Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1911-05-31

The special holiday game between
the Bismarck White Sox and the Man.
dan Grays which was played on Tues
day afternoon at League Park, re-
suited in another victory for the local
aggregation the second triumph over
Mandan in three days. The final score
was five to one. Had there been an
errorless game played the score under
the same conditions would have been
two to nothing in favor of the White
Sox. Three of Bismarck's runs and
Mandan's lone score were directly at
tributable to misplays. The game
was a good one to watch. from the
spectators standpoint, and went on
like clockwork. only one hour and
ten minutes being required to COM
Dlete the contest.
Stratton Pitched Good Game.
Stratton of Hazleton pitched for the
White Sox. He came up to Bismarck
by auto and reached the grounds only
/ a few moments before the game was
called. One double and one single
were all that the opposing batsmen
netted from him during the entire
nine innings. In the first four inn
ings no more than three Mandan bats
men faced him during each inning.
Only six Mandan players managed to
reach first base throughout the entire
game. three of these getting around
as far as second. two of whom reached
third, and one of the latter scoring.
Stratton Received Fine Support.
In spite of the threee errors, two
lof which occurred in the fifth inning.
Stratton was accorded excellent sup
port. as the total of IS assists show.
The White Sox were in the game from
the start and were on their mettle
every minute. The infield was kept
particularly busy. Morgan getting two
put-outs and five assists: Orr getting
two put-outs and five assists. and Ed
wards thirteen put-outs. The fielders
didn't have much work. as Palmer
got only one put-out and Kaiser one.
and no errors or assists were recorded
for the fielders. Reitter played his
usual heady game behind the bat. He
got four difficult assists, two of which
he whipped over to Edwards in splen-
did style. His throw to second to
catch Bull in the ninth when the lat
ter tried to steal a base. was abso-
lutely perfect.
Babcock Wild at First.
Babcock, of Turtle Lake. who Off
ficiated on the mound for the visitors,
did not strike his gait until after the
first inning. The balloon went up right
at the start. and he was hit for three
consecutive doubles in the initial inn
ing. After that he steadied down and
though he allowed five more hits they
were kept scattered. Blewett of
jamestown played a good game at
short for the Grays. getting three as
sists and one put-out. He was weak
with the willow. however, tanning out
three consecutive times. Williams
was off color at second, getting two
errors and only one assist. Dorfler
also made an error which netted
run, but got one putOut and two as.
|sists in addition. Dorfler was unable
to connect with STATIONS curves al
though he found Tower on Sunday
for two doubles. The Mandan field
ers were kept on the jump; there be-
ing ten chances for them. OF these
Bull got three put-outs and one assist
and one error Westerman made one
error and got one putout. and Stein
brueck got two putouts and one as
sist. Fuller played good game be-
hind the bat although he allowed one
passed ball. Sullivan played a steady
game at first.
Something Doing Next Sunday.
Next Sunday afternoon will witness
the regular scheduled league contest
at Bismarck between the White Sox
and the Grays and there promises to
be some fur flying. Mandan can
hardly afford to allow Bismarck to
make 1t three straight. and will fight
to redeem her lost prestige. The
White Sox are equally determined that
no such thing will happen. 1t will
who umpired Tuesday, gave general
satisfaction. He seemed to make
some mistakes on balls and strikes
but he was eminently fair and If mis-
takes were made they were errors of
judgment and not Intentional, and
were evenly distributed between the
two teams.
