SPLIT EVEN AGAIN
cpstal Falls and Eseanaba Divided Honors
Last Sunday

LAST SUNDAY
Two very good games Of base ball
were played az the park last Sunday
between the Escanaba and locals teams.
The first game was started at 900
o. clock with Oswald on the slab for the
locals and Modem for Escanaba.
Had the locals given Oswald the sup
port that they gave the pitcher in the
second game Crystal Falls would have
won. Oswald did remarkably well
holding Escanaba to fve hits mex
perience in fielding his position allow
ed run, one error in the field another
and an error at second two more. The
locals got six hits on Nclden, who was
well supported by his team mates and
proved himself to be a good man on the
rubber.
In the second game Henry Olmstead,
the famous American Association
pitcher, went into the box for Escanaba
while st. John did duty for the locals.
Both pitchers were very effective, each
team getting two hits TO It's credit.
Olmstead lost his own game through
wildness, his passing Of men telling
against him very much.
81. John pitched remarkable game
and was given perfect support by the
locals. There never was time when
Escanaba had chance Ia win, from
the start 10 the finish.
The petulence of the Olmsteads,
Henry and Fred whose jealousy OF
their reputation seemed TO be upper
most, brought considerable janglihg
into the second game. One prolonged
kick resulted in a threat 10 quit on the
part OF Escanaba that was altogether
uncalled for Olmstead had passed
several men and Brice iockeyed be-
tween second and third with Dowd on
third in hopes Of getting Dowd home.
Fred Olmstead was playing short and
the ball was tielded 70 him he return
ing il to Matt at the plate. MacKin
was mp TO bat and stood in the box.
The throw was low and Matt dived
between Mackins legs and. with
II. Olmstead, blocked the runner who
ducked around them and scored Um-
pire Carter couldn see how far out Of
the lines Dowd ran the runner having
the privilege Of three feet and gave
the runner the benefit Of the doubt.
The spectators were divided on the
merits Of the decision, but Olmstead
insisted on the runner being called ont
or he wouldn't play In the interest
Of harmony Manager Corcoran decided
10 lea the man be called out The
Escanaba boys may have been right in
their contention, aud then again they
may not have been. hut there was Ger
tainly no call for ''quit" as the nm
piriLg, up 10 that point, had not been
questioned ON any decision. II came
through the jealousies Of tine Olmsteads
because Nolden has the better luck in
games with Crystal Falls
Olmsteads pitching was excellent,
In every sense except that he had not
good control. No one IS seeking to
knock" his pitching but he will
have 10 show better control both of the
ball and his temper than he showed
here 10 get back into the graces OF the
big fellows.
The score Of the second game was
2 30 1.
The locals were quite disorganized
owing to the absence OF Phil Shaw
from the game. ST. John played the
field in one game and Ed Lucas in
the second. Nemacheck did not ap-
pear in the games because Of some
disagreement with the management.

are characteristic Of the gentleman

in Escanaha instead Of Kansas City,
