ing two fies. The visitors stole two
bases on our own Foss much to the
Of the crowd wit hwhom
the sturdy receiver has been hot
favorite. The Sherburn boys made
their lone score in the 9th inning by
a batter being hit, a single and
sacrifice. With runner on Sd in
that inning and but one down.
Brown struck out the next man and
forced the last victim to dump one
down to his station which he relayed
to first and thus saved any further
disaster. In the Sd inning the Sher-
burns had a man on third base but
he was trapped by foxy work,
Kramer pretending to loose the ball
on a single and was caught at the
plate. Outside these two innings
they were not dangerous and usu-
ally went out one, two. three.
Nolte pitched a good game, fan
ming five and allowing but 4 hits and
one of these was fluky, being made
by Kramer when little head work
would have prevented it. He made
a couple Of wild throws and gave 3
bases on balls. The Lands made l
in the first on a base on balls to
Deitz, a stolen base, a sacrifice by
Kramer which advanced him to Sd
from where he came in on a bad
muff of a fly ball by Hughes of Sher-
burn. In the Sd inning Mckay
made a clean single, took second on
a wild pitch, and came home on
double by Deitz. Foss sent the lat
ter to third by sacrificing, short to
first, and on little infeld dump he
slid home, while Kramer rushed to
LIST, his grounder going between 1st
and I'd and was picked up by Deitz,
1st base for Sherburn. who hesitated
a moment when, seeing Deitz was
safely home started to beat it back
to 1st but was second too late to
catch Kramer. Had either I'd or
pitcher covered LIST Kramer would
have been an easy out. 1t was the
poorest play Of the game.
The next two men were easy outs
so no real damage was done. While
after that the Lands got a man to
second couple of times they were
never near a score until the 9Th
when they counted again on an
amusing play. Kramer struck out
and Hughes, with two strikes on
him, found one to his liking and
sent cannon ball past the pitcher
and into the anatomy of Umpire
Jones and trotted to first while the
latter hoped around to ascertain
how many bones were broken. The
runner stole a base and came in
while the next man was being put
out and on some rather wild throws
to catch him.
The crowd was a very small one
considering the work the team has
been doing and the fact that this
will be the last real base ball Of the
year.
The same teams clashed again on
Thursday, Peterson pitching for the
Sherburns and Kramer for the To-
cal team, the game ending in 5 to
4 score for the visitors. Both teams
played loosely and most of the runs
were made on errors. Both pitchers
did good work, Peterson having
somewhat the better of the argu-
ment. This is likely to be the last
game on the local grounds this year
unless some local combination is or
ganized. Manager Peavey has had
lots of fun and his vacation has been
no more expensive than many take
in other forms but as a financial
venture he is out of pocket. 1t is
the more to be regretted as the
Lands are the fastest team Redwood
ever had. The support has been
very poor and will not encourage
anyone to try the experiment Of
building up a fast organization to
play here. Base ball is dead in Red
wood Falls. The town. after the
good article OF this summer. would
not care for poor team and a good
one will not pay.
About a hundred enthusiasts trav-
elled to Morgan to see the game
between the Lands and the Asso-
citation team of Sleepy Eye. The
score was 5 to 4 in favor of Sleepy
Eye. The rooters came back a little
sore at some things that occurred at
Morgan and felt that the local team
hardly got an equal show. Oekers
