NEW ULM WINS OUT AT FINISH.
Wicherski's Hitting and AII.Around
Playing Brings Victory To
Take Local Team.

ming from the Mankato last Sunday
at the Fairgrounds by score of IL to
9. With a to lead at the end of the
9th inning the Mankato boys thought
they had the game packed away in
their strong box already. But to and
behold! It was not to be! The Ger
mans whanged away at Knoff until he
retired in the 7th, securing runs and
altho Mankato made 2 more in the
8th, New Ulm registered 3 in their
half. Until that 9th inning the Man
kato team was working like we'll
fabricated machine. They had every
thing their own way; they were field
ing perfectly, hitting we'll and Knof
only allowed one hit in that time.
On the other hand; the New Ulm
boys were bungling easy chances,
batting poorly and they found out it
advisable to take Schneider off the
rubber because of his wilderness at
the end of the 4th. In fact, they had
the game given away but they repented
later and took it back.
Mankato scored two in the second
on errors by Klossner and Sorlein, a
Wild pitch and walk. Then in the
3rd two more were added on single
by Swensk, a sacrifice anu brace of
hits by the Mlchelsons. In the 4th
another pair scored on Sorlein's
error, a hit by Knoff, a stolen base
and a wild pitch. Not a New Ulm
runner reached first until the 4th when
Wicherski led off with clean bingle
to center. Right here is where George
started playing the game in a sensa.
tional manner. His record for the
afternoons entertainment is an en-
viable one,-four hits, four stolen
bases, four scores and three pretty
catches. After stealing second he
scored on Gibbons error.
In the 5th Pfeiffer was sent in to
pitch and several changes were made
in the positions of the players.
Pfeiffer passed J. Nicholson who stole
and scored on a single by Swigerd.
New Ulm had two on the bases in the
9TH on an error and walk but could
Mt score.
And then came the awakening.
George began the good work in the
9th by singing passed third and steal
ing second and third. Lindeman
walked and took second. Wicherski
scored on felder's choice. Klossner
was hit and Fohl scored both him and
Lindeman with a pretty hit thru in
field. He was caught in an attempted
steal.
Having had taste of it, they came
back for more in the 7th, and they got
it. Sorlein led off with single and
the bags we're filed when Farrell and
Mayer beat out bunts. Wicherski
scored two on his third hit. By this
time Knoff was flying way up in the
aerial regions. In fact, the propeller
of his aeroplane was churning butter
with the Milky Way. In an attempt
to work the squeeze play, Lindeman
popped out but Mayor regained third
in safety. Bingo dumped the pill in
front of the plate but Bartos lost his
head and threw to third, Mayor scor.

Mankato management used the derrick
with Knoff and Giblin essayed to
twirl. Pfeiffer hit sharply to third,
who erred. Klossner scored Wichers-
XII with a sacrifice fly to center and
the score was 8 to- in New Ulm's
favor. Foil grounded out.
It seemed as if New Ulm was still
bound to throw away the game for

reached first on Klossner's error
error put another one on the
bags. Pfeiffer added his share by
hitting Knoff. Swensk hit to Sorlein
who fumbled, allowing Hiddle to
count, but he recovered the ball in
time to catch Swensk at first, thus
saving himself from an error. Giblin
hit to Sorlein who threw home, catch
ing Bartos at the plate. G. Michel
sons hit scored Knof but Giblin was
caught stealing third.
However, the local tossers didn't
give up. Sorlein reached second on
an error and stolen base. Farrell.

George sent Mayor to third on sim

Lindeman famed. Then Bingo lived
up TO his name by binging a pretty
bingle down the third base line, scor-
ing two runs and winning the game
