MANKATO TOOK THREE STRAIGHT
GAMES FROM THE JACKSON BOYS
From Tuesdays Daily.

Mankato easily took all three of the
games from the Jacksons of st. Paul,
the first and last by the score of 0 to
o and the Sunday game 5 to 2. The
visitors were no match at all for our
boys and couldn't even make it in
teresting. This was especially true of
their catcher, for whenever the locals
got on a base they just started a
merry 60 round with no chance of be-
ing caught. McCleary pitched elegant
ball in the first and third game and
Claude Lambs work in the second
game couldn't be beat.
The attendance was not very good
at any of the games, although the
Monday crowd would have been much
better if there had been some means
whereby the crowd could reach the
grounds, as the street cars were far
from able to carry the crowds
The first game was sewed up tight
for the locals right in the opening
round when they crossed the plate three
times on an error, three singles and
three stolen bases. After this it was
too one sidel to be interesting, as the
locals got five more runs across in the
third, the last run. coming in the
eighth inning ~.
The Sunday game was the most in
teresting of the three but at that the
locals never had to exert themselves
20 win. Mankato scored in their half
of the first. Rognas drove out two
Dagger, Newgard grounded out and
Freddy Wines drove out long hit,
scoring Rognas. Glib walked and
Wines scored on Harms error
In the second inning Kinkle secured
a life on Muller's error. Lamb singled,
Kinkle taking third. Lamb stole second
and Kennedy laid down a pretty bunt,
scoring Kinkle. Rognas fonled out and
Newgard ended the inning grounding
out to Mueller. The visitors frightened
up little until the sixth when Kinkel
started things again with a three bag
Ger to night field, scoring on Lambs
sacrifice fly. Carlisle singled to open
the eighth, stole second, but the catcher
was trying for the center field fence,
Carlisle going way around OIL the bad
throw with the last sccle for the
locals. There was no fun Cor the Wis
itors in the sc6iing line until the
eighth inning, when they succeeded in
squeezing two Runs across the joy PAN
Karner beat out an infeld hit, went to
second on a wild pitch, taking third
on Kinkels bad throw to, catch'hihi at
second from where he scored on Ton-
taine,s single. Novak then drove one
on the nose for three sacks, scoring
'Fontaine. Larson ended the inning,
grounding out to Lamb.
The Monday game was just a repe-
tition of the Saturday matinee. The
visitors Gid play good ball for two
innings, but then the pitcher blew up
and the game was a farce. the locals
running away from their opponents.
scoring one run in the third on an
error, u passed bah and two Dagger,
four in the fourth on three singles, an
error, dead ball and a stolen base,
two in the seventh on two singles, a
two Dagger and four stolen bases and
two iE tie eighth on two two sackers

The locals played good ball through
out the three games and if the oppo-
nents had been better team, there
would have been some sport.
