June 27.—The Red Soz and the Indiana shattered a •world's record here yesterday after noon by playing twenty-two Innings to a scoreless tie. The contest is far and away the best ever seen on the local diamond and the huge crowd of jf^U! Eagle boosters were given the treat of their lives. The battle was a real one from start to finish. Miller work Shij ed the route for the locals and Wat gg^ kins, Boyle's premier hurler -went all •v-,5 tb- way for the Indians. &*$ Miller fanned seventeen and allow ed seven tilts, and Watklns fanned thirteen and allowed six blows. The Rowdy allowed four to get on base by the free pass route. The duel be tween the hurlers was even. There could be no other decision, it was a gratifying thing to 1 the real fanB pres- ent when Umpire, Scanlan called the game at the close of the twenty-second game as either pitcher worked too "well to have a defeat chalked against him. The entire game was of b!p Ieagne calibre. Tw0 boots each were mark- «.»uui 0. uuuto »u. Harmon 8aves Day for Sox. If any one, other than eitheT pitch er, can be given credit for saving the game it is Harmon, the Burlington second sacker. The play came up in the twentieth inning after Hillocher had singled and gvne to second on Le Beau's blow. Swick sacrificed the men a base and on the next play the fang were treated to the greatest stop and peg of the season. Glffln jammed „. one down towards second at express train speed. Hollocher started home on the play, thinking the blov would result in an easy score. Harmon did /not see things that way, however, and ,came in on the ball, stopped It and Melnert, rf .. 'pegged the Indian shortstop out at!Morgan, 3b the plate. The play, without doubt. [Singleton.^ If saved the game and Harmon was given an ovation by the fans. Miller purposely walked Wetzel to get Brown 5°,,' up and fill the sacks. He then struck KO'i^eg, .. out the Keokuk catcher. YESTERDAY'S RECORD NEVER WAS EQUALLED* The record of playing twenty- two Innings without a score being made, hung up by Keokuk and Burlington at Burlington yesterday. Is one that has never been approached, either in the score or In the work of the pitchers. Baseball record books show that the longest games in history have been played in the minor leagues, a fact which may be ac counted for by the larger num ber of minor league clubs over the majors. The longest games played last year were both twenty-three in nlngs long. The first was In the Kansas State league July 3, Hut chinson defeating Great Bend, 4 to 3. Tho other was in the East era association. July 14, Hartford defeating New Haven, 2 to 1. The longdbt games ever played in professional baseball went twen ty-six innings. Both were played in 1909.

[Special to The Gate City.] WARSAW, 111., June 27.—.The much toutod Hamilton baseball team came to Warsaw Sunday with a string of nine victories to their credit, and no defeats. They went home bowed in defeat for the first time this season. Before the masterly pitching of Pied-. rit, they went down in order, getting one score and that not being earned. The Warsaw team was out to win and played great bail behind their rawly acquired slab artist. Hamilton 'made' their lone score In the first Inning and Warsaw came back with one in the fourth and again in the sixth, coming through with three more, enough to sew up the game as the score shows.

In th.3 first game both Semones for the Electrics, and Woodbury for the Tigers pitched good games and Se mones not only proved himself a pitcher but showed his ability as a stick artist, getting two two-baggers and one single and coming to bat In the fifth with the bases full and bringing all men in on a long drive into left field. Everman for the Elec trics, 'swatted the ball into right field for a home run. Breitenstein and Sharp for the Tig ers each got clean hits, the former getting three and the latter two. In the second game the Keokuk 'Electrics played a new line-up, play ing their men with an eye toward the High Tension club game and trying out several new men. From the way they showed up. the Electrics feel that the M. K. P. Co. will have 0 play somo ball. The second game started out with the Button Cutters hitting KlrchBer pretty healvly for the first three in nings. In the third they put 'five runs over, mainly due to errors on the Electric's Infield. Semones again came to the rescue and with the bases full, brought all three men home. Semones stole third on Rl-ckert's single. Klrchner came to bat. tfriving the ball under the lefti field fence for a home run, scoring, both Rickert and Semones.
