The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1889-09-26


games of ball ever witnessed in Sank
Centre was played on Monday afternoon
in the presence of a highly appreciative
audience OF 500 people. From the open
ing to the close it was watched with the
closest attention, the graceful evolutions
of Chan Harmon, Capt. Coe, John APP
field and Charlie Coats called out frequent
bursts OF applause. Think of this quar-
tet trying to occupy an ordinary held
at one time! No wonder that the order
to "clear the diamond" was shouted
every three minutes, when, as matter
of fact there were not another person on
the ground. How could there be! And
when they batted it was absolutely i'm
possible to put a ball over the plate
without giving them their base for an
abdominal hit. The lean pitcher was
forced, OF necessity to pitch an out
curve. Capt. Coe took the whole
bakery as base runner. With the as
sistance of two or three pushsrs he
would reach base putting like a por-
pose, but he stayed to the end. Chan.
Harmon PLAYED four innings with the
energy of 1.-THE youth OF twenty, but
he was compelled to have substitute
for the balance Of the game, Gen. Cat
terson kindly relieving him. Charlie
Fish would have made an effective
pitcher had the plate been larger-about
the size of rail road turn-table. He
got in all the latest style of curves, it
being no uncommon thing fcs the ball to
describe complete circle 50 that he was
compelled to dodge i. himself. Too much
curve is what allied him. Doyle on first
and Hines as catcher were really good
players, as were Carr, Nonis and Cap
ser for the leans. Judge Barto, Arthur
Scrivener and Lyman ke.ts were safe
players-tlley didn't purp Sc to get
hurt by being in the way of the ball,
while Scherffius distinguished himself at
the bat. The umpire, Tom Murphy, had
evidently been purchased by both sides,
clearly leaned both ways in every deci-
sion of close point, And the scorers,
DR.. Lewis and Dunlap, they were most |
roasted for not putting down
twice as many scores as were made. AS
it was they had enough to do.
The betting was about even, and not |
less than thirty cents changed hands. |
The score was 50 to 81 in tayor OF the |
cans. The leans have fairly grown fat |
On the result of the game, and will not |
oe eligible for the second of the series.
