New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1908-07-22
The Week on the Diamond.
By "Sei. !"

In one of the most one-sided contests
ever witnessed by local fandom, New
Ulm defeated Waseca Sunday with a
score Of IL to 0.
It was the rubber game of the
Waseca-New Ulm series and demon
strated, beyond any question, the
superiority of the local players.
Moreover, the weather was ideal and
the largest crowd of the season was on
hand to witness the locals signal
triumph.
Starting at shortly after two o. CLOCK,
the game was played in exactly one
hour and five minutes, which is five
minutes less than it took to play the
New Ulm-J anesville game and there
fore the record for contests played on
the local grounds.
Cap. Mueller, the New Ulm favorite,
was on the mound for the home team
and pitched the most remarkable game
of his career. Not single hit did he
allow, nor did single Waseca player
reach first until the close of the final
inning. In this inning, after two men
had been declared out and two strikes
had been called on Gallagher, the
latter hit grounder to Collins at
second and Collins thinking it was an
easy one missed the ball and thus al
lowed the only visitor to reach first.
Mueller, however, struck out the next
man, and thereby ended the most phe-
nomenal game he had ever pitched.
Collins, with the exception of this one
error, played rattling good ball.
'sCoach'' Seifert likewise distin-
guished himself by making, in the
fourth inning, one of the most sensa-
tional home steals ever seen on the
local diamond, doing this while
Pitcher Gallagher was in the act Of
delivering the ball. Seifert also did
good work when he cut off what
seemed to be a sure hit by throwing
out Smith at first from right field,
Stringer, who played first for the
locals, fitted into the place as if he
had been built for it and Chapman as
catcher during the first four innings
was terror to the visiting batsmen.
"Klondike" Schneider was likewise
there with the goods, both at short and
at the bat.
Dietz of Sanborn played in center
field for the locals, but had little
chance to show the stuff of which he is
known to be made.
Smith was the only Waseca player
who won honors for his team, his
fielding being excellent. AS d batter
at Waseca on the Fourth he managed
to get four hits off Of Mueller, but on
Sunday, for some reason or other he
failed to connect.
New Ulm inaugurated its sWatfest
with six runs in the first inning and
continued the smuggling match with
four more in the fourth, the final score
being made in the fifth. After that the
game was more even, but at no time
were the locals not more than match
for the visitors. They put up the
snappiest game of the season and won
because they deserved to win. The
score by innings was as follows:
New Ulm 6 90 4 1 Q 0 0 Ill
Waseca Q 0 0 0 0 0 0 o.
What ought to be a decidedly inter-
esting game will be played at the fair
grounds next Saturday. The CON
testants will be the New Ulm Regulars
and the Arlington Greys.
Sleepy Eye defeated Springfield
Sunday with a score Of 3 to /. The
game was played on the Sleepy Eye
grounds.
Next Sunday, on the home grounds,
New Ulm will play Kasota. The
following Sunday the locals will go
to Springfield.
The fast Morgan bunch lost two
games this week, one to Arlington
with score of 2 to 10 and the other to
Gibbon with a score of to 4.
