Some Fast Playing.

Some Fast Playing.
Good sized slices of glory have come
floating towards our ball boys in the
last week. Since our last issue Yale
has won three straight games and they
were all earned by good ball playing.
On Friday game had been arranged
with Deckerville, but it was declared
off owing to the death of a prominent
citizen of that village. The locals then
arranged for game with the Tigers,
Port Huron's swiftest aggregation, at
that place. Our team has been laying
for this bunch ever since the Fourth,
and proceeded to show the fans of st.
Clair county's metropolis what good
ball playing was In order to give the
Tigers little encouragement, Cough,
our coming Cy Youngs, was put in the
box in the first and that team piled up
four runs. After this they only made
one successful trip around the diamond.
At various times during the game Yale
would roll in a score and the end of the
ninth the score was to 5, making it
necessary to play another innings In
this Yale easily shut the Tigers out and
run in score, winning out by full
length. Mclaughlin, Michigan's best
amateur pitcher, twirled the ball for
our boys, and every member of the
team says that Erie mystified the Tigers
with some of the biggest puzzlers they
have met this year, but
On Saturday the team took a slant
for Croswell, and Eddie Jones ("the
darlint'') was put in the box for Yale
and he certainly made the sugar beet
town gang pound away at the atmos-
1 nh otn
out and faced the stick artists it was
noticed that his hair was a shade light
er and there was blood in his eye, both
indications of determination to win
or die in the attempt He won. Erie
Mclaughlin, who pitched for our team
the day before, was "agin 'em" this
time, and the Croswell lovers of the
national sport were treated to the pret-
tiest pitchers battles that was ever
fought on a diamond in that town.
Man after man from both teams walk
ed to the plate with the intention of
"knockin' the stuffin' out er the gol
derned ball" and were forced to take
their intentions and retire to the bench.
When each side had played their nine
innings the score was tied, and in the
tenth Yale repeated Saturdays trick
and won the game by score of to 3.

The bloodiest battle of the campaign
was fought on the diamond at River
side Park last Monday afternoon when
the business men of the north and
south sides faced each other for the
third time, This game was for the
championship and was to have lasted
nine innings, but the north end weak
ened in the fifth and beat a hasty re-
treat leaving the boys of the south end
victors of the field. Score IL to 20.
i
The Bloomer Girls and boys appear
ed here on Tuesday as scheduled and
were easily defeated by our boys.
About 500 hundred witnessed the
game and were well pleased with the
exhibition. Some of the crowd had
never before been seen in attendance
at ball game, and they occupied the
front row. too.
The visitors battery was the whole
thing. "Maudie" he was a first-class
pitcher, but we can't understand why
under the sun he wanted to disguise
his head by wearing a wig when his big
feet were so much in evidence. Their
short-stop was kept so busy playing his
numerous positions that he didn't have
time to make eyes at the girls. He is
| u new ItCIulI, WOIhlIR loI a SJttuy JOD,
and he played well. Neither he or the
catcher have saved up money enough
yet to buy wigs. "May" st. Clair, who
played out field, saved the two pieces
of statuary that were placed in right
and left field, from getting struck by a
batted ball. "May's" wig was conven-
tional black and he has a good shape,
too, but like "Maudie," his paddles
cover too much territory for him ever
to be mistaken for girl. The rest of
the nine were regular female women.
Dusty" fell in love with the little right
fielder on first sight, and never during
the entire nine innings did his loving
eyes lose sight of her. He purchased
one of the group pictures which he now
carries next to his heart Poor boy, he
was badly smitten.
Miller, of Richmond, was slab artist
for Yale and pitched a good game.
