Town Team Scores Lightly on
Our Near Neighbors.
When the New Ulm high school
team left this city for Springfield Sat-
urday morning they were bent upon
one sole object and determined to
carry their projects to finish. They
had been defeated by the Springfield
aggregation of base ball players and
to scalp them this time was their OBJ
ject. The true spirit of the Invincible
Germans was retained and at the end
OF the closing inning the score stood s
to in their favor
Nine hearts so enraptured with JOY
never beat more loudly within the
thora3 of a base ball player than did
those of the lavender and cream boys.
1t was their first hard fought game of
the season in which they succeeded
in carrying off the honors of the
field.
When the two teams took their re-
spective positions New Ulm was to
bat. Mueller was the first of the home
boys that was given an opportunity to
put his trade mark on the ';wagon
tongue" and he did this on very short
notice, stealing to home and third
and scoring on Collins hit. The lat
ter reached second through wild
throw. This was followed by three
men out and Springfield came to bat
and scored one on a pitched ball and
an error, making the score at the end
of the first inning to l in favor of
our boys. The second wound mp with
no advancement but the third resulted
in a score for New Ulm by Mueller
and one for Springfield. Score to 2.
The next three innings were nip and
tuck, each side glaring wildly at the
other, and like falcons bouncing upon
them before they reached the square
bag.
In the sixth inning the German
blood that coursed the veins of the
green clothed boys became heated and
gave the fans new courage, three men
crossing the plate in succession.
The seventh inning opened up with
two men on bases who were brought
home by two Dagger from Kretsch
and increased the local teams score
by =. Yet this consecutive addition of
figures to the glory of the New Ulm
team must be hindered and it came
through injuries sustained by num-
Der of players, allowing Springfield to
run in four scores. This completed
the days game with the score standing
8 to in favor of New Ulm.
During the game Burmeister, who
occupied the pitchers box allowed no
hits, while Neussle, Springfeld's
twirler, allowed hits.
Fifteen Of the pressed brick boys
were struck cut by New Ulm's battery
and nine of the cream and lavender
lads were asked to take back seat by
Neussle.
Throughout the game each and every
player took the role of a gentleman
and the fact that no rank decisions
were made by the umpires made the
game of SO much greater interest.
This now places the teams in posi-
ton to play one more game for the
championship and this will be arrang-
ed as soon as possible.
A game has been arranged with
Sleepy Eye next Saturday at the Fair
Grounds and it is expected that good
crowd will turn out to witness them.
Another interesting and exciting
game of base ball was played at the
Fair Grounds Sunday between the
town team and the CORTLAND men,
which resulted in defeat for the yisi-
tors to the tune of to 4
1t was a clean game of base ball
that was put up by both teams, some
excellent base and field work being
done. Spaeth and Alvin were the
battery for the town team.
Base ball games in this city seem to
have but little interest for the citizens
at least this is assumed to be the case
from the few spectators that were pres
ent. A good baseball team is an adj
vertisement for any town and should
