Rioters Win the Game.

Hold. Jones two-bagger in the
eleventh inning, vociferous roofing
on the part OF 500 people. and the
mascot work OF Billie Wallace and
his golden-haired three year old
daughter, won a game Of ball for
the Redwood Falls aggregation last
Saturday afternoon.
The game abounded with features,
some good, as many bad. First, il
was one of eleven innings; second,
it was one of as many errors as has
ever been witnessed on the local
diamond; third, it was one where
roofing" distinctly won the game;
fourth. it contained one OF the rot
tenest umpires that ever graced
the diamond, and considering that
The GAZETTE never before roasted
an umpire, it means this, and that
Herman Timm apparently felt that
be was scheduled to win the game
for Arlington. The Arlington boys
would have won hadn't his work
been SO rotten, because it simply
forced the crowd into roofing out
victory for the locals.
Arlington went to bat. Timm
was hit and got base. On two

ball he scored. Redwood got three
scores on two errors, a hit by ball
and two Dagger by Jones. ThomE-

succession. Arlington got one in
the fourth on an error, three in the
fifth on passed ball, base on
ball, single and wild throw. In
the eleventh one more was added
by single, a steal, and error Of
fielding. In the eleventh another
score was secured on an error Of
Francois muffing fly, and a single.
After the first inning the locals
remained dormant for five innings
getting an egg every time they went
to bat. In the seventh, after Timm
had made three rotten decisions,
which came near causing lynch
ing bee on the grounds, the crowd
got warmed up, the roofing COM
menced, and the boys did business.
Thompson touched the ball for
single, stole second and Mead got
base on Gasta's error, bringing
Thompson in. Baldwin was given
a base and on felder's choice was
thrown out on third. Francois

sending Baldwin and r. Theiring
home. Cooper got third on an error
of third, and Gus. Theiring sent
the ball over into right field. ;Hins-

ball for good two Dagger down the
third base line to the fence string
three feet inside the line. It did
the business.
Francois pitched the first five
innings and pitched we'll, but field
ed poorly. Dotson then went into
the box, and while he did not strike
out any of the batters he got scratch
results mostly, and the FIVE hits off
him were SO scattered that they
availed the Arlingtons naught.
Depaty pitched great game for
Arlington, and if he had remained
in the box during the last two inn
ings things might have Ibeen differ

a new pitcher, who was touched
hard. The score:
