in 1916 between Rock Island and
Hannibal.
Big Carl Stimson twirled mag
nificent game only to weaken in the
23rd frame and literally throw
away contest that should have
been won for him several times ov-
er before that fatcful last inning.
Opposed to him was Cooper. on
whom the goddess Of luck smiled
kindly times too numerous to men

his big hands on the ball and tossed
wildly to first base, letting in NC
Allister with the winning score.
The scoring of the second tell

sons hands. Croake lifted a short
