Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1903-07-01

N. P. Malven in the pitchers box
was all right and he received a hear
ty support from the in and out field
both. Bobby" Allen to catch
pleased the grandstand-Bobby"
was born for behind the bat and it
was noticeable fact that no one
from Vinton tried to steal second.
Probably they knew better.
Vinton had 4 safe hits to their
credit, Manchester six, two two-base
and four singles. Manchester's scor-
er gave the locals but two errors.
WATERLOO 4, MANCHESTER l.
Waterloo met the home team here
Friday and it was our Waterloo in
deed. The score Of 4 to does not
tell the true story of the battle as it
was fit. .
In the lst., Miller with two gone
made an elegant safe, good for two
bases and by swift running he
stretched it to three, and N. Malven
let him home scoring one for us.
An interesting possibility was
spoiled in the 4th when N. Malven
was caught between first and second.
G. Malven went to first on balls,
being followed by Allen ditto, and
with two bases full Roe placed a
poppy in the hands of Hupp who
cut Allen off at second Another
breathless point was reached in the
Sth when Paley and Jansenwere &C.
cupying exalted positions on third
and second bases respectively.
Holmes famed; Matthews was
caught out in left field, and Miller
knocked one that was the second
baseman' and our sure two scores
were dealers.
4 Jansen pitched very good ball and
Paley, the new catcher, did fairly
well for his first appearance before
a crowd who had already made up
, a list Of the favorites for behind the
bat. He was weak in throwing a
base-thief out but seemed an aver
age sticker
: Jansen gave2 bases on balls, 2
i block balls, and 4 safe hits were re
' corded for Waterloo. Unkle for the
! visitors struck out three, let 3 mel
i walk, and three safe hits were Oh
4 the Manchester side.
