The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1910-04-15

short, he was almost Immediately
caught trying to steal second. In this
inning, though aided by single by
B. Smith and a pass issued to DAILY,
there was nothing doing. Moore out
on grounder to first, Smith went peace
fully to sleep at first and was neatly
stabbed when he wasn't looking, and
Tholin flew gracefully out to left.
The fifth inning netted nothing to
the visitors except the last Of the only
two hits made off DAILY. Bert, after
two men were down, knocked a safe
| fly to center, but was caught trying to
reach second on Dooley's grounder.
In this inning Leavenworth coualled
two more runs. They were nothing to
brag Of, though, being principally aided
by bunch Of errors and pass. A
sacrifice by Souder, however, helped a
little, and R. Smiths single finished
what the errors had overlooked.
At this point in the game the visi-
tors made several changes in their po-
sition in an effort to overcome the
hoodoo. Farmer, who was behind the
bat, was sent to short and afterward put
into the box, where the locals clouted
him all over the lot and annexed eight
runs before the agony was over. Leav-
enworth made some changes, too, for
practice purposes. Lee relieved DAILY,
and up to the ninth inning famed the
visitors so rapidly that it made their
collective head ache. But one visitor
reached first in the sixth, seventh or
eighth, and he was sort Of encouraged
along by a pass to first so he could get
caught stealing third. In the ninth,
however, the visitors had got some fire.
works half dried out, and when Mr..
Lee wasn't looking they placed 'em
under him and touched 'em off. There
was heap of fzzy smoke and lot Of
little pinwheels. The explosion wasn't
as bad as it looked and Lee only went
I'D in the air for a second minute, but
when the smoke had settled it was
found the visitors had smashed the
whitewash brush into bits, had sadly
surprised Mr.. Lee by touching his
choicest offerings for two two-baggers
and single and had escorted two runs
safely across the home plate. Loomis,
first man up for the visitors, was out at
first on a grounder to second. Then
Dean, much to his surprise, caught a
twister on the end OF his bat and sent
sizzling toward center field fence. It
looked as if it might be captured, but
the fielders misjudged and ran around
in frantic circles while the ball dropped
out of their reach and bounded inso-
lently away. This wonderful play over
came Mr. Lee, and before he could
master his grief and steady his nerves,
Whitfield lammed out another fly to
center, good for two bags, scoring
Dean. Then Farmer spit on his hands,
picked out his favorite war club, and
lifted a nice little fly to left, getting to
first base and scoring Whitfield. Mr..
Lee was real mad by that time, and all
the next man could do was to knock a
little grounder to short and get field
ed out at first. The next man up
punched three aimless holes in the
springtime atmosphere and the game
was over.
AS to the individual doings OF the
Leavenworth bunch from the sixth inn
ing on The Echo's scorer frankly con-
fesses his mind is hazy and uncertain.
His totals and summaries are correct,
but if some of the individual markings
are minus or plus that will have to be
figured out by someone more capable
of the task.
AS stated before, changes were made
in the personnel OF the team. Lee
was put into pitch. and two other
changes made. We knew when Mr..
Lee went in. He is easy TO see and
hard to lose sight of, and he doesn't
run SO fast but that the eye can follow
him without fatigue. But the other
changes are the cause Of our daze.
With two Smiths already playing
another was sent in to relieve someone,
and young man by the name Of Brown
