MORRIS TAKES ANOTHER.

the Purse of SIS
Score 81.

score 7-I.
The Morris bail team played its
4tn OF July game against Herman at
hancock, and the result was the
same as it has been for the last five
4ths, victory for the home team.
Alter the ten inning game between
Herman and Morris it was thot that
the game between the two clubs on
the 4th would be an exceptionally
good one, but snch was not the case
Herman seemed to be up in the all
from the start; their fielding was
slow, and they couldn't connect with
the ball when at bat. On the other
hand, after the first inning, Morris
gave splendid exhibition of the
national game, both in the field and
at the bat, and consequently won out
easily by the score of 7 to l.
Anderson did the slab work for
Herman and he was in poor form.
His control was way off; two wild
pitches both resulting in runs, two
bases on balls and one hit by pitched
ball clearly prove his inability in
locating the plate. When he did
put them over, the locals grasped the
opponents to fatten their batting av-
erages, by pounding out singles in
every direction; eleven singles were
made by the Brown Socks" for to-
tai of seven runs. It was apparently
Anderson's off day, and he may get
back at the Morris bunch today at
Herman.
Brown was led from the stable to
do the twirling stunt for the locals,
and he had very little trouble in
keeping the Hermanites guessing.
He had good control allowing no
passes. But four singles we're made
off him, and with good support in the
first, Herman would have secured
cost by white washing. Four errors
punched in the first enabled Herman
to push one run in-the first one
made off Brown since the Decoration
day game.
In the field the Morris team was at
their best after the first round. The
beginning, however, was simply q
one act farce conducted under the
management of Capt. Warner with
''Silent Dan" and "Mud Hen" as star
actors. "Silent Dan" seems to have
entertained the idea of catching a
a grounder with his feet. and Of kick
ing it to Andy in time to cut off a
Herman runner at the plate. Dan
failed to catch the ball with his feet,
but he succeeded in booting it. He
booted the sphere in the wrong direc-
ton tho, with a result that "Ma' got
so hot that she had to use the "fan"
in order to bring the farce to salts
factory close. After the curtain
dropped in the first, the locals played
a great game in the field. Horri-
gan's unassisted double play was a
good piece of work and was one
of the features of the game. The
throw by Jones from deep center to
third was also very quick and snappy.
All the boys got into the fielding
game. and clearly demonstrated the
fact that they are, without a doubt,
one of the best fielding punches in
this cart of the country.
Herman's only score came in the
the first inning Sackett didn't start
the inning very happily for Herman;
he struck out. Bradford reached
first on an error, and went to second
where Andy attempted to cut him off
Andy had him by mile, but the
ball had just returned from bath
in small puddle of water stationed
near the back stop, and his throw
was wild. johnson raped one out
to OBrien who muffed. Meehan
went 70 first on a feeders choice, and
the bases were intoxicated. Ander-
son sent an easy one to Horrlgan |
who booted the ball around long
enough to allow Bradford to cross
t he rubber. With three on the bags,
both Stair and Wells did the Casey
stunt and the side went out,
