iiiii EXCITING MIX IS ENDED IN TIE ALL UMPIRE CLEARY CALLED TERDAY OTTUMWA-QUINCY GAME TO LET TEAMS GO SCORE WAS 2 TO 2 Nip and Tuck Battle Kept 255 Fans on Their Toes for Twelve Was Effective Though Wild As a thrill of the melodramatic sort the fruitless efforts of the Ottumwa and Quincy players at the Myrtle Btrefit park yesterday af'ernoon lial several yards of the great In baseball spanked to an ermine hue. And all of the showy stuff amounted to naught the athletes prevailed upor. Umpire Cleary to call at game at t5 bells in order to permit them to connect vith Burlington No. 4 and arrive in Monmouth and Quincy in time to hit their downy couches before this morning. Two to two, all the same like the Burlington train's whistle, was the score at the end of the twelfth when Stage Manager Cleary rang down the curtain.

The fans moaned a little, but on second thought they decided to smile, for the game the Quincy men were putting up was likely to pull a victory out of the tie at any minute. Twelve innings of the kind of baseball served yesterday is equal to several games of the mediocre ball, and realizing this, the faithful left the park feeling satisfied that they came, despite the fact that no decisioit was reached. Reiss Was Puzzling. Pitcher Reiss pitched what an exacting critic would refer to as erratic ball. He mixed his generosity with a stinginess that would do credit to a double-knotted tight-wad, and his uncertain work throughout the twelve innings is largely accountable for Quincy's failure to bag the mix.

Reiss, despite his wildness at times, had the best of the flinging argument, and his performance with the willow was only equaled by Wise, Senno, Severeid and Donahue. Pitcher Walker, too, is entitled to a wee might of glory, for he held the home squad hitless when raps would have meant defeat. Senno, Russell and Ahring divided the fielding honors. Ottumwa Scored In Opener. Fred Finney romped home with the first tally of the conflict, registering In the initial inning on his walk and steal and Senno's rap to right field.

Quincy forged ahead in the fifth. Myers lived on Kensel's bobble and went to third when Donahue roughly shoved the pellet to left field for two bags. A wild pitch high over Link's head by the irrational Reiss permitted MyerB to score and Donahue to register at Wiseville. Just to mingle his effectiveness with his less brilliant work, Reiss forced Clark to pole to Russell and Walker was compelled to whiff. Hartman, however singled to center and Donahue registered Quincy's second and last run.

Ottumwa tied it up in the eighth. Reiss opened the stanza with his second single of the day. Kensel laid the ball down to Cavanaugh, and Mike evidently thought first base was in the bleachers. His heave sent the pill high over Myers' head and into right field. Reiss raced home on the error, but Kensel was nipped at third by the perfect throw in of Hartman.

Pinch Hitters Were Absent. Ottumwa and Quincy broke about even on the absence of pinch hitters. In the ninth every sack was inhabited by a visitor, but Reiss hooked on his non-hlttable armament and the side was retired. Again in the tenth, the Invaders, with one down had men on Second and third, but two long flies to the center field fence fell into the waiting mitts Of Senno. Double plays deprived Ottumwa of the winning run In the eighth and tenth, and the effectiveness of Walker spoiled any chance of victory in the ninth.

Ottumwa's last chance to score was in the twelfth when Wise biffed for two bags with one down. Borton and Reiss skied out to Dang, and Ump. Cleary called the halt. Manager Egan changed the batting order in yesterday's game by switching Finney and Russell. Brand was used to hit for Link in the seventh, but Charley popped out to Burg.

Thomas, hitting for Walker in the eleventh, also proved a minus quantity at the pelting game. Noah relieved Walker in the eleventh. The 8core. AB. R.

Two base Donahue stolen Finney, Donahue sacrifice Severeid, Dang, Burg, Myers, Walker double to Myers, Walker to Myers struck Reiss 8, by Walker 9 base on Reiss 7, off Walker 1 wild hit by 1, Reiss 1. Time of Notes of the Game. Russell was put to work right on the start. Owens and Cavanaugh poled to left field when first up. Walker cut Severeid off at first after the youngster had hit safe.

He took too long a lead off and Walker's whip was too fast for him to beat back. Hartman's fast work in right was the kind that pitchers should have all the time. After whiffing Walker in the fifth and having the best of the flinging argument all the way through, Reiss became wild and allowed Myers to score by pitching one pill over Link's head. Burg robbed himself of a sacrifice hit in the eighth when he bunted and tried to kick the ball foul. Cavanaugh wanted to mix his good playing of the series with the bad, and instead of hitting yesterday, he spent most of the time making bobbles.

Mike is indeed a versatile player. RESULTS YESTERDAY. National League. Chicago 9, New York 5. Brooklyn 1, Pittsburg 0.
