bURNhAM'S COLTS GET
OUR GOAT AGAIN
Win An Eleven Inning Pitchers Battle on
Saturday BY Score Of 3 to |.


In an exhibition which was pri-
marily pitchers battle with little
or no advantage on either side, the
fast Hibbing team on Saturday won
the fourth successive game of the
season from Virginia~in an eleven
inning contest by score of 3 to l.
Megan, new phenom from Ocon-
to, was on the mound for Virginia
and had the visitors going for the
first several innings, striking out
one after another and throughout
the game permitting but one man
to walk.
Grady was in the box for Hibbing
and his work, while not new to Vir-
ginians, seemed to get the batsmen,
with the result that up to the end
of the eighth Virginia was ascred-
tied with but three and Hibbing
with but two safe hits.
1t was not until the fateful sew
enth that either side scored, V1r-
ginia making a score on a bungle
! by Brookins, the crack third base
man of the visiting team, whose
work for the day was 80 rotten that
sewer outlet would smell like a
bunch of carnations in comparison.
In this inning he dropped an easy
one which should have been dou-
bic play and in cool-headed man
ner threw the ball away, sending it
full ten feet above the head of long
Hoffman on first, and permitting
Virginia's score.
In the eighth Hibbing tied the
score through home run by Ora
dy, who swatted the pill with his
big one and drove it into space be-
yond the fence. The ninth and
tenth continued the tie, but in the
eleventh third baseman Boyle
failed to hear the alarm clock in
time to stop one which was travel
ing his way and started something
which placed two to the credit of
the visitors, giving them a cinch
lead which Virginia failed to over
take
The game should have been l to 0
in favor of the visitors, the only
earned run being Grady's fluke
homer-the first time he has hit the
sphere in four years, tits said. But
from the standpoint of sport the
game was live one, played on
lines which will keep the fans COM

showing $651.0O. And while this
