uluS was callou IOT aICoT one OF the
hottests wind contests ever seen on
the diamond. Before the inning was
started the game stood 13 to 7 in
favor of Belview. Then the Clippers
went to bat with vengeance, Rollins
knocking out single, Jones followed
ditto and on two errors of Thompson
Rollins and Jones scored, Clifton get
ting first on one of them. Then came
two singles by Smith and Cain, a base
on balls by McIlreavie, during which
Clifton, Smith and Cain scored. Cuff
got his base on an error of Goethe, and
scored in general row that followed
over the putting out of McIlreavie,
the third man to go out. This tied
the score. The row took up several
minutes of time and then it was dis
covered that the game was a tie, at
which the Belview boys let out big
roar. But they went to work on the
tenth inning and pounded out four
runs, and then retired the Clippers
without allowing them to even score.

SECOND GAME.
Henry Shoemaker was the principal
figure in the second game. His con-
spicuousness was due to the fact that
he was wearing uniform that Red
wood Falls business men paid for, and
which he refused to turn over or to
wear in a game with the Redwood club
as one of the latter Mr.. Shoemaker
did not come to bat without the crowd
guying the life out of him, inquiring
after the letters removed from the
shirt, and when he made a bad play
out on first base the crowd came down
on him with a vengeance. In fact,
the crowd made life so miserable for
Mr.. Shoemaker that on one or more
occasions he threatened to clean out
the 1000 or more people present. He
didn't do it, however, and there are L.
fortunate people in Redwood Falls to-
day.
Only five innings we're played, it
commencing to rain just as the Red
wood team finished the last half of the
fifth. At that time the Redwood team
had ID scores and the Beaver team
had seven. As usual, the feature of
the game was Herb. Bruins playing.
This young man takes all the chances
in every game, and in this game it was
ditto, and after covering everything
within three rods of short he only had
two errors charged up to him. Strange
as it may seem the two errors we're
made on balls that came directly at
him. Another feature of the game
was the stealing of two bases by George
Hughes. Hughes hasn't played much
ball of late-in fact, not since he was
the crack first of the Marshall team,
and the three errors he made were not
costly and possibly excusable, particu-
larly when it is announced that his
heavy form stole second and third
base under the nose of as good catch
or as is Keavney.
Beaver went to bat first and pound
ed out one run on an error of Mr..
Hughes whereby Birum got his base,
stole second and scored on single by
Marsh. In the second inning they
got three scores after two men we're
out, all on account of an error of Muir
fin, who muffed the neatest little pop
up eyer made on the diamond. In the
