ELY EASILY WON
BASEBALL GAME
WITH LANE CITY
Contest Was Pretty Much One-Sided
Although There We're Some
Good Plays.

practice yesterday afternoon and
tried out a couple of new players,
when Ely won over Lane City by the
score of 15 to 7. The errors were
not kept track of, as those who
scored had their hands full jotting
down the hits and runs. 1t was not
an errorless game. Far was it from
such. Some good plays, however,
kept up the interest of the large and
enthusiastic crowd. One feature that
marred the playing on both sides was
the heavy wind that at times blew up
so much dust it was difficult to keep
track of the ball. The water in deep
center field was disturbed by the ball
upon a couple of occasions, when
home runs were made. Jensen proved
too much of puzzle for the Lane
City boys, while the locals soon
found what Mitchell had. Porch
proved a good umpire.
The first inning started with Nc
Curdy of Lane City at the bat. He,
Jabelman and Hinton soon went out
Die 1pn started the ball rolling in
tie feld for Ely, but was thrown
out in his attempt to steal second.

and. Bousquet took a walk He didn' I
ge' very far, however, as Stockton
struck out.
Mitchell reached first on a hit to
thrd and Hinton followed him by
hitting to right field. Bennett fan
med and Freeman hit to second,
thereby making it easy to put out
Hinton. Mitchell had slipped around
to third and scored before Kirchen

Ely by walking and cleverly stealing
second. McNulty hit the air three
times and Shade reached first with
a nice hit over second. A wild pitch
and Upton came home. Jensen
landed at first on the first baseman's
error, but Kennedy famed. Dicker-
son fouled out to the third baseman.
Wade started operations at the
ending of the third by throwing his
bat after he had hit the ball to the
pitcher. The sphere was fumbled
and he reached first safely McCurdy
struck out while Jabelman made a
clean hit to center. Ezell had to
take the bench while Mitchell hit to
third, but Wade was caught at that
plate.
Connors sent the ball into left
field and Bousquet went out on a
bunt. Stockton put pretty one over
third and Connors scored. Stockton,
however, tried to steal second and
failed. McNulty hit the ball an aw-
