THE I. A. A. RECORD 



INABILITY of Logan County Farm 

 Bureau batters to solve the slants 

 and benders of Ralph Meade, McDon- 

 ough County Farm Bureau pitcher, cost 

 Logan county the first game of the 

 championship series played at Lincoln 

 on October 4. McDonough county 

 won the game 2 to 0. The second game 

 was scheduled for Saturday afternoon, 

 October 11, at Macomb. 



Pitchers' Battle 



The game was a great pitchers' battle 

 between Meade, and Weldon Quisen- 

 berry, who hurled for Logan county. 

 Meade allowed only 3 hits and struck 

 out 13 men, while Quisenberry allowed 

 only four hits and whiffed nine bats- 

 men. Meade won by a shade when 

 Quisenberry's support crumbled in the 

 fourth permitting two runs to score. 

 For four innings Meade set down the 

 Logan batters in succession. Quisen- 

 berry did his best work in the third in- 

 ning when he struck out three succes- 

 sive hitters. 



How It Happened 



In the fourth inning R. Harmon, 

 center fielder for McDonough, smashed 

 a hot grounder to Israel at short. The 

 ball got away from the shortstop and 

 Harmon reached first. C. Harmon ad- 

 vanced his brother and was safe himself 

 on a fielder's choice. Carnahan, Logan's 

 second baseman, was charged with an 

 error. Both runners advanced on a wild 

 pitch and when Boots Runkle doubled 

 to center field the two runners scored. 



Prior to the fourth inning not a sin- 

 gle McDonough county man had 

 reached first base. It was a hard-fought 

 game and revealed that the two teams 

 are evenly matched. The fact that 

 Meade did not allow a single pass while 

 striking out 1 3 men game him the edge 

 on the pitcher's duel. 



Perfect Record 



Runkle, McDonough shortstop, ac- 

 cepted seven chances without an error.
