From Mondays Daily.
Another scalp was added to the Y.
NJ c. A. string Saturday afternoon by
their winning the ninth straight vie
tory in a game with the Gophers of st.
Paul, representing Foley Bros. 4 Kelley.
Score q to |.
The home team would have scored a
shutout but for errors as the visitors
did not secure an earned run. The
Gophers used two pitchers but they
We're both found easily by the local hit
tiers who clouted two and three baggers
al around the field.
The features of the game were the
fielding of Dan Murphy, who accepted
several hard chances in left field; the
pitching of "Bilf' Rabe. who struck out
twelve men and allowed only two hits !;
and a double play executed by the
Gophers to second baseman.
The crowd was one of the best of the
season and the visiting team were high.
" pleased with the treatment received
at the hands of the crowd and the Y.
NJ. C. A. They admitted that the Y.
NJ. c. A. team is the equal of any anna.
teur team IN the Twin cities.
The st. Anthony Park Picketts have
been booked for next Saturday. They
have defeated all the teams they have
met this season and the probabilities
are that the local team will have to
hustle to keep its record of victories
broken.
1t is hoped that the time will soon
come when Mankato can have a ball
park worthy of the name. One reason
why people do not attend the games is
the lack of grand stand and bleachers
where they could take comfort during
the game. Mankato is large enough
and there is sporting blood" in plenty
to support real ball park. Smaller
towns can do so. Mankato can do it.
There is not much pleasure in watch
ing a ball game if one is forced to
stand up all the while.
