Crown Downs Isanti


Last Sunday the reorganized base
ball team of Crown journeyed over to
Isanti and proceeded to trim the fast
team of that place to the tune of 10 to
Is. From spectators standp point it
was a game that could be enjoyed.
No foul tactics we're resorted to and

twirler, officiated as umpire in man.
ner that would make Two-Bits Bier
halter look like two-bits half spent.
Mckinney and j. Angstman we're at
the points for Crown until the seventh
inning, when Mckinney was injured
in running bases and Groth of Cam
bridge mounted the mound for Crown.
Mckinney, with errorless support,
held the Isanti team to 2 runs in 6
innings and one run was scored on
Groth.
Shrofer, an amateur twirler from
Minneapolis, was on the mound for
Isanti with Johnson at the receiving
end. Shrofer proved easy pickings
for the Grown boys and gladly retired
in favor of Baker in the eighth in
ming. The feature of the game was
catch by Forrest Angstman in center
field. With two men on bases Ander-
son, Isanti's heavy slugger, con-
nected with one of Groth's benders
and for several seconds it looked like
a homer for him. Up and on the
horsehide sailed with Angstman fairly
flying in the same direction. AS the
rooters we're cheering the batter the
little fielder made flying leap and
landed the ball in his gloms, retiring
the side. Grown will play Cambridge
next Sunday at Cambridge. A return
game with Long Siding would like to
be arranged. Crowns lineup is as
follows: J. Angstman, c.; Mckinney
and Beck, p; W. Hass, h.: B. Hass,

and at no time during the game was
Long Siding in real danger-taking
the lead at the start they held it to
the end. Leander was on the firing
line for the winners and he was very
effective during the entire game.
Kennedy, for the losers, also pitched
good ball.
Foreston started batting rally in
the ninth inning which Melted them
two runs. Lockwood, with one man
on second, leaned on one of Leander's
fast ones for a home run. The next
man up, however, whitfield the atmo-
sphere three times and the game was
over.
During the game several errors
we're made by both teams, but these
we're Offset by some sens ational field

times. Long Siding, however, had it
on their opponents in both fielding
