BOTH PLAY GOOD BASE BALL
New ulm Loses Game to Fairfax
in Sunday Play.
Both Batteries Put Up Splendid
Exhibition of Game.
Pitcher For New Ulm Sustains Bad
Injury and Weakens.

INJURY ana WeakenS.
Fate in the, guise of the tall weeds
that cover the field about the diamond
at the fair grounds played the home
team Sunday in favor of the Fairfax
team and assisted that aggrega alton of
players to win in game that was
hotly contested from start to finish.
Twice the ball lost itself among the
weeds and one time it permitted one
man to walk home and another to
make home run and the second time
allowed one man to make second on q
short drive past first.
The game was started Sunday on the
time set and the Fairfax team was al
lowed to go to bat first and went out
as rapidly as the laws of base ball will
permit. New Ulm did the same and
this was kept up until the fourth inning
when by the exercise of good base run
ming and safe hit or two the home
team was able to get two men safe to
home plate.
In the fifth Fairfax went hard after
the ball pounding out several good
hits and were able after much difficulty
in getting one man home but the local
team got down to business when it
came to bat and when the inning closed
the score was four to one.
In the mean time Emmerich in at
tempting to catch batted ball turned
his ankle and fell but was able to get
the ball to first in time to prevent the
batter making more than one base.
He sustained painful injury to his
ankle and time was called until he was
able to resume his work in the box.
This appeared to make some differ
ence in the delivery of balls and the
Fairfax boys pounded him more than
they did in the beginning of the game
They succeeded in getting man on
third and then it was that a grounder
was placed out over third and lost in
the tall grass and the batter was able
to make home run. One more score
was run in tieing the score in the sixth.
There was nothing doing in the next
two innings but in the ninth there was
blood in the eyes of the fellows from
Fairfax. They didn't like some of the
hoodlum hooting that was going on
and evidently thought that it was up
to them to show New Ulm that they
were from Missouri and in the burst
OF confidence one of them sent ball
out into center field that six legs went
after and failed to get in time to pre-
vent him from getting to second.
They went after the ball like the
mayor after the early closing law and
succeeded in making their score seven
being three more than the local team
had.
Something had to be done. Emmerich
braced his game leg as best he could
and Bohan took up the slack in his
belt and they went after results like a
congressional candidate after votes,
but they were unable to tie the score
and the game ended in favor of Fair
fax.
The features of the game were evenly
distributed. Emmerich's swift balls
fooled the Fairfax batters and the slow
curves of the Fairfax pitcher fooled
the batters of the local team. The
catching of both teams was good.
There was excellent field work on both
sides and to all appearances the two
teams are about evenly matched.
There was disposition on the part
OF some of the rooters to play even
with what is claimed to be poor treat
ment of the New Ulm team when it
played at Fairfax last year and some
shameful remarks and threats were
made by a number of irresponsible
young fellows that disguised the spec
tators and was not calculated to in
spire pleasure in the hearts of the
visitors. It was very coarse and
should have been prevented by the
officers of the team
Whatever the treatment of the home
