MONDAY AFTERNOON GAME5

The turnout Monday afternoon
was fully equal to that Of Sunday.
and two well contested games were
witnessed. The first game in the
afternoon was between Ishpeming
and Baraga. Ishpeming jumped in
to the game from the start. scoring
three runs in the first inning and
causing Bender, the Baraga twirler,
to be sent to the bench. He was
succeeded by Bergman, who Jared
but little better. The Baraga team
started badly, making several costly
errors in the early part of the game.
frisk, the Marquette pitcher, was in
the box for the Ishpeming club, and
as on the day previous, pitched a
remarkably steady game and fielded
his position faultlessly. Baraga was
never in the game and lost by a score
of II to I. Sliney, for Ishpeming,
gathered in everything between
second and third bases without an
error. The real feature of the game
however, was McCarthy's playing
at third base. 1t is safe to say that
that bag was never played to better
advantage by any player ever enter
ing the park. be he professional or
amateur. Rivers catching of diff
ticult foul fly was also feature.
HoUGHToN WINS FROM EscASABA.
Escanaba and Houghton were the
opposing teams in the second game.
Stack and Mckinley were in the
points for Escanaba and Renwick
and Condor for Houghton The
game resolved itself into pitcher 5
battles and were Stack properly sup
ported not run would have been
scored in the seven innings PLAYED.
Houghton won by a score of TO o.
The game was by all odds the best
of the series. Houghton scored one
run in the second inning on scratch
hit, aided by two wild throws. In
the fourth they chalked up another
run on Brand securing first on an
error, followed by Condor 5 hit and
Healy 5 sacrifice. In the sixth

Haas and Hooking hit safely, filling
the bases, Mckinley allowed two
balls to 90 to the backstop, Healy
and Haas scoring. Escanaba sent
five men to bat in the fourth inning.
securing two clean hits. but beau
tiful play on the bases retired the
side. Aside from the clever work
of both pitchers, Condor s backstop
work was an especial feature. Sew
efal attempts were made to steal
second base and each time the run
ner was caught. His presence on
the team has tendency to keep it
playing steady ball and much of the
credit for this game is due to his
work. Four hits were credited to
each pitcher. Stack struck out
seven men and Renwick two.

tween Houghton and Baraga to de-
eide which would compete with Isl

the field and Bergman pitched an

clever game. A running catch of
long fly by Hooking was note
worthy feature.
