after Andrews had waved
at three, came home on a scratch sin

punching their hits in the fifth, the
champions soon knotted the score. 1t
was the extreme end Of the batting
list which surprised the natives bJ
putting the runs on the sacks, and 1t
was Jerry LeBeau, lead-of man in
the new batting order, who slapped
out the hit to score the two runs. The
exceptional feature was that two were
out before the champions put a runner
on the trail.
After Durkin had been thrown out
at first and Clemens had popped out
to Sargent, Agnew came thru with a
hit to right and Higgins slapped the
ball to center for two bases. LeBeau
stepped into the limelight with a sin
gle over short, which scored the bat
terry men, and took second on the
throw-in Murphy shot a fly to A.
Meinert, ending the rally.
Jacks Presented Run.
The Jacks were given a gratis run
in the eighth, again putting them in
the lead. Morgan shot a single to
center and stole second and Kuhn
walked. Collins flied 20 Murphy, who
threw to third to catch Morgan, but
the ball went thru both Eunick and
Higgins allowing Morgan to score.
lMurphy's throw was good and should
have retired the runner. AS Thiesing
flied to LeBeau for the third out, no
score would have resulted had the
throw been handled, even tho Morgan
