The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1910-09-23

Those terrible Kids, bound for the
goal of the Celina-St. Marys- Wapak
series, braced themselves with another
solid support at ST. Marys last Sunday
when they slung long, sharp harpoon
into the vitals Of the SANITY City ag-
gregation, and while hitting big Jetty
| SwartZ seldom, they touched him up
just when hits were needed, profting
at the same time by the big fellows
lack of control in one instance and by
a couple of fumbles in the other. All
in all the Kids got four tails, just
three more than the st. Marys lads
could accomplish by their best efforts.
Mr.. Joseph Frederick, that invinci-
BILE young table maker, while wild at
several stages, got exceedingly strong
in the pinches and backed by superb
work of his speedy young short stop
Bethel, and his big steady third base
man, Myers, pulled out of several tight
places.
The most pleasing feature of the con-
test, so far as Celina fans were con-
cerned, was the long hit of Celina's
favorite little backstop, Kahle Me-
Comb. 1t was a perfectly clean drive
to the center field fence, and the ball
was still IN the hands of the outiielders
when the speedy little catcher crossed
the plate. 1t took all the ginger out of
the st. Marys crowd and added zest to
Celina's fast work, only three men
getting a chance at Mr.. Frederick in
the last half Of the final frame. They
went out one, two, three with only four
balls thrown.
The Kids started off by hitting Mr..
Swartz pretty regularly and while
many vicious swipes went stright into
fielders' mits, few dropped safe and
these were his undoIug. Wenning got
the first clean one in the fourth. He
stole second, but died an untimely
death, the next three men rolling out.
With two down in the sixth, Hobby
again started things and this time with
more success. Roche dropped the
third strike and the hard working first
sacker beat the throw out. He got sec
ond on a passed ball and trotted home
with the first score when G. Myers hit
safe to center. Cap followed with a
line drive to the same territory and
Myers scored, but Weber rolled out.
st. Marys alarmed at the sudden ad-
vance made by the Kids endeavored to

but they fell one short. Jorgenson hit
a hard one between second third which
Bethel, by great right hand stab,
knocked down, holding the runner to
one base. Dogget sacrificed him to
scond. Jones hit hard grounder to
third and it got away from Myers by
an ugly bound. Bethel made pretty
catch of difficult fly back of third for
the second out. G. SwarIz singled to
left, scoring Jorgenson. Jones also
attempted to score from second but G.
Myers made pretty throw home and
the little backstop put the ball onto the
nifty Columbus star as he jumped for
the plate. His nibs got huffy because
Umpire Chew called him out and made
a holler which started the crazy st.
Marys fans, who for few minutes
threatened violence to Mr.. Chew, but
left the field knashing their teeth when
his Umps threatened to forfeit the
game if the field wasn't cleared.
The Kids kept bingllng away at Mr..
Swartz's curves until the final frame,
when, with Cap on second, the little
back stop laid on one of Jetty's slow
benders for home run, the longest
hit ever made on the st. Marys dia-
mond. The score:
