FINE GAME AWAY EsSSA
THE JIM RIvER TOWN.

THE JIM RIVER TOWN.
The Aisehen team came home
! Monday afternoon from its first trip
away. playing a series at Watertown
and breaking even with that team,
one game being postponed on ac-
count Of rain. The boys had a hard
trip in getting home and were in
no condition to enter the game in
the afternoon and having to play
such a close game, but they played
with a great deal of spirit, notwith-
standing they had but a few hours
sleep Sunday might and had to make
the last 50 miles of their journey
from Salem in automobiles, going
into the game forty-hve minutes af-
ter getting home.
There was a fine crowd out to
greet the boys and to cheer them on
to victory. Fully 500 people were
on the ground in the grand stand,
in autos and carriages. The crowd
was enthusiastic, and the cheering
was not all confined to the Mitchell
! players. Applause was extended to
Huron on several occasions when
they pulled off some good plays.
That is a spirit of fairness which the
visiting team is bound to appreciate
and shows that the Mitchell fans
will give the visitors a fair show.
/, Hombach went to the mound for
Mitchell and Grey took his place be-
hind the bat when Umpire Laughton
called the game at 3:45 O'Clock.
Brierre was the first man up for HUI
ron, and he started in to hitting
right away, landing at first on a
clean drive. Ellanholz went out on
"a drive to- third which Sherer shot
over to Farley for the out. Schou-
bert was presented with his base
and Roy was safe on first by the err
ror route. Before Roy got to first
Schoubert attempted to steal second
with Bierre on third, who started
home. Reed handled the throw of
Gray's but in making the quick re-
turn he threw a little wide and
Brierre was safe at the plate and
scored.
Mitchell could not score in her
half, and went out in one, two, three
order. Huron was held at bay for
the next two innings, and when Nit
chell entered on the third the scores
commenced to count. Hombach
dropped the ball safely over second
base, and Reed was nicked by Will
,son, putting two on bases. Nolt came
up and received a pass to first, fill
ing the bases. Otto hit to the in
field and on making the throw to the
plate Cook dropped the ball and
Hcmbach scored, Reed going to
third, when he reached home later
on a throw in. Two runs counted.
In the fourth inning for Huron
+, Scissor hit safely to center for one
base, but he never got away from
the sack, for Roy flew to Wilson and
McShane and. Pfremer sem up flies
to the infeld, both of which were
taken in handily by Reed. Mitchell
did little better. Shere went out on
"a foul to first, Grey walked, but
Reed famed and Hombach fouled
out to Cook. In Hnron's fifth Cook
was out on a blocked ball, Wilson
flew out and Brierre fe won't on a
long hit to Lewis. Mitchell went
out in the same quick order, Nolt
going out to Roy, Otto went out on
a fly and Wilson was out on an in
field hit.
In the sixth Huron showed some
danger of scoring. Ellanholz hit
over to Sherer, who promptly threw
him out to Farley and Schoubert
lifted a long n to Lewis and re-
tired. Scissor made a connection
and drove a pretty one to center for
two bags. Roy tried to do the same
act and bring in his brother In
dian, but he drove one down to Far
ley who reached the bag ahead of
the fleet little INNER In Mitchelps
sixth the indications pointed to a
score but Huron stopped the lads
from making the circuit Farley
came up and got a life at first on
an error of Roy. Lewis came up
and was nicked by Wilson and walk
ed to first, putting Farley on sec
ond. Things looked fine for a score
and perhaps two. Sherer hit to the
infield and forced Farley at third,
and a moment later the stuff was off
when Grey drove a hit to the infeld
and Sherer and GREY were doubled.
