diamond contests for the rest of the

Game called at 2:3O.
Members of the Ceina base ball club
are requested to meet at Chas. Nc

tant business.
The inability of the Kids to hit safely
last Sunday, although they pounded
Joyce, the big st. Marys right handler,
all over the lot at the SANITY City
grounds, coupled with the fact that they
we're beat out of chances to work into
the lead by the rotten umpiring of one
Swartz-not the one that played first
base; not the one that played center
field-but another who knew so little
of ball game that he couldn't get in
the contest with his brothers without
being given a chance 10 play his jumps.
And he done an exasperating poor job
of that.
Despite the rottenness of the umpir-
ing and the fact that this Swartz-better
spell it by dropping the first and last
letters-was making il almost impos-
sible for the Young table maker to
throw anything that wasn't a ball,
while on the other hand Mr.. Joyce was
given all the latitude around the rubber
he wanted, the boys put up a great
game of ball and were keeping the st.
Marys men always far enough from the
home plate that nothing was doing,
until that fitful, frightful fzzle of our
Mr.. Burris on the home stretch in the
ninth, with two hands down.
1t was one Of those spasmodic, sight
less wabbles of the overworked brain
and untutored right arm, and it simply
vaporiZed the big chances of the contest
going extra rounds, and lost Young
Fredericks and his steady supporters
heart-rending contest.
Celina's lone tally was made by Big
George Myers In the first inning. He
started off with hot liner to second
and Jorgenson fumbled. He stole
second and forged to third when Dogget
muffed throw in an attempt to catch
him of second. Fredericks attempt at
sacrifice was little pop up fly that
went to Joyce. Then Grandpa Weber,
Of the old school artists, given a glad
hand by the hundred and half enthus-
iastic Celina fans as he stepped to the
plate, putin his usual timely single and
Myers scored. Betz retired the side,
and Mr.. Swartz, the fellow playing be-
hind the pitcher, saw that marry anoth-
er Kid got within earshot of the coveted
goal.
St. Marys tied it up in the second by
two punk hits and a stolen base, Toben
scoring after two men were down on
short fly to right.
The contest then went even until
that awful happening in the ninth.
With two men down Wieser again |
struck slow at one ofFrederick IS speady |
)nes and it fell safe in right. Conley |
nit one in the same channel. Burris |
the hit, but in an attempt to |
make a fast throw to Wenning in the |
hopes of cutting off the man he threw |
wild into the crowd-the ball game was
over. Score:
