out Much Trouble.
Some Brilliant Playing on Both
Sides Was Feature.
With Half an Inning to Play Score
Was Thirteen to One.
The game of ball played Sunday be-
tween New Ulm and Sleepy Eye, while
twas not the best that has been played
on the local diamond, it was game
that could be enjoyed. It was free
from any disagreeable features and
the playing on both sides was good
and in many cases brilliant Some
splendid batting was done by both
sides but the field work of the Sleepy
Eye boys was not up to that done by
the New Ulm team and the battery of
the visitors was very weak.
There was an unusual number of
foul balls and there were frequent
stampedes in the grand stand as we'll
as among those who were in the field,
to get out of range of a wild ball, one
of these struck Alois Gulden on the
cheek bone cutting through the flesh
and giving him q very ugly wound.
he was sitting in the judges stand on
the railing and the wonder is that the
blow did not cause him to fall to the
ground. The misfortune had the effect
of clearing the field and giving the
people who were in the grand stand a
better view of the diamond.
The game opened with Sleepy Eye
to bat and there was very little doing
in the first inning. Both sides were
sparring for a chance to get acquainted
with the pitchers. This they did very
effectively and for time Sleepy Eye
had little trouble in batting Mueller
though they were unable to make safe
on the hits they secured.
New Uln famed out in the first in
ming and in the second after two men
were out and two we're on bases, to the
spectators it looked like democratic
victory in Minnesota, when Mueller
grabbed bat and planted himself in
the box. There was hope in the hearts.
of fanville then for Mueller looked
like man who had had tip on the
stock market and was selling short in
the face of certain success. He sue
ceeded in planting ball where the
sons of the county seat fighters could
not get it and allowed one man an
easy chance to score.
In this inning by dint of good base
stealing one of the Sleepy Eye men
managed to get on third, the nearest
any of them had so far got to the
home plate, when the side went out.
There was nothing doing in the third
inning, both sides going out in short
order. Then in the fourth Sleepy Eye
failed to have the grip and pass word
and the doors were again closed
against them, while New Ulm was per-
mitted to get one man home before the
side was put out.
In the fifth Sleepy Eye came to bat
with all the confidence of a republican
running for Office in Ohio and took
their defeat with good grace while they
watched their opponents follow them
with two more scores amid the cheers
of those in the grand stand.
Too much confidence in themselves
and bad error on the part of the New
Ulm players at first allowed Sleepy
Eye to get one man home in the begin
ming of the sixth inning and the boys
looked as though they had just received
message from home when they were
compelled to get out. Pfeiffer, on
third made 9 grand stand play that
was hummer and the bow that he
gave the spectators was a whole ad-
dress of welcome in itself. When New
Ulm came to bat it was evident that
the boys had decided that it was time
to punch the time card and get down
to business.
Three scores were run in, the credit
of which was largely due to grand
stand play made by Pfeiffer who sue
ceeded IN driving the ball out into the
field and allowing two men to run in,
and the boys from Sleepy Eye looked
at each other like wax figures in a
secondhand store.
In the seventh inning Sleepy Eye
did some good batting but failed tc
make 8 score and New Ulm scored
twice with evident ease, the Sleepy
Eye pitcher apparently getting tired
and losing control Of the ball.
Itwas evident in the eighth inning
that Sleepy Eye had failed to bring its
rabbit foot for they played in hard
luck and retired from the inning with
out making a score. When New UIm
came to bat they were face to face with
q new pitcher, but Schneider firted
