miners CHAGRINtD OVER RESULT

11o was RioNAStOt SLC BuLhC Ouhudy
between Red Cliff and Glenwood was
the most exciting exhibition of base
ball seen on the local diamond this
season
The old argument that game filled
with plenty of hitting and base-run-
ming is more exciting and interesting
than where two teams engage in what
is termed pitchers battle, was up
held in Sundays contest. The crowd
was kept on the anxious seat from the
tap of the gong until the last man was
ont in the tenth inning, as first one
side and then the other was ahead.
Req Cliff started off with rush
and scored three runs before the Glen
wood boys could get their breath.
Then the Pets came in and duplicated
the trick, tying the score. In the
second and third the locals piled up
four more runs while the visitors
could get but one and the game looked
like pipe for Glenwood.
In the fifth the visitors came to life
and by punching hits scored three
runs and forged ahead. In the locals
half Manly got on base through an
error and by clever work on the bases
scored run on II short outfeld fly
and again tied the score.
For couple of innings after this
neither team could put runner over
the pan but in the ninth Red Cliff got
man around the circuit and went to
the bench feeling that the game was
won.
After two men we're retired for
Glenwood it was hundred to one bet
that the game was lost, but Johnston
came to the rescue by driving hot
one to second and was safe on FUN
BILE. Frank Ewing followed and got
to first on another error. Mangnall
tore off clean hit and the bases were
full. 1t was up to Captain Manly and
he stepped up to the plate and walked
into slashing single over the third
baseman's s head and Johnston scored,
Ewing being thrown ont at the plate.
For the fourth time the game was
tie and the crowd was in an uproar.
The Red Cliff fellows were as mad as
hatters at the sudden turning of defeat
into an even chance to win for the
locals and went to the bat in the tenth
determined to do or die. They made
good try and got one man to third
but failed to get the desired hit and
were retired with second and third
occupied.
Then the fun began. Toepfer got
Texas Lacquer back of second and went
to second when Ran Richards missed
Surdan's easy fly Hansford stepped
up to the plate and on the second ball
pitched raped out a curking single to
left center, scoring Toepfer and win
ming the game.
There was quite lot of betting on
the result and the game was hot one
from the standpoint of desire to win
The two teams have played three
games this season Glenwood winning
them all. In the first contest the Pets
were easy victors but the second was
an eleven, inning affair and resulted in
the close score Of 3 to 2. Sunday the
Red Cliff team felt sure of winning,
and after making an uphill fight and
apparently winning the game in the
ninth they were forced to take the
bitter dose Of seeing their rivals pull
the game out of the fire and win out
in easy fashion in the tenth. Such is
baseball luck'.
The same teams will pr obably play
here Sunday September and from the
rivalry existing it is sure to be one OF
the hardest fought contests that has
ever taken place in Glenwood. The
fans will surely get their money rs
worth when these two teams again
clash for honors.
The following is the official score
of the game and it will be seen that
