Succession Of Errors by Bismarck
Results in Defeat In Last Game with
Webster.
With Middleton pitching a quality of
baseball that should have shut out the
visitors and would have done so if the
men behind him had played like base
ball players instead of rubber-mitted
men, holding the visitors down to
three scattered singles, the Webster
team defeated Bismarck in the last
game of the series yesterday by a
score of to l. 1t was a fearful and
wonderful presentation of an all star
cast in the great fumbling act. Web
ster did not get an earned run, every
score registered for them being pre-
sented by the local team with a gen
crosby that was touching if not stats
Tying to the spectators Bismarck was
shut out for eight innings and
managed to register once in the ninth
inning when Perry was passed and
scored on short hit. Erickson
pitched for the visitors and two safe
hits were obtained by Mankie and
Minor Dinky infield hits and high
flies were all that were possible to
obtain. In each of six innings there
were only three men up to bat for
Bismarck. Even that would have
been tolerable if the errors in the
field had not been inexcusable and
atrocious. Minor at short fumbled
three infield hits, and in two cases
both he and Brown attempted to field
daisy cutters, the ball getting through
both of them and rolling out into left
field. Webster scored in two innings.
In the second, Minor fumbled Erick-
sons grounder, giving him a life.
Morstein drove one to first, and was
put out, but tumble at second base
prevented what should have been a
double play. Berg struck out and
, Rogers drove one to the fence that
scored Erickson, after ample oppor-
tunity had been given to retire the
side. In the third inning, E. Rogers
popped up a fly that either Minor or
Mankie should have gotten, but poor
coaching permitted Foster to run in
from center field nearly to second base
after it, and then he dropped it. Varco
struck out. Hildebrand drove another
to short that Minor fumbled, and Doc
/ Hildebrand followed with a drive that
scored Rogers and H. Hildebrand, scor-
ing himself on a passed ball. all the
| scores being counted after the side
should have been retired. The same
stupid errors were repeated in the
following innings, only good pitching
and one or two double plays prevent
! ing more additions to the score. In
the sixth, johnson repeated the fly in.
to short center, and again Foster ran
in and muffed the ball. Erickson fol.
lowed with little fly that Middleton
ran for, juggled five times from one
hand to another but finally held and
completed a double play at first base
But the browning bit of horror came
in the ninth, when Johnson got pass
and was out at second being forced by
Erickson. Morstein hit one to Middle
ton who turned and threw it to Minor
at second to complete double. Minor
let it go through him to center field
and both men were safe At about
this time the spectators began to thin
out.
Bismarck got it's solitary run in the
ninth. The entire game was without
| an earned run.
