Business Men Royalty Entertained BY
Northern Neishbor.


base ball game with the business msr
of Great Bend was accepted and the
game pulled off Wednesday afternoon
About forty of our people visited the
hustling city on the north. and they
were royalty entertained. All the
business houses closed up for the af-
laft and notSit hstanding a hard rain
had visited that section, the contest
ing teams with their usual number Of
rooters headed by Hoisington's excel
lent band, marched to the bali field
where a temporary diamond was laid
out and business began to pick up.
The lineup for Great Bend was az
Chapman. pitcher; DR.. Meade, LIST has
Emmett Putnam, End base; Fred Rich
ardson, Bird base; DR.. Sutherland, s.;
George Merritt, right field; DIR. Rus,
sell, center field; Dave Himrod, left
field.
Hoisington's lineup was, Shepherd,
catcher; Wagner, pitcher; Willard, Ii
base; DR.. McCauley, End base; Glead-
all, 3rd base; Cornelius, IS; Geo. Nuss
right field; Pieper center field; Beck
EFT, left field.
'0f course both teams underwent
more or less changing, but that was
the way they started. A machinist
named Dunlap was the umpire, and
he did fine work. Never got roasted
once. His decisions were all on the
square. In the first inning the Bend
ties got onto Mr.. Wagner, and the
fire works started when Emmett Put
nam got three base hit, bringing in
: two scores. When the side was retire
there were five markers up. Chap
man held the Hoisington people down
to one run. In the second inning Nc
Cauley went into the box for Hoising-
ton. Vow Frank is very clever and
fine young man. He was easily the
+. all star player Of the Hoisington bri-
gade, and with that mighty right arm
of his he prevented the Benders from
scoring. The Hoisington boys were
treated the same way by our team.
Then came the merry-go-round. Whel
1t stopped Great Bend had secured
seven more runs. McGauley was get.
ting tired, and he was hit hard. DR..
Russell got three base hit, Fred
Richardson done business to the ex.
tent Of breaking the bat, and by meal
of the fielders losing the ball, Himrod
made home run. Yes, he did. OF
course the Benders felt good. In all
this work it is only fair to state that
the rooters did their share, well cap.
toned and led by Arthur Taylor. The
Hoisington boys also got busy about
this time, and added three scores to
their string. In the fourth inning Nc
Uauley went in to catch and Pieper
pitched. He made short work Of the
: boys and then Hoisington made an
other score. The next inning was a
goose egg for both sides, and in the
sixth Chapman and Himrod retired
their places being taken by DR.. Amend
and Clyde Moore. Great Bend added
a score, and Putnam who went into
the box held the Hoisington boys to I
googe egg, although Walden went il
as a substitute. In the seventh Mr.
Pieper was getting tired, and wher
the smoke of battle cleared away tn,
Benders had made eight more scores
and the game was called off. Total Il
score for yourself, we have not tn,
time.
. The game was good natured on
throughout. Everyone enjoyed it,
large crowd was present, and the bo
Quets handed DR.. Meade as a first ba
man we're profuse. In fact the Doc
tor was invincible. Keegan won mucl
applause for his work behind the bal
and the team as a whole was wei
spoken of. And the Hoisington pes

to state that they are a fine lot o
players. OF course, Roy Cornelius feI

of the boys who deserves special me
