The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1910-09-16

Before the largest crowd of the sea-
son, Celina secured second place in the
trolley league series last Sunday, when
they defeated ST. Marys at Mercelina
Park 4 to /. The game was fast and
exciting and full of sensational field
ing and base running by the local
team.
Both pitchers had perfect control and
not a man was given free transporta-
ton to first by either. Fredericks was
hit harder than the st. Marys man, but
the young table maker, with one eX-
ception, kept the bingles well scatter
ed, and steady support by his team
mates and heady work by himself
pulled him out of this bad hole.
st. Marys started the run-getting,
and for a short time il looked as though
they would be winners of the contest,
but after McComb caught the mighty
Jones mapping off first and the table
maker showed the visitors he couldn't
be ratified by few successive bingles,
they lost heart. The Kids took advan-
tage of their down-in- the mouth spirit,
and before they were able to realize
what had happened the game had been
pocketed by the Celina lads.
The visitors scored the first run of
the game in the fourth inning. Jones
singled, but was caught mapping off
first by pretty throw of McCOmb.
Joyce followed with another single TO
right, slapping one of the table makers
slow ones on the trade mark. He
went to second on a passed ball. Pack
ard famed, but Weiser hit safely to
left. The ball bounded past Myers,
and although he made a quick recov-
cry and relay home the throw was low
and it hit Joyce just as McComb reach
ed for it. J. Swartz famed.
Again in their half Of the fifth it
looked as though they were due for
several more. w. Swartz, first man
up, singled. Tobin bunted down the
third base line and was safe. Jorgen-
son played the same trick and filled
the bases. With nobody out and the
sacks full it looked good for the visit
ors to pile up enough tallies to win the
game, but Fredericks got down no
business and there was nothing doing.
For the third time he famed DOgget.
Jones tried for another sacrifice, but
the young table maker was on the job
and picked the ball off the third base
line, touching JOrgenson as he was go
ing for the plate, making the second
out. Then he capped the climax and
won the fans by striking out Joyce.
Then Celina Got Busy
And won the game. WennIng hit a
slow one to Tobin and Jones fumbled
the throw. Bethel attempted to sacri-
fee, but forced Wenning at second.
Bethel made pretty steal of second,
and came home with the tieing run
when Frederick singled cleanly to cen
ter. Frederick stole second and scored
on q. Myers single in the same field.
Big George pilfered second, making
one of the longest slides ever witness
ed on the local diamond, and after
Kistler had famed he put another over
Joyce by stealing third. 1t was then
up to brotherly love for another run
and Charley Myers played the broth !
erly act by clean single to center.
Charley stole second, but Betz couldn't
help him along.
The fast left fielder started matters |
again in the eighth, making the fourth |
run. After missing two of Joyce's |
slants he put one up against the audi |
torium in right for two bases. While |
Joyce and Packard were trying to fix
up a way to keep Cap from hitting the
ball Charley stole third. Cap took |
three strikes, but Packard missed the
third one, and when he threw to first
to catch Betz, Myers came home.
