ball playing witnessed on those
grounds.
Errors were numerous, and earned
runs scarce. Loose fielding charac-
terized the latter part of the game.
Up to the third inning the game
promised to be a close one. Each side
had tailed only one score. The home
boys then began finding the Brain
erd's pitchers twirls, and from the
third to the eighth it was very much
one sided, the score being II to in
favor OF the home boys.
At the beginning Of the game Fer
rell went out into right field, and
quite a change was made in the line
up of the home team, which, we be-
Eeve, will after some practice, show
some Improvement In the work OF
some. Bourassa was catcher, P.
Newman went to third base from
right field, and Gravel went to the
first from third station. Stevens
went into the box, as Terrell had in
practice just before the game started,
injured one of the fingers with which
he puts the corkscrew kinks into the
sphere as it shoots over the plate.
Brainerd came to bat first and
Human lined out a fly just high
enough to carry it over the fence
close to the foul flag, and was
credited with a two Dagger. Hin
man succeeded in scoring. This was
the only hit made in this inning.
Ono man famed, and the other two
were put out at first. One more hit
was secured off Stevens delivery in
the second inning, and he was then
succee led by Terrell. Although Fer
rell's injured finger prevented him
from throwing more than one kind
of a ball he put extra speed into
them and held the visitors down to
one score until the eighth inning
was reached. In this inning hard
luck and numerous errors let in four
runs. Brainerd also made three hits
in this inning, punching them nicely,
which also materially assisted in
getting the runs in.
In this. inning Terrell knocked out
three catchers. BOurassa had his
finger damned stopping low ball,
and Sylvester took his place. Afoul
tip struck him on the end of the
thumb, and he gave way to Willing.
The third ball pitched to Willing
was foul tip and his right hand was
quite badly injured. He received the
worst injury OF any of the three.
Sylvester went behind the bat and
finished the game, Bourassa going
to the bench and stevens taking
right field and Willing going to left
field and Droski to second base. P.
Newman was also hurt in this inn
ing liner with fire flying from it
caught his left hand giving it, short
ly after, the appearance of a ham.
The ninth inning began with the
score 5 to IL in our favor. The first
man went to first on an error.
A double and a single followed, and
two scores came in. Another error
and another score. Terrell then
settled down to business and struck
out the next two men. The game
was ended by Roth driving out a
warm grounder to Terrell which he
cleverly ate up and threw the runner
out at first. Little Falls had an
other inning at bat, but as the score
was in their favor, the game was
ended.
