HURLEY LOSES TO MELLEN
A Hard Fought Battle of Fourteen In
nings Goes to Mellen By the
Score of 3 to z.

In contest which went for four
teen innings, the Hurley base bail
nine met defeat at Mellen last Sun
day. The teams were apparently
evenly matched and things were nip
aud tuck, Mellen finally getting the
run across which brought them the
bacon in the 18th inning. 1t was a
fine exhibition of the National game,
but the attendance was small, the
support which the Mellen team right
ly deserves from their home people,
being decidedly lacking A gOodly
number of the fans present were from
Hurley, many of them making the
trip to Mellen in automobiles.
Sundell started on the mound for
Hurley. and the enemy got to him
right away and registered two of their
runs in their first time up. After two
had retired Roen hit safe and was
advanced peg on IA hit by Stachura;
Mcqueen lifted one into the air which
should have been an easy out and
which would have retired the side.
but Bert SecOr, who was signaled to
take the fly. let it go through his
hands. With the bases full Rabideau
drove one out which brought in the
two scores.
+ Draft succeeded Sundeil in the sec
ond frame aud for the rest of the SEES
sion had the Mellenites at his mercy.
He displayed fine pitching form and
WAS touched up for only two hits. In
ming after inning he retired his oppO-
nents without man even getting as
far as the initial sack II was pref
ty exhibition of base ball and the
handful of fans present sure got their
moneys worth.
/ Hurley's two scores came in the
third frame when Mcdonald was Civ
en- free transportation and stole sec
ond, Dratz connected safely and they
both advanced peg on a steal and
completed the circuit on Emunson's
w0-bagger. 1t was pitchers battle
from then on and row of goose eggs
graced the score board. Stanley
heayed for Mellen and pitched an ex-
cellent game. Hurley had a number
of chances to break the tie and win
the game, but things seemed to break
for the other fellows. In the 18th
frame Hurley had n man on second
aud one on third with one down. Me
Donald was next up and attempted TO
pull of the squeeze play but his lit
tie hunt landed squarely in the pitch
er's hands, resulting in a double play.
II was agreed to call the game Mt
the finish of the l4th inning, but the
unexpected happened and Mellen
broke the tie. Mcqueen got walk
and was sacrificed to second Kelley,
who had not touched the ball for the
entire game and was looked upon as
an easy out, lined one out to right
field to HaZelton, who threw low to
first, and before the ball could be re-
covered Mcqueen had scampered
home from second.
The batting hOnOrs of the day went
to Whitman, who got three hits out
of six times up.
Following is the tabniated score.

This viii be One Of the Matters to be

Meeting.

/ The December meeting of the Keo
kuk Commercial club, formerly the

Tuesday evening. December II at the
Hotel Iowa at 6:15 o'clock. The club
will consider a number of important
/ subjects among them the decoration
OF Main street, a report on comfort
stations, factoyy visiting days, and
other matters of interest.
The suggestion has been made that
the merchants who are In the club
decorate their store fronts and Main
street in Christmas garb. 1t has been
suggested that the white way poles
can be utilized in stringing ropes 'or
evergreen, or some similar Christmas
decoration. and colored lights might
be used if any Of the merchants so de-
sired
Another matter to be brought be-
fore the club will be the report of the
comfort station committee. This body
will have something of interest to tell
the members, and 1t is probable that
some final action can be accom- plished
toward the establishment of the sta
ton.
A Keokuk man has been given an
invitation to attend the meeting of the
club and make talk on some inter-
esting and timely matters 1t will be
well worth the members while, Presi-
dent Justice SAYS, to attend this meet
ing and hear what he has to say.
The Commercial club likes the idea
of factory visiting day, and will
boost for this plan all that is possible,
according to club officers. This also
will be submitted to the membership
at the meeting Tuesday.

 It was soon discovered by officers, however, that the soldier was roman cing and Chat he had never been in the hands of the Germans. It devel- oped that he had got lost from his company back of the lines, had been unable to find it and had wandered around the country for several days. He determined that the best way to escape punishment was to tell the story of his fictitious capture and escape.
