The copper era., 1906-07-05

really deserve credit for winning the
game. When the old timers get
back into form, the Colts will have a
strong team and will be able to make
things interesting for the Morenci
second nine. Lancaster, the man.
ager of the Colts, held down second
in good shape and worried the right
fielder with several long safe hits.
The best is always saved for the
last, SO in the afternoon the newly
married Stiffs mixed things with the
Colts in the presence of very en-
thusiastic grand stand. The warm
up consisted of many professional
movements on the part of the old
leaguers and their foot work i'm
mediately captured the eyes of the
spectators. Much interest prevailed
as the spectators picked out the good
Van Dorm and Greer, who are per-
haps the best players on the old
stiff team as far as reputation in con-
cerned. Well, the game was started
by the Stiffs taking the field and
from the very start it could be seen
that there was going to be something
doing as the old boys retired the
Colts with a goose-egg. From the
movements of the Stiffs it could
plainly be seen that they were going
to save themselves for the finish and
the first half was retired without a
score. The game went along in this
manner until the third inning, when
the Colts were donated three scores
to make them feel good. This dona-
ton livened up the Colts con-
siderably and possessed enough gin
ger to cause the grandstand to take
more interest in the game. Things
logged along with the same score
until the last half of the sixth inning,
when the Stiffs decided that the
Colts had had enough fun and pro-
ceeded to get some runs. The first
two men. were instructed to strike
out, which they did, and then the
next batter was told to start the fire
works. A two-bagger was the result.
The next batter brought him in and
thus the hitting was continued until
four runs had been made, when the
players were told to let up and catch
their breath. The score was now
4-3 in favor of the Stiffs and the
Colts began to scratch their heads.
They scored one run in the seventh,
tieing the score. In the last half of
the same inning the Stiffs batted
around until they made one more
run, just to keep the lead. At the
close of the eighth the Colts had in
creased their total to six runs, which
was tied by the Stitfs with the in
tention of making another in the
ninth. But instead the Colts were
favored by the umpire, who gave
them a score by going to sleep and
not noticing that the last man went
out to first. In fact he did not see
not call him out without seeing the
play. This reused the Stiffs to d
high rage and they decided that they
could not beat team with the UNI
pire thrown in. And thus the game
closed with the score standing IS in
favor of the Colts.
The line-ups were as follows: Stiffs-
Hildreth, Weisbecker, Anderson,
Noll, Jacobson, Danenhauer, Greer,
Kerby and Van Dorm: Colts-Alex-
ander, Fred Deck, Joe Deck, Lam
caster, Erwin, Whitley, Seigel, Riley
and Badger Lyons, with Umpire
Hugh Forbes as substitute.
The hitting of Van Dorm and Greer
captured the grandstand while the
fielding of Jim Kerby was perfect.
Danenhauer and Weisbecker chopped
the atmosphere most of the time and
were accused of throwing the game,
though Weisbecker struck out d
number of the Colts at the finish of
the gamc tn redeem himself. Dutch
