Big Hank Knepner Shines In Peoria Pitching Win
Sunday at local grounds the Peoria team beat Ward Republican 1-0 in an eight inning game. Big Hank Knepper demonstrated old speed and control, holding off Eleyén's batters with a sharp delivery. Two hits off his pitching counted for little as defense and base running kept Peoria on top. Claude led the offense with a first inning hit and Bay attempted a seventh inning steal that failed as Clark mishandled the ball.
