NO MORE SUNDAY BALL

The happies bunch OF rooters on the
face Of the good old earth was that
knot Of admirers who came up from
Iron Mountain last Sunday TO see the
game. The tripup took ON very much
the air Of a funeral and the fans We're
busy figuring out how badly the Iron
| Mountain team would be beaten.
One fan informed the writer that,
after great deal OF notation, num-
Grafton and division, a score OF 10 3
had been devolved.
1t was different on the way home.
The unexpected winning Of the game
worked wonders The Iron Mountain
fellows spent their money and smiled
the smile OF the victor as the train
pulled out. There was not u sorrow
full countenance aboard.
lit took search warrant 10 find any
one despondent In Crystal Falls over
the result. Crystal Falls people were,
ON the whole. as we'll pleased that
Iron Mountain got o game as they
would have been had the home team
again won. IL revived the detected
spirits of the Iron Mountain sports
and put new life into the game there.
1t was an open secret that had Iron
Mountain lost four straight the series
would have ended or rather died from
a lack OF interest. Now IL will be-
played TO finish
| 1t must not be understood that
Crystal Falls gave the game 70 Iron
Mountain. The boys won on their
merits or rather on the demerits of
the locals who had "a bad Off day.
SATURDAYS GAME.
The game Saturday was a very good
one, 1t was not game punctnred
with errors. Only one error was made
by the locals and two by Iron Noun
tain. The simple fact OF the matter
Is that Beis had the Iron Mountain
boys on his wagon and he just kept his
ponies going until he reached the
Chaplin pit, metaphorically speaking,
where he proceeded to use them for
filling. They couldn't yet him out Of
the diamond when they needed hit
most. On the contrary, Miller was
not very effective against the local
bunch They hit him when they
needed hit. Fitzgerald carried of
the lions share Of the batting honors
making two doubles and a single out
OF four times up.
Crystal Falls played IA very snappy |
game. A. throw by Michaes from
deep right field to third base was
easily the feature of the game. His
aim was perfect and put out a man
after he had been advanced by two
base hit from Nicholas bat. A
pretty catch by Michaels was another
feature. Dnsmore played good !
game at short and Melchoir put up his
usual game on second. Fred Ohm
stead held down third, both Ball and
Carter being out OF the game because
Of injuries.
Iron Mountain had four new men,
the pick OF the Green Bay team, in
their lineup. but the new fellows
didn't seem to improve the work off
the team any.
Geo. Roach, OF Norway, umpired
the games and gave good satisfaction.
The score by innings was as follows:

SUNDAYS GAME.
IL was not good game for either
team Crystal Falls went to pieces in
the third inning and allowed five
runs to pile up but after that the boys
settled down aud not another man got
past second base and only i've OF them
got first. At the bat the locals were
weak aud batted Ia hard luck. Thir-
teen men left on bases tells the story
OF hard luck Fitzgerald got nasty
crack on the throwing arm In the first
inning that almost put him out Of the
running for the balance OF the game.
