Slugging game lasts until after six o'clock in Des Moines
Yesterday's extreme slugging affair featured Washington and Mt Pleasant with a final score shaped by bulky hits and wild pitches. Beckwith started, then Weibley, then Beckwith again, while Deutschman pitched well until shaky defense allowed runs. Notes praise Davis and Gaston for fielding, Nicola and Adams for batting, and Umpire Leigh Wallace officiated at Central Station Des Moines Iowa. The report also notes regional weather and new incorporations in Des Moines.
