Mueller pounded the ball for the Indians in a commanding 9-1 victory. Boothby pitched brilliantly as the offense clicked, while misplays by the opposing lineup contributed to the lopsided result.
Keokuk won 9 to 1 as Camels protested after the second inning over umpire Core. Holycross made a brilliant catch, Cavanaugh hit a center field homer, and Boothby struggled on the mound while Alperman and Bresnahan led the large Keokuk attack.
Core was released by President Justice and left for Rolfe Iowa to run a drug store. C A Carson succeeds him, a Chicago official in semi pro circles. Core was ineffective and unable to discipline players, call balls and strikes, or control the game leading to delays. Meade returns to work for the Keokuk series.
The piece notes a contentious game where Core’s decisions trigger a protest led by Yeager while Walters seeks to overturn rulings. Alperman breaks a bat, Bresnahan belts a three bagger, and Bates introduces a bell system for runs as Camels offense falters and defense wavers.
