Grounders and Prodigals in a Rough Pitching Tale
A good pitcher named Grounders draws notice as a new recruit for Peoria while the Prodigals suffer a fourth straight scoreless game, losing 1 to 0 to Rock Island. Davenport sits at the bottom as Ernie Johnson from Chicago’s West Ends plays for the Hustlers and confusion over Manusch’s fate grows. Fans favor shorter, snappier games with early Saturday starts, and managers experiment with game length, including a 90 minute finish last Saturday.

Penisa Maid, clocking 2 04 1 2, was leading the field in Des Moines on August 1 when death struck, ending her bid to extend a record year. The mare, once hailed as Grand Circuit royalty after the Transylvania stake triumph in Lexington in October 1908, collapsed on track.
