TAKES TWO FROM SLEEPY EYE
Mankato Won Easily From the Rock
Springs Aggregation.

From Mondays Daily.
Mankato easily took both games
from the Rock Springs team, Shake
pee, taking the first game to l and
the second 0 to 3.
Nlankato started the scoring i'm the
second inning. Kennedy was first up
and struck out, Giblin singled, and
stole second. Monyhan secured walk
and Fred Wines drove out a pretty
single, scoring Giblin. Rognas then
drove out two Dagger, scoring Mony
han. Kehoe and Frank Wines both
struck out. In the fifth inning Glib
lin was first up and secured a walk
he was sacrificed to second by Mony-
han and came home on Rognas' single
Rognas then stole second and came
home on Kehoe's two Dagger Frank
Wines ended the inning, flying out to
right field. Mankato's last score came
in the sixth inning when King New
gard was first up and drove out a
two Dagger. Mullane and Kennedy
both struck out but Giblin was there
with a two Dagger scoring Newgard
for MankatO's last score Monyhan
had the Rock Springs boys swining
their head off all during the game and
only three scattered hits were secured
off his delivery. They never were
dangerous. 1t was not until the eighth
inning that a Shakopee man reached
second base and he died there In the
ninth inning with two men down
Peck singled, went to second and then
to third on errors and came home
when Kennedy dropped Merits pop up
FurS ended the misery by striking
out.
| In the saconG game. ii was McCleary
against Bartos and then way Jack got
his was nothing slow. He was showed
up fine for the Mankato boys took
kindly to his curves and Strengthened

Jack seemed to be in awful misery all
the way through as it must have
broken his heart to see Mankato give
him such an awful drubbing. McCleary
was not in his usual form and ter
safe ones were secured OH MS delivery
Mankato started things early, getting
one run in the first inning, three in
the third, one in the fifth, one in the
seventh and three in the eighth. Bar
tos worked hard all the way through
but it was of no avail as he didn't
have a thing, and then besides he
wasn't given very good support by his
team mates. Shakopee secured one
run in the fourth inning on three sin
giles, and two more in the seventh or
three singles and a sacrifice fly.
Manager Newgard this noon left fol

the farmers who have forced the prices
up. Unreasonably high prices OF
wheat at this time of year may even
prove disastrous to the growers, be-
cause 1t may drive foreign buyers
away from our markets and cause them
to open trade relations with other
countries, with whom their dealings
may continue in future years. II these
high prices had occurred while the
farmers still held their wheat they
might have gotten some benefit from
