Harry Rush staged field day al
Arson park Monday afternoon with
himself as the star performer. He
| participated in all the events and won
all the points for his team, the final
score reading: Marshaltown, 3; Fort
Dodge. 0.
Rush was easily the main attraction
holding the Dodgers to two hits, ac-
ceptng six fielding chances Clearly,
and hitting safely twice each of his
blows tallying a run.
Killeen, the Dodger star, looked
equally as good, except for his ten
dency to wildness, which resulted in
his downfall. He started like a whirl-
wind, moving down the first three men
to face him on strikes. 1t was not I'M
til the fourth inning that the Ansons
had a chance, and then killeen pitched
himself out of decidedly hazardous
position. In the fifth hit batsman
and a wild pitch put runner on sec
ond and gave Rush an opportunity TO
crack out his first single and win his
own game. A pass paved the way for
the second run, in the seventh, and
afforded Rush second opportunity to
crack the pill and send counter over
the plate.
Rush Gets Great Support.
Rush was given grand support, and
the contest proved fully as interesting
as that either of Saturday or Sunday.
Snappy field work by both teams liv-
ened up the interest. with Eunick
showing especially fashy work with
several great stops and sharpshooting
to first.
Only four Dodgers reached first base,
two in the ninth inning. In that round
Smell, batting for Killeen. was given
life when Clemens fumbled his ground
err and Block singled. Marriott. how
ever failed in the emergency, lifting a
fly to Eunick.
On the other hand the champions
sent thirteen men to first, but failure
to deliver a hit in the pinch left all
the corners tenanted in one inning, and
two double plays by the Dodgers ac-
counted for the passing Of other base
runners who failed to tally.
Bases Full; No Score.
The effectiveness Of Kuleen was best
shown in the fourth. when the Ansons
had possession Of all the corners, with
no outs, and yet failed TO tally. Lied
was given a life thru Toners error.
Clemens scratched an infield hit and
Eunick was hit by pitched bali.
Cameron then fouled out to Marriott,
and Lee struck out. With one strike
called on Durkin, Lied was instructed
to attempt the theft of home. He was
nipped at the plate.
In the fifth Durkin was hit by .
pitched ball and went to second on a
wild pitch, and LeBeau drew a pass.
Agnew flied out to Killeen. but Rush
lifted the ball over short for Texas
Lacquer scoring Durkin.
In the seventh Durkin walked and
by some lively leg work scored on Lee
Beau's single. Durkin had a good lead.
and after LeBeau had hit the ball the
runner never faltered until he had
crossed the plate. The throwin was
poor the ball going to the first base
man, and before 1t could be relayed
to the catcher Durkin had counted. Le-
Beau went to second on the throwin,
to third on Agnew's out at first and
scored on Rush's safe bunt down the
third base line.
Two Singles Are Wasted.
In the ninth the champions wasted
two hits, which followed two retire
ments. Cameron and Lee raped out
clean hits, but persisted on the path
way as Durkin struck out. the score:
FORT DODGE.
