W|LDNESS
WITH SEVEN ERRORS
TOGETHER WITH MANY HIT WAS
ENOUGH TO HAND FAULK-
TON THE GAME ON A SILL
YER PLATTER,

With the winning of two games
from Faulkton and. a third from Alb
erdeen in succession the fans had an
idea that the jinx which has been
lowering, over the local team while
on sthe home grounds has been lost,
and that the boys were on the road
to victory. The jinx got back on the
job Monday afternoon when Faulk-
ton came to the city to play off a
series of three games.
Mitchell lost to Faulkton by a
score of 10 to a. That Is enough to
tell the sad tale.
Captain WEIGH ordered Miller to
the mound and expected him to put
the kibosh OF the visitors. Instead
Of that Miller was real kind to the
Faulkton lads, in fact he was so gen.
erous that in the very first inning he
issued three passes, and made a wild
pitch with the bases full and forced
in a score, to which vas added two
more when Rusty hit safe to center
Tor two bases scoring Young and
Hupple, both of whom had received
free transportation.
With three runs safely slowed
away things did not look the best for
Mitchell, but the locals recovered the
ground in the third inning, when
sour men We're sent across the plate,
and they were the only ones who
managed to score.
Scanlon was the first man up in
he third and he went out on from
Manual to Stone. Farley drew a
pass, and WEIGH hit safe to left field.
sherer came to the plate amid great
applause, and, the slugger slammed
one out In right field, on which
Farley scored from second, putting
WEIGH on third. Nolt hit down to
bird on which WEIGH tried to score,
tut was caught at the plate on a close
lecision. Kennedy hit n out to
eft field for which Rusty made a
ong run but dropped the ball as he
.aught it at his feet. Sherer and
Nolt scored on the hit. Fitzgerald
hit safe to center and Kennedy scor-
3D. Bowers went out from Manuel
20 Stone.
When Miller showed so much wild
less the grand stand set up a howl
o put him on the bench, and when
he game started in the second DAN
ny Potter went to the mound to do
he hurting. In that inning Faux
on got quite dangerous. Lund was
.afe when Farley dropped the ball,
md Manuel received free t%ransporta-
ion to the first. Lund vas thrown
ut at second. Young hit safe to
enter, and sent Manuel over to
bird. Lynch few to Farley and
Iupple walked, filling the bases.
'pencer the heavy hitting catcher.
TODD m%enacingly at the plate. but
e only sent up a fly to Kennedy, re-
iring the side with three on bases.
fitchell was entitled to a score in
he second, as after Kennedy and
Titz had, gone out, Bowers hit safe
o left, Potter repeated the same
hing, sending Bowers over to third.
Potter took a lead off second and
a caught too far from the bag.
The pinching process started in
which Bowers tried to score, but
vent out at the plate.
Faulkton started things in the
'ourth inning. Manuel clouted the
very first ball for three bases, and
while he was standing a little way of
he bag waiting for q hit on which to
.ome home, Bowers made a beauti
tul peg down the line to WEIGH and
taught the big pitcher asleep at the
switch, much to his surprise. Young
was hit by Potter, Lynch hit safe to
eft and, Young scored from second.
Iupple went out Potter to Farley.
With two gone Potter walked Spen-
Ger and Rusty, filling the bases.
Palmer hit down to WEIGH, and the
stun seemed all on-but, hist! the
