The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1908-04-17

Hagerman defeated the Military
Institute, four to one, in what many
declare to have been the best ball
game of the season at Amusement
Park yesterday afternoon. AS a mat
ter of record, it was the cleanest OF
the season, for but one error stands
against the players of both teams.
he visitors coming out spotless in
hat respect. 1t was a live exhibitiCS
from start to finish, and the result
vas il doubt until the last man was
out in the ninth, not so much on ac-
count of the condition of the score
rs because both teams were playing
Up on their toes and not man had
any idea of giving up.
The first inning shared equally
Two goose eggs. The first man up for
4agerman in the second was Walker,
formerly pitcher for the Institute. He
1ropped nice fly just over the home
.un fence and ran the circuit to the
music of yelling fans. The next three
men up went out. II the last half
IF the second, Wynne was the first
nan up for the Institute. Evidently
intent on making amends for Walk
er being allowed a home-run, he hit
the first ball a tremendous lick that
sent it high over the celter-felder's
head and over the fence at the ex-
treme corner of the lot, barely miss
ing on the right the big score board.
He, too, made a graceful trot around
The bases and had admiring friends
N the grand stand.
After that it was generally one
two, three up and out, until the first
of the seventh. Hagerman was at the
first Atherton went down when hit
by pitched ball. Hall swatted a sting
ing two-base hit. With a man on
second and one on third Hal Ware
went down on a base on balls, filing
the bases. Joe Ware hit the ball to
short who tried to retire the side
By making a double play. He caught
his man at second, but the runner
was safe at first and Atherton had
scored, and Hall gone to third. j.
the ball having been momeltarily
lost on account of Wynne's over
throw to second, (Which is not an
error except when the runner ad-
vances another base).
The visitors rounded things out in
the ninth by making one more run
ON Halls hit. followed by Halls ad-
vance to second on an out by Hal
Ware and Joe Wares txo-bagger.
The cadets were unable to score
after Wynne's home-run in the sec
ond. and, in fact, had but three men
on base until the last half of the
ninth, when, after a strike out by
Webster, Stains and Wynne each got
a hit Then Watkins struck out and
Montoya got base on balls. The
bases were full when Crowell came
to the bat He hit to third and was
thrown out at first.
Both teams did clean, clever, work.
There were many skillful plays. chief
among which was Kunz.s double
play in the first when he picked mp
the ball after it had struck Webster
in the breast, touched second and
threw to first. Another equally good
was Kuykendalls catch in center
field of Kunz's long drive Kukendall
reached up and caught the ball with
in a few inches of the top of the
fence. Both of these plays were most
roundly cheered by ali spectators
The feature of the game was the
pitching of Hall. for Hagerma1. His
record is excellent, but additional to
that was his steady, speedy twirling
the whole game through. better. il
