HOW 1T WAS DONE.
Why BeIvieW Lost What RedWo ood
Base Balllsts Won.

paper, the noticeable feature was in
the fact that while the Belview
team played better ball around, with
the one exception of getting men
across the plate, the Redwood team
won out. Belview got 50 men at
bat against 46 for Redwood, it Sc
cured a total of 10 hits off Opie,
while the Redwood boys only got
9 off Kelly, and the visiting club
only had five errors to it's credit,
while the locals piled up nine.
The Belview men were not good
base runners, and the club lacked
good coachers, and hence many of
the clubs men were left on bases.
A distinctive feature of the playing,
however, was in the grand finish
made by R. Theiring. 1t was moth
ing new. Ron. had done it before
probably will do it again-but the
surprising thing is that men who
have played against him so often do
not watch him closer when he is on
bases. In this particular case it
was the ninth inning. Tree had
Clipped the air three times, and
Morrow secured a safe hit. Their
ing got his base on an error of Jas
Peterson, which advanced Morrow
to third and Theiring to second.
On a tielder's S choice, Jones got his
base and Morrow scored, and Their
ing advanced to third base. Kelly
had been at the home plate, where
he had attempted to put out Nor
row, and while he was slowly walk
ing back to the box, Theiring made
one of his lightning sprints and
stole the home plate, before Kelly
recovered himself to throw the ball
1t was the winning score, and the
cheers that Theiring received were
heard long distance away.
There were two accidents during
the game. The first was where
Tree, catching, was bit by the ball
He was doubled up completely, and
the game was called for seyera
minutes. Finally Theiring went tc
catching, Goodtnunder came to the
first bag, and Joe Chadderdon went
out into the field until the seventh
inning, when Tree recovered enough
to take first base, and Goodthundel
relieved Chadderdon. Rev. f. n
Scott of Drayton, who was doing
shortstop work for Belview, was
the victim of the other accident
He had just made an extremely
doubtful hit, but in remarkable
sprint, beat the ball to the first bag
but in passing over the bag he was
tripped in some manner, and was
thrown five or ten feet forward
blowing up the dirt with the side
of his face. Mr.. Scott was more OF
less affected throughout the game
as result of this shaking up ant
bruising of his face.
For Belview the game was battet
in this way: Eischen knocked ou
a two bagger, Thompson went ou
at first, Fish made a hit, but Fischer
got to third only, and before h,
scored Jas. Peterson and Kelly were
thrown out at first. In the SECOND
inning Peterson, Shoemaker anC
Scott went out in one. two. three
order. In the third inning Belviev
secured three scores, Wallace open
ing the ball with a single, Fischer
getting his base on an error, Fisf
ditto, and singles by the two Peter
sons bringing in the three scores
Thompson going out at first and
| Fish at third before the scores were
made. Shoemaker struck out anc
retired the side. In the fourth
three more scores we're secured by
Scots doubtful hit and lightning
sprint, singles by Thompson, Kelly
and the two Petersons. and an error
Jones double play of catching
Eischen S hot fly and retiring Wal
lace at second, was feature of thu
