anl there was nothing orjn9 uIFN
the last half II the Inst ::ring vi1s:.
BlaiUtr' got >he Only &cvIe Ct tx
game aD5 won out.
Tnu locals are stronger with tLe
stick than Little Falls and jim Boyle
who was on the slab for the Bralnerd
team, had slight advantage in
the general count over Terrell, and
the home boys ehould have won tbs
game in the first two or three
innings, but the base running WAS
SOM ething fierce and at times they
acted like lot of kids, not knowing
which way to run. In one of the frs,
innings there we're two men on bases
and nobody out and the Ease runners
commenced to do the comedy, whex
these lines were not in the plsy at ali
The boys at the home sack who Were
giving the cue got balled up en6
when dawn appeared two men hac
been caught mapping. There waT-
ore or two just such bad plays Ar
this on baeee.
. Eliminating this feature Of ~
game it was one of the best ev>'"
seen CD local diamond and ti!s
locals are entitled to all kinds y:
credit for the showing made. tn"
have developed as fast bunch j;
amateurs as there is in the state aAs
play ball all the time. A little mo
| systematic team work and bettt.
signaling for the runners on IT,
bases would help hole lot.
Jim Boyle was at his best yestet
day and pitched a steady even game
| throughout. He famed seven meI
and did not allow a single pipiE
walk to the first sack. he IVES
backed up In excellent style by Eddi*
Boyle at second, Temrleton at sho11
and Pat EoyIe at third, but FIVE hits
we're made off him and one Of these
was a scratch hit Ed. Ferrell was IL
the box for Little Falls. Ferrell is an
old timer on the slab and a Little
Falls team without him as pitcher
would not seem right. The locals
touched him up for eight hits, three
of them being two sackers.
The game was witnessed by the
LARGEST crowd of the season and the
Brainerd base ball teams stock has
gone soaring, and is today way above
par.
The last inning was the highly sen
sational feature of the game. Little
Falls had been in for their turn at bat
and had failed to do anything and
neither side had scored. For Brainerd
1.-TWO men went out in one two order
but Jim Boyle, nothing daunted,
slammed one out for two Dagger and
the crowd went wild. Senti was next
up and he had two strikes and three
balls called on him. Jim Boyle made
an awful risky steal for third and
succeeded in getting there. When the
last came over the plate Senti caught
It smack on the nose and scared way
up and lowered over the right garden.
A jiggermaroo playing In the right
garden for Little Falls was directly
under the bali and it was cinoh that
be would hold it and thus retire the
side, making the game more than
an ordinary nine inning affair. But
this boy, whose name appeared on the
, switch list as Hart, had butter fingers
and be dropped the ball, Jim Boyle
, sailing In like q blueribboner at
y county fair, and the game was over.
