last Saturday night from their trip to
Moorhead, Grand Forks and Crook
ston after having won four out six
games played, and they would have
won them all had their pitchers not
played out. In the Moorhead game
Hoar was not feeling well, yet he
pitched the game through and won.
He was put in again at Grand Forks
the next day and also did excellent
work, holding the Grand Forks down
to four hits and winning by a score Of
10 too.
On Wednesday the boys played
Crookston. Tommy Larkln was put
in the box. He had not pitched
dozen balls over the plate before he
hurt his arm, but he pitched the game
out by tossing the ball over, which
the Crookstonites pounded to the
woods and won by score of II to 4.
Hoar went into the box the next
day against the same club and did
excellent work up to the sixth inning,
only three hits being made off his de-
livery and the score stood 10 to 2 in
our favor. But having to pitch two
games in succession two days before,
and hard games at that, and pitching
great ball in this game, it was too
much and he sprained his arm. He
was gritty, though, and had plenty of
nerve, for despite the fact that his
arm panied him terribly he finished
the game and won by score of 10
to s.
On Friday the team returned to
Grand Forks. Hoar nor Larkin not
being able to pitch, Teddie Corbett,
who has not pitched a game for five
years,p pitched and played a good game,
pitching ten innings and winning by
a score of 3 to 2, only four hits being
made off him. The team supported
him in excellent shape, all playing
good ball.
Saturday Larkin again tried to
pitch, but his arm was in such poor
shape he did not have speed enough
to get the ball over the plate, and
after the third inning he quit, Grand
Forks having run in nine scores.
Frank Busch, the short stop, went in
and pitched the fourth, but the hit
him pretty hard and Corbett was put
in and finished the game. Grand
Forks continued to bat the ball hard
and our boys got little discouraged
and did not play the game they gen
orally do, SO Morris lost by a score Of
10 to 9.
The loss of these games was due
to the lack of pitcher Hoar being
in such shape that if he had tried to
pitch another game it would, perhaps,
have disabled him so that he could
never pitch any more, and Larkin's
arm was in the same shape.
The article of ball put up by the
team was of the highest order. Andy
Warner, in all the games, filed the
back stop position up to the top
notch by playing his same old star
game. Teddie Corbett filled his po-
sition at first in good shape and put
up a good game. Goodman at sec
ond played star game and showed
himself capable of filling the position
at all times. Howley played his
same fine game at third, and put up
an excellent game of ball. Frank
Busch as short stop can't be beat by
any amateur in the state as was dem
onstrated in these games with the
above teams. The outfeld, Dalrym-
pie, Spur and Wunsch, are all stars
