NORRIS 4, GLEWOOD
The local ball team went to Glen
wood June 27, and played little
: game of ball with the ball tossers
there, incidently giving the boys of
''clayvllle' little swig of the shut
out dope. At no time did the mud
mixers" have a chance to win the
game. They could not hit except in
some ones hands, and consequently
secured but one hit off Brown. Nor
ris played faultleesly in the field, and
found johnson for two home runs
and six singles which netted four
runs, making the score of the game
to 0 in our favor.
Brown did the slab work for Nor |
ris and had a very easy time of it |
thruout the game. He threw slow
ball continually, and seemed to be
able to put it where the other fellow
l,oSA Gle f. I,5+
was made off him and that came in
the seventh, when, with Peterson on
first, johnson laid bunt along the
third base line. Brown had plenty
of time to put johnson out as the
bunt was poor one, but, as he was
sprinting toward the ball, his foot I
struck some unknown lake, situated !
somewhere along the third base line, {
and the "big fellow" struck the clay. |
He had the ball, but could not recov
er in time to throw. Such was the
hit record of the Glenwoodites.
johnson also pitched good game,
keeping the hits we'll scattered until
the seventh, when he allowed Morris
to bunch three hits together with a
base on balls, netting two earned
runs.
In the field as at the bat our fell
lows cIearlyIout classed their oppon-
ents. Their work was great, and
many times during the game, hits
were cut off by the brilliant work of
our play ers. The work in the outfeld
should receive special mention. In
the second Jones made a beautiful
catch of difficult fly. In the fourth
the "little ope" came under the lime
light once more, and old "Mud Hen
O'Brien took care of two hard flies.
P. Rigg gave Danielson the opportu-
nifty of doing a little something in
the field by sending out long foul.
The s:llttle fellow" was in deep left,
and as soon as the ball was knocked,
started on 'sdead run" for the tall
weeds to his right. After long
sprint of about thirty feet, he reached
the proper spot. .sThe ball fell into his
hands, and one of the prettiest plays
Of the day was over. O'Brien, by
pushing thru mud and water in right
aald made two catches which would
do honor to Denny" Sullivan.
O,Brien was plotting around
in small canoe, which was stationed
in rightfeld by the sGlenwood man
