play. had blocked Uher. Their
pitcher was just OF the point OF
making mince meat out of c. S.
| Marsh, the umpire, when Marsh ad-
vised him to change his mind, and
he did. Calmar kept up the bluff
for a while and refused to play,
when the umpire called the game,
| giving it to DEBORAH to 0. 1t was
too bad that crowd of such spleI-
did ball players, after playing such
fine game and holding down the
score to l to l., should play the baby
act in such a manner, and quit.
And after contracting to play three
games, they refused to play on
Thursday and Friday, though they
had been widely advertised. They
were given fair and square deal
by the umpire, but even if they did
not think SO they should have stood
for it and fulfilled their contract.
They know that Marsh Is a fair UNI
pire and a good one. He gave them
much the best of it on close de-
cisions throughout the game, and
did what he thought and practically
everyone except these kickers
thought was the fair thing in this
decision.
After Calmar had thus made such
a graceful exit, it devolved upon the
management to secure another ball
team. Five of the Calmar team.
Gree. McNiel, Anderson, Scheutz
and O'Boy were prevailed upon to
stay and finish the series and for
Thursdays game w. Preus and
BUST" Guttebo of L. c., "Hi"
Green and Sanders were added.
Ringlie, Luther's speedy third base
man, was also called upon to play
short in place of p. Preus, who had
sprained his ankle in the previous
game. The "All Stars" kept De-
corah pretty busy, at that. For five
innings The score stood / to 1. In
the sixth DEBORAH added two tallies,
in the seventh one, and in the
ly made one other score. in the
ninth, when Scheutz made a home
run Mandy" Ester son of l.. c.,
for DEBORAH, and Jack Sanders. for
the All Stars, both pitched fine ball,
with Mandy" having a shade the
best of it, He allowed only five
hits and struck out 5. Sanders was
hit safely times and struck out 6.
Friday, fair goers were treated to
another twelve-inning contest. The
All Stars had been greatly strength
ened by the addition of Scoville and
Betz of Waukon as a battery, while
DEBORAH had Chick" Fraser in the
box DEBORAH in her half of the
first failed to get runner to first.
whereas the All Stars made two
runs, on Anderson's walk, Reque's
overthrow at second in fielding
Green's grounder. and Wickland's
throw past third in an attempt to
get Green. Neither team scored in
the second, but in the third DEBORAH
tied it up. Qualley was hit by a
pitched ball. Wickland was granted
a life on his grounder to Garzee.
VINO preferred to get Qualley at
second. The crack little Chicago
fielder then stole second and made
third when Betz let pitched ball
go by him. Fraser put up a foul
fly which Betz caught, and there
were two out. Rogue, however,
stepped into the breach by meeting
one of Scoville's wide curves for
clean two-bagger and Wickland
walked in Rogue scored when
Bidne reached first on Scoville's err
ror. The inning ended by Bidne be-
ing caught at third. From then on
the game resolved itself into
pitchers battle DEBORAH threaten
ed to score at several stages of the
game but sharp fielding cut off the
ho IN
inning only one hit had been made
off Fraser, and as he only allowed
one hit in that inning, the All Stars
total hits are merely two. In the
18th Scoville met his Waterloo. He
passed Hustvedt, Qualley singled,
but was nabbed at second on WICK
lands grounder. Fraser also got
base on balls, Hustvedt in the mean
time scoring on a wild pitch. Re
Que again was the man of the hour
and cleaned up with single. BID
ne. not to be outdone, also hit sa1e-
ly and scored Sig" and when New
conner placed pretty hit IN center
Bidne also scored. This made the
score read DEBORAH Z, All Stars 2,
and, of course. practically ended the
game, but the All Stars prolonged
matters by scoring one run in their
half of the twelfth. In all, ten hits
were made off Scoville. who also
struck out s men. Fraser whined
is. which is certainly pitching some
ball. On the whole, the game was
a fine exhibition, as was also Thurs
DAYS contest, and the management
have no reason to feel that our peo-
pie were disappointed In THIS
