From here he scored on single BY

the visitors were fighting back all the
time and We're dangerous in several
innings, especially in the sixth when
they got men ON second and third. with

He struck out eleven batters and al

that has been betting that the big

year, just step up and settle.
The second game couldn't really be
called ball game. The Mankato team
must have thought that il was ping
pong or bottle pool, for they surely
couldn't have thought that they were
in il ball game. The fielding errors
could be excused but there is no eX-
cuse whatever for the base running
that was done yesterday. Time and
again either the signals would get
crossed, someone wouldn't see them or
forget what they meant. The Man
kato team played like lot of kids
and didn't deserve to get as close to
winning as they did. The only two
that could he left out of the bone
head class yesterday were Frank Wines
and ROgnas. Rognas played a great
game at first and secured five hits out
of five times at hat. and strange to
say, he didn't get caught on the bases.
What the locals need is just one little
bit of head work which seemed to be
sadly lacking in Yesterdays game.
Mankato scored in the opening round
of the second game on single and two
errors. The visitors didn't get started
until the third but in that round they
secured five runs on three passes, a
dead bail. two errors and a double.
They got two more in the fourth after
three men should have been out on
ball game, dropped the third strike
and then forgot to throw the runner

man up and he singled. scoring the
two runs Dehmer struck out. this
making the fourth one in one inning.
The visitors got two more in the sixth
and two in the seventh. MankatO got
one run i'm the sixth on three singles
and double and could have had three
inst as well as two but for bone head
base running. I'm the seventh they
got three more on four singles and n
double but there was "A little more

would have been more runs. The locals
made hard fight in the eighth inning
but the best they could do was four
runs. In the ninth the locals went

over.
