MANkATO WINS The THIRD.
Closely Contested Game Gives
Championship to Blue
Earth Metropolis.
st. Peter Shut Out in What Was
Unquestionably Pitchers
Battle.
Fully Two Thousand People Wit.
ness the Spirited Struggle
for Supremacy.

Manager Duane of the ST. Peter Her
aid and St. Peter base ball team has
been consulting the dictionary.
He says now that the word snear"
is a good word.
Therefore the ST. Peter Browns are
linear champions.
M. D. Fancher, sponsor for the Man
kato club, says it came high, but they
needed the money!
Therefore it was that McCleary was
pitted against Bartos.
Consequently it was a pitchers bat
tie.
st. Peter had won one game at St.
Peter by a score of 6 to 4; Mankato
had won one game at Mankato by a
score of 5 to 4.
The third game was to determine the
championship, and this game was to
be played at New Ulm.
It was played last Sunday.
Naturally interest was at fever
heat.
Two thousand roofing enthusiasts
were on hand to witness the outcome.
They came by automobile, they
came by train, they came by team,
they came by foot.
It was the base ball game of New
Ulm's history.
Frank Force of the Minneapolis
Tribune was the umpire, and it is
Frank Forces story, specially written
for the Review, that we depend on for
truthful account OF the game. Mr..
Force says:
It was pitchers battle through
out. McCleary was a triie stronger
than Bartos, but both pitched magni-
fcent ball.
McCleary allowed but one hit and
struck out fourteen men. Bartos
! famed out twelve, but permitted three
men to take first base on what, in base
! ball parlance, are considered safe hits.
AS showing the excellent work of the
! star performers, only two passes were
given to each club during the nine in
nings of the play.
In the first two rounds both sides
went down in one, two, three order
with a prospect of long drawn-out
game without any scores. In the last
half of the third Nicholson led out
with clean drive to center for two
bases and scored moment later on a
hit over short by Capt. Giblin.
/. This was the only score that Man.
kato should have made, but in the
sixth inning the ST. Peter felders
wobbled and gave the game away be-
yond recall. Krost of the Mankate
team singled in this inning and wen
to second on a fly from Plymat which
was mufhed in the field. Then one O.
the RABIES sacrificed both men along {
base and Krost scored the final run O.
the game when W. Rabies ground bal
was juggled at second.
st. Peter had but one chance tC
score and this was in the eighth in
ming. With two men out, Bartos drew
the only ST. Peter hit of the afternoon
by driving out single to left. Bar
tos then went to third when fly wa:
dropped out in the field, and the ST
Peter fans began to yell for d score
The next man up should have attemp
ted the strike of his life, but instead
of that he hunted and practically pu
an end to the game. McCleary was
steady in the ninth and st. Peters
chances of winning the championship
together with the majority Of the gate
receipts and a purse of 800, wen
| glimmering.
