Unfavorable weather kept away part
of the crowd but none of the enthusi-
| asm OF the baseball fans. After Colonel
Kent sped the first ball over the plate,
both teams sailed in to win.
Pillsbury came first to bat and found
the ball for three runs. But Sheldon
stopped the fun right there, throwing the
next three men out i'll fine style. Man
/ katO came up to bat and then walked
out again. The sky was dark.
| Logue lined out a two Dagger for the
visitors and was advanced to home by a
couple of short grounders by Middering
and Pickering but he was the only man
to cross the plate.
Plymat and G. Sheldon were given
| free pass to first, Nicholson followed up
with clever little bunt that filled the
bases. b. Rabe lofted well placed two
Dagger bringing in two men, Sheldon and
Conklin hit the air, Giblin found the
leather for another two base hit and a
dou bled score. H. Rabe made good on
connections but was caught out on first.
The sun peeped out; score to 4.
In the next four innings, Pillsbury was
completely mired. Couldn't get farther
than second base at best, while the home
boys piled up nice little lead. In the
third, with Krost on first, Plymat bunt
ed down to third, making two bags and
bringing krost in with the visitors
throwing everywhere. SheldOn's bat and
the ball weren't intimate friends. Mick
elson made single, helping Plymat to
score, Rabe followed with another, but
a neat double play put him and Nickel
son out on first and second. The fourth
inning brought in two runs by III. Rabe
and Giblin. The fifth saw nothing doing
while i'm the sixth. c. Sheldon and Conk
lin swelled the score to ten with the visi-
tors still clinging to their four. The sun
was shining.
A run by each side in the seventh
closed fine game, with the sun out all
| the time. Score II to i'll favor of Man
