X. F. 1o-FOLEY BROS. & KELLY ,
OF all the lucky seventies" the
locals half of that inning in their
game here Sunday against the Foley
Bros. & Kelly team of St. Paul
splintered all the records. The
visitors were handed three TALES in
the opening round and from then
until the sixth there was no more
scoring on either side. Borrowman
started the last half of the sixth
with double and scored on Quin-
OTIS single, and the pitcher Tailed
on safe bingleS by Deneen and
Symes. The score was three to two
with the locals taking the dust when
it came their turn in that fatal sew
enth. Then it was "Oh, you Mac
Donough," for Mac sure did get his.
Stewart, the first man up, opened
the Swatfest with a double; Ander-
son followed with another; Linehan
scorched safe one over first base;
Perry dropped nice one over third;
Borrowman doubled to center field
and Elertson placed a hot one be-
tween third and short. Poor Mickey
then decided that he never was any
pitcher anyhow, and retired in favor
of smiling "Rootie" Smith, who, in
PALMER days, was a star in the
Austin Western lineup. Quinot
took kindly to the change of admin
istration however, and married the
beauty of "Rootie's" smile some
what by rapping out the first one
over for two sacks. His smile re-
turned for an instant, though, when
Deneen'S bounder was lelded and
converted into the first put-out.
Symes wanted to see how far the
ball would roll and showed up poor
"Rootie" by polling the sphere into
the tall grass for two sacks. Stew
art was more lenient the second
time up and contented himself with
a tall one to short, which was field
ed. Anderson decided TO take an
other while they were being passed
around and lined out his second hit
of the inning. The day was hot
and sultry and jumps" Rosenberg,
deciding that there should be
limit to all we'll regulated farces,
called Anderson out for stealing
second and thus ended the agony
for that inning. The net proceeds
of that half-round amounted to
eight runs for the locals. In the
first of the eighth Quinot played the
part of the "meanest man" and in
spite of the lead of seven runs he
retired the visitors in one, two,
three order. The locals half of
this inning started out like another
wholesale slaughter. Linehan,
Perry, Elertson, Quinot and Symes
getting safe bingles, and the first
three scoring, but it was decided
that enough was plenty and let it go
at that, For the sake of little ex-
citement the visitors were allowed
to fill the bases after there was one
out in the ninth but Quinot tighten
ed up then and brought the game to
a sudden close by striking out Bar
low and Shelly. Up to the seventh
inning it was a drst-class game,
marked with many spectacular
plays. Anderson, at second, picked
out couple of scorching assists
and Stewart made grand spear OF
Smiths line drive in the fourth.
Ouinot was pitching in great form
and after the second inning held the
visitors with out a hit. They got
two safe swats in the first and
one in the second. Borrowman
played his usual heady game be-
hind the bat.
