WHICH. COUNT.

-
The Mitchell baseball team has
been having quite a seance with the
Huron since last Saturday whenEtwo
exhibition games and two league
games were played, and: Mitchell
COPIED the entire series.
The Saturday game was won ry a
score of 10 to 3, and the Sunday
game went 10 to 6 for Mitchell.
Mondays game was a close one
and went to Mitchell by a score OF 4
to 2, with Potter in the box.
The final game of the series was
played Tuesday, on the fourth, and
the boys demonstrated that they
were never beaten until the game
was over, winning at the close by
a score of 6 to 5.
Hombach started in to pitch IT,,
game, but he felt at the opening tina,
he would, be unable to go the rou'e.
on account of his shoulder, whici
was giving him some trouble, and
Danny Potter was warmed UP at the
same time In the Grst two or three
innings Huron got to Hombach for
three runs and Potter was, sent in.
Huron got two more off Potter, and
after that the little, twirler held
them safe, except i'll the ninth, inn
ing, when with two out and two on
the bases, a fast one vas sent down
to Fleury at short and he made one
of the quickest kihhd OF throws and
had the runner out for a foot.
Mitchell scored one in the early
part of the game, and at the fifth inn
ing the score was 5 to l., with Wilson
pitching shut out ball and having the
Mitchell lads swinging at the air
quite a few times. In the fifth Nit
chell got to Wilson and scored three
runs, and he was pulled when they
came to bat the next inning. Some
great smuggling took place in the
sixth. The first ball that the new
pitcher served up to Frank Means
the Indian sent out for a home run.
Lewis called him out, however, be-
cause he claimed the runner did not
touch second. 1t was a crime to rob
Means Of that home run and the
crowd voiced its disapproval of the
decision WEIGH came to bat and
sent out a three-bagger, and whE.
the inning ended two more runs
were added, which finished the run
getting on both sides.
The team played fine ball
throughout the game. with but one
error charged up to Fleury, who mis-
judged the bali on a fly. Nolt made
the sensational catch of the day,
when a long line drive came into his
field. He made a long run, and in
the last final effort as he saw the
ball was getting away from him he
made a lump and landed on the
sphere. The ball had the home run
tag on it, and it was a marvel that
he got it. The play saved the game
at that point.
Divide the Two Games.
In Mondays game Aberdeen won
from Redfield by as score of 4 TO q
five innings being played and the
game called on account of rain.
