hustling young manager, b. Ahrens,
the Pirates attacked two opposing
forces last Sunday and altho repulsed
By the superior ability OF tho first
|snemy, came back With . fierce VEN
gssnce and defeated the second. Tho
New Ulm Association team wen the
Arst game BY . 7-3 score and the
Pirates emerged - vicsors 10 the
second scuale With . 8 70 s count.
t The first vss . battery engagement
for Pfeiffer was the chief gunner for
the association and his shooting was
too much for the Pirates. he allowed
only 2 hits and retired Is BY the
whiting method. But the work OF
OF Grams, who did the firing for the
Pirate crew. was pretty fair, for he
held the hard-hitting Brewers to 8
safe clouts and struck out seven.
The showing made by the Pirates
should be complimented the more
because they had several young and
inexperienced recruits in place of some
of their best performers and they
used Grams in the box instead OF
Kuester, their star HEAVIER.
New Ulm made enough scores in the
first inning to win the game. Two
singles, fielder's choice and three
errors seasoned with pair OF wild
pitches allowed a runners to scamper
over the plate. The Pirates garnered
their harvest in the 4th. Scherz led
off with q hit and . few felder's 8
choices and bad error pushed 3 men
home. Wicherski scored in the 4th
on q walk, . stolen cushion and q
Wild heave by Kleinschmidt. New
Ulm scored the last two runs in the
7th on brace of singles and 9 few
misplays.
The second game was grand old
fight. Kuester was handing them
over with his accustomed effecttveness
but poor support gave Manksto the
adv antsge early In the fray. KuesteE
allowed but 3 hits and struck out II
while the Pirates amassed . total o.
70 safe swats. Manager Ahrens' stra'
tegical sktll was much In evidence II
the second campaign. With almost
uncanny discernment he detected the
weak points Of the opponents and
launched his attacks with marvellous
adroitness. Again and again hi
would raise one finger and the batter
would respond with q clean single OF
perchance, it would be two OF hi
digits exposed to view, and the bats
man would bang out double. An
the wonders of inside baseball!
But strive as they might neither
team could gain any permanent ad
vantage and with the score tied botf
armies began the last charge OF tn
battle with confidence. But Genera
Ahrens redoubled his efforts ane
hurled his painting coherts against th'
stalwart lines of the enemy with re
newed vigor in last desperate ane
furious attack. After one marty
had been carted away in the ambu
lance, Long shot q single over tn
second hassock and marched to tn
first position. Then he galloped tt
second on Berg's infield hit. Alarmed
and flustered by this sudden weaken
ing of their battery fire the enemy''
defense became spprehensive and ther
tottered. Grams, like hero OF old
took advantage Of this momentar,
wavering and wounded the secone
baseman's lily white hashslingers will
we'll directed shot and Long rammet
the armor plate with his spikes, scor
ing the winning run. And 10! Tht
hostilities ceased. while the Goddess
of victory smiled benignly upon thai
august parsonage, the manager.
