The Flint base ball club, having accepted
the challenge issued by the Owosso club,
came here Wednesday noon and returned
home in the evening satisfied that they were
unable to successfully compete with the
players of this city.
The game was played on the fair grounds
In the presence of 400 people, one half of the
crowd being ladies. Thirty Flint people
came to see the game which was called at
ESQ, ID. l.. Murphy, of Owosso, and j.
Myers, of Flint, acting as umpires.
The Flint club is composed of first-class
amateurs, gentlemanly and social lot of
fellows.
Owosso went to bat, the first two men,
Derr and Gull, striking out. Lund made a
clean hit but was left on first by Wiswell
flying out. M. hyatt, for Flint, reached first
on hit and was advanced to third by Bro

hit. Gull and Lund scored on outs by Wis
well and Wright at first. Flint got two
runs in its half after two men were out, on
hits by Hyatt, Miller, Begole and Brooks.
Lund made the finest catch of the game in
this inning of foul, jumping seve raj feet
and getting the ball with his left hand. He
was loudly applauded.
Without the fourth inning the score would
have been to as in the Fair day game,
but in this inning the Owossos batted in ten
runs to show their superiority in this line.
The big tree in left field here came in to
help out the Flints by stopping Wrighrs hit
which was good for home run, the ball
back into the diamond. Dawson
struck out three men in this inning after
being hit for ten runs. Flint scored three
on base hits by Dawson, NJ. Hyatt. G. |
Hyatt and outs at first.
Both sides were retired in the fifth on |
strike outs. A blocked ball caused some
discussion in this inning, but that everything
might be satisfactory, the visitors were
given the benefit of the doubt.
Wright scored in the seventh while Be
COLE retired Brott and T. McCarty by a fine
double play. Miller was hit by pitched
ball and although winded for several min
ltes displayed his good nerve by running.
Oerr and Wright retired the side by a
double play that was loudly applauded. In
The seventh the Owossos were retired at
first and by left handed catch of hot fly
oy Broderick, which received generous
applause. Flint scored on a two base hit
by Begole and an out at first. j. McCarty
retired the side by a running catch of
ong fly.
Owosso was easily retired the eighth on
strikes. The Flint players seemed to be
getting even with some of the crowd for
,ome of the guys received, for G. Hyatt
after knocking fouls into the crowd on the
light side sent couple chasseting to the
If his shoe, and another took the fringe
rom buggy. Dawson scored on a wild
throw, which was one of three errors made
Turing the game by the home team. Three
uns were added in the ninth to the Owosso
core by three long drives by Gull, Lund
Niswell and Wrights liner. 9. Hyatt made
long drive for the Flints but he and Mil
er were retired on neat double by T. Nc
>arty, Derr and Wright. Brooks finished
he game by striking out.
Dawson, the Flint pitcher, who weighs
tut little over hundred pitched nine hard
innings, and has in him the making of
me ball player. His up shoot retired ten
f the Owosso batters easily. Wiswell and
Iund are strong, hard battery and many
eague teams in the country could be helped
y securing them.
Gull and Broderick, who are well known
ere as old Owosso ball players, were ap- {
lauded as they came to bat in the first
innings and for good plays during the game
Good feeling prevailed throughout the 1
anne, the visitors were perfectly satisfied,
nd 1t is hoped that these players may again
9 seen in this city. The receipts were
1910. The summary is as follows:
