Baseball of the vintage of 1869 was
dished up by the champions and the
Dodgers for ladies' day crowd Tues
day afternoon al Arson park. The ex-
hibition was a royal SUGGEST. with two
Wild men adding variety to the en-
tertainment. Probably not since the
early youth of Cap" Arson has such
a prodigious score been piled up by
TWO aggregations the same day on the
local diamond. The final result: Fort
| Dodge, IA; Narshalltown, II.

ers engaged hit hard and often, but
two insisted on increasing the score
by forcing runners home after having
filed the bases. Erratic fielding like

combat, and the champions shaken in

where he was desperate the southern
gentleman became wild and forced a
run home by passing Toner with the
bases filled.

continued the slaughter. Higgins in
herited the mound from Payne with
the bases full, and Schmelz greeted
him with triple, which sent three
Dodgers SCampering across the pan.
Schmelz then emulated Payne. forcing
two runs in by passing batters with
the bases filed. Graham was Sits last
choice and the westerner had the
champions eating from his hand. HigS
gins likewise frightened and pitched
good ball in the closing rounds the last
three innings developing into the only
real baseball of the day.
