Exciting Game of Ball Between
Juniors and Morgan.
A good many games of ball are
won by good, clever playing-others
are won by luck-stil] others are won
by good playing on one side and bad
playing on the other while still others
are won by superior prowess.
The game of last Tuesday afternoon
between the Morgan nine and the
Juniors of Redwood Falls was not
won by any one of these items. The
crowd won the game for Redwood.
The crowd won it by the most terrific
"rooting," hooting and yelling ever
heard on the local grounds. A good
many Redwoodites left the ground
hoarse. There were some Morganites
present that did their yelling during
the early part of the game. About
the eighth inning they stopped and
the Redwood "rooters" got in their
deadly work until the Morgan pitcher
became so badly ratified that the Red
wood boys touched him up for about
nine clean hits, a single, double and
three-bagger.
The Redwood team was handi-
capped by the non-appearance of Ru-
pert Martin and Pitcher Kelly, who
were to have come over from Beaver
and assist the Redwood boys in TAX
ing fall out of Morgan. This left
the boys weak in the pitchers box and
Rupert is good anywhere, even if it is
just to keep up the courage for the
boys. The box was we'll taken care
of, however, by Charles Luscher and
Herb. Birum, Ron Theiring and Stan
ley Bissell divided the honors behind
the bat.
The Morgan boys started out with
two runs. In the second they made
two more. In the third they went to
three. Then they pulled two. In the
fifth, sixth and seventh they pulled
one each time. In the eighth they
got goose egg and in the ninth they
pulled three with two men on bases
when the third man was retired. Had
those two come in the score would
have been tied.
The Juniors got one the first inning,
ditto the second and in the third five
men crossed the plate. In the fourth
only one run was secured. Then came
three goose eggs, the boys finding it
impossible to hit Dresser, who did
some remarkable pitching. But in the
eighth inning the Redwood boys got
on to Mr.. Dresser and amid the root
ing of the crowd they sent nine men
across the plate, sending their total
score up to II, Morgan went to bat,
three men crossed the plate before
the third was retired, and the score
then standing II to Is in favor of
Redwood the game stopped.
The Morgan club is composed of
nine men who play together in excel
lent style. Barring one or two bad er-
rors, caused by bad instruction in the
field, and Pitcher Dresser being "root-
ed" to pieces in the eighth they played
almost faultless game.
Geo. Kettlewell did some excellent
work with the bat for Redwood. He
made three safe hits, and a three-bag-
ger in addition. Ron Theiring did
some base stealing that would be a
credit to the league players, steal
into home while the ball was passing
from catcher to pitcher being the most

that has ever occurred on the local
grounds. The score follows:
Redwood. IL l 5 1000 x-17
Morgan 80. 2 2 8 2l11 0 3-15
The Morgan club consists of Bill
lington, Moore, Dresser, Dodge, Chas.
and John Porter, Albrecht, Rist and
w. Ball, the latter as fine first base
man as there is in the west. The Red
wood club consisted of Stanley Bissell
catcher and first base, Herb. Birum
pitcher and short, Ron Theiring first
base and catcher, Eugene Drake Sec
ond base, Geo. Kettlewell third, ..Chas.
