HEAVY BATTING WON GAME

Inc Friends won out over the North
western Territorial Normals in a hotly
contested game of baseball yesterday TO
the tune of 10 TO 3. The Alva boys OPEN
ed the game with a rush and for the
first two innings it looked like the teach
ers had the Quakers going south. Davis
was put in the box for the Friends and
the very first thing that happened was a
safe hit for the Normalites. While the
Quakers were busy chasing pop-ups and
trying to induce the teachers TO try a
whack at the horsehide, McCully had
worked around until he had a good
chance. when he made run and slide
and the first score OF the game was
marked up opposite his name.
On the Friends side of the score book
was marked one little safe hit that looked
lonely because it could find no company.
The other three men up simply swung
the willow through the air without con-
Meeting with thing and then they had
to try workout in the field
In the teachers half of the second in
ming they opened up a box of fireworks
wnlc-. they had along. and proceeded to
have time with the Silent People. The
hrst man up went TO the wall on q pop
up and then his playma ties came TO his
assistance and wrung three safe hits and
two scores from the unwilling hands of
the cuakerS. 1t looked rather bad 10 see
the visitors piling up the runs on the
home team, but they had a turn coming
in the sweet bye and bye. Their side of
the second was a blank. and so were
their faces. Davis was hit in the groin
by batted ball and had to leave the box
He took Nelson's place on third and Mel
son went into the box. He got mad be-
cause they had hit his friend and would
not let the teachers even touch the ball
with the stick. When the friends came
to bat in the fourth inning they looked
the sticks over and picked out the big
gest ones. The first two had holes in
them. but the third was solid clear
through. Senter had it and he smashed
the horsehide out so far that he made
two bases while the Normalites were
finding the ball. Then Rich took a fresh
brace and sent for Senter. He sent out
a nice single. and Senter came trotting
home. That started things in the Friends
camp Young woke up and lined it out
for two bases on an easy trot but Loomis
raised a pop-up and teacher got under
1t. and Loomis made the third out
The NOrmalites could do nothing more
in the fifth and sixth. try as they might
n
and shook out two more runs in the fifth
and then said they weren't coming fast
enough. so in the sixth they raised the
score by three notches.
The seventh was a goose egg for both
sides, and then in the eighth the Friends
decided to stick on some more. They got
the big bats and went after the little
round sphere. They landed on il for two
safe hits and then hurdled around the
diamond for three more little marks thar
look SO good on their side of the score
book. The teachers fell over themselves
in their effort 10 secure the ball and as
they were in the line Howard had t,
jump one to get to second.
McGill. for the Normalites. pitched a
clean, nice game. His low out drop was
a mystery to the Friends boys for while
but they got them figured out before the
game ended. He had speed and good
control He allowed only one base on
balls. He struck out twelve men and the
Quakers got next to him for eight safe
hits. OF these Senter got two for two
bases each.
Davis started the game for the Friends
but was compelled to retire in favor of
Nelson on account of the injury to his
side. Nelson pitched as smooth game as
ii is the good fortune Of an average fan
TO see He allowed only one safe hit and
that didn't go for much when he settled
down to work. He is a new man for the
Quakers and is proving himself up well.
He is very cool in the box and knows
the game thoroughly.
The Friends showed that they knew
how TO bat and after they got started
nothing was too swift for them.
The Alva boys played clean game !
and with the exception Of a few costly |
errors in the wrong place played a strong |
swift game. They put more ginger into |
the game than the Quakers until they |
woke up and pulled clear away from the |
the Hess field and those who attend will I
see a hot game At Alva the Friends 4
won the first game and thought they had /
the second. when Alva awoke and 1
it away from them.
Alva has shown that she can play ball !
with the best, and there is no reason why /
hey should not make a close run today. !
