TwelVe-Features OF the Game.
Fifty-two dollars and sixty cents
| have been turned into the Norfolk city
| library fund as result of the base
ball game that was played yesterday
afternoon between teams representing
the Mast block and the Bishop block
| The Mast people, who had issued the
challenge went To pieces in the sixth
inning and allowed the Bishops n half
dozen scores, losing the game right
there In this inning six safe hits
were scored off Twirler Pasowalk, who
had held the Bishops down to three
singles and double up until that
! time.
In recountng the scores this morn.
ing on the official score board, it was
found that the Masts had made thir.
teen instead of twelve as was thought
last night. The error was in the ad.
dition of scores made in the third in.
ming, when four instead of three runs
were made. They were made by Par.
ker, Ulach Asmus, Mayer. In hur.
riedly adding the figures at the game,
Harry Vaughn, the ex-league player
who kept the score up to the seventh
inning, made this slight error, whose
correction brings the total II to 13.
There was none of your fat-man and
lean-man baseball in the exhibition be.
tween the two pickup teams that
clashed on the diamond yesterday.
No, indeed 1t was the real, genuine
article from start to finish, with gin.
gerry playing all the way around and
some sensational stops of hard hits
that would rival the wilkins colts of
a few years ago
Some of the Star Features.
In fact, some of the players distin.
guished themselves on that diamond
and displayed evidence of having at
some time or other in their lives played
the sterling game for blood
For instance, there was the splen-
did pitching of Percy Sullivan, who
really did much toward winning the
game for the Bishops. Sullivan is n
bank clerk at the Nebraska National,
but that didn't interfere with his work
out there in the box. He pitched the
entire nine innings, allowed but five
scattered hits during the whole game
and struck out eighteen men at the
plate. After Anderson went into the
position at backstOp, where he sur
prised everybody by his sure catching.
Sullivan allowed but one hit in six
innings, and only one score was made
by the Masts in the last six innings
Sullivan gave but one man a base on
balls, struck one batter with ball
and played an extremely heady game
all the way through. He fielded in
great shape and was up on his toes
from start to finish. Besides that, he
made two hits out of five times up.
Then there was the remarkable
catch made by Sol G. Mayer in the
, center field. There was one out and
Madsen at bat. AL landed the ball
away high up in the air and the little
sphere circled out and out and out,
until the grandstand almost lost sight
of 1t. Sol stood in his tracks and ate
it up as though he were trap when
the tall fly dropped into his hands. It
was as good as professional ball and
the crowd cheered. Sol took off his
hat and retired after that, while his
reputation was good He had been at
the bat once, made one of the few hits
for the Masts, got a run and went out
of the play with record of 1000.
Another sensational feature was
one-handed catch made by Pa Burn
ham on first base, when a wild throw
was handed to him. Nobody thought
for minute that he would get 1t. But
the big first baseman who has been
mentioned for the United States SEN
ate, allowed no opportunities to pass
him, jumped high up in the air,
snapped the ball out of the skies with
his bare hand and put the side out
1t resembled the one-handed stops of
hot bee-iners that old Cap. Anson of
Chicago used to make in his palmy
days. And nobody could convince the
crowd that Burnham hadn't played real
hot baseball at some time in his life
Dad Ransom was another fielder
who distinguished himself as rat
tling good baseball player. c. S. P.
batted out a long, high fly into the
center field and started to run like
an antelope for first base. Kaufman
waved him aside. Ransom had made
a hard run, got under the blooming
thing and then, by the gods of war,
gobbled it up. He made two safe hits
in the game.
Billy Logan demonstrated that he
came from Ponca, where all good ball
players come from. Out of six times
at bat he lined out two two-baggers
and a single, knocked a fly to Pase-
walk that was eaten up persuaded
Pasey to give him two bases on balls
and made three scores. His field work
was also clever.
