Nice Game Of Baseball is Play
ed at Union Park by
the Drummers.
FIVE PITCHERS DO WORK
Large Number of Fans Look
New Ones Over in Sea-
sons First Real Game.

| Sunday afternoon saw the first real
game Of baseball that has been play
ed at League park so far this season.
The contest was between the candi-
dates that are trying for berths on
the local team, and taking 1t on the
whole the game was NOT bad. The
Regulars, as Manager Drumm's team
was called, came under the wire win
ners over the Colts, who were in
charge Of assistant Manager Crib
ben, to the tune Of to Q.
The day was ideal for the game
and quiet number of fans attended,
there being several hundred of the
faithful on hand to look the new
ones" over and decide whether or not
they would do for this years team.
AT $3.50 o'clock the game was start
ed with Umpire Jones handling the
indicator, or at least trying to, but,
perhaps. the reason for some of his
wild decisions on balls and strikes
was due to the fact that he had to
use pebbles to keep account of the
balls and strikes, at least it was self
evident fact that something was
wrong. However, that's all gone and
past, so what's the use?
Mccormick was sent in for the
Regulars and Reese for the Colts. In
the first inning for the Colts there
was nothing doing, as Conoway hand
ed Simpsons bounder, DERRICK struck
out and Fleishman lifted to j. Daw-
son. The Regulars tailed one in
this inning, f. Dawson lifting one
to Ginger" Now, which the lad muf-
fed and Dawson went to third when
okey fumbled Now's peg to second
to catch Dawson. j. Dawson was all
to the good with a nice single to left
scoring his brother, and linn, next
up, got on by a fielder's choice. y.
Dawson got nailed at second, DERRICK
to okey. Conoway and McGinty,
next up, were easy outs by flies to
short and center.
The second and third innings drew
blanks for both sides but in the
fourth the Regulars added another
when okey fumbled Conoway's tap
with one down, McGinty. followed
with a nice two-bagger to center and
Big Bob scored the second run. linn
and Morrison then went out on easy
bounders.
The sixth inning saw the last and
third run for the Regulars, With
one down Conoway singled to right
and went to second when okey muf-
fed Bechtel's assist of McGinty's
bounder, McGinty going to first on
fielder's choice. linn was then hand
ed four bad ones and the bases were
full and one down. On an attempt
ed "squeese" Morrison singled past
second and Conoway scored. Steele
flied to Bechtel who doubled McGinty
at third and all was over.
For the Regulars Mccormick heav-
ed them over for five innings and
was relieved by Miller. Mccormick
was as wild as a March hare but
when they did come over little was
done with them as he was only touch
ed for one hit. Miller showed good
control and a perfect head and al
though touched for three hits none
were productive as they were widely
scattered.
The Colts used three pitchers Reese
for FIVE innings, Bechtel for two and
Powell for one. Reese allowed two
hits and two runs, Bechtel two hits
and one run, while Powell easily dis
posed of the three men that faced
him in the last innhg to the great
delight of the fans present.
Following is the box score:
