MITCHELL SHOWED Up GOOD
STRENGTH.
Just to show that they can deliv-
er the goods Mitchell went into the
game "wednesday afternoon to re-
trieve the game that was pulled out
Of the fire by Aberdeen OF the day
before, and a clean shut out was
handed to the north state team. Alb
erdeen was dangerous but once. and
that was in the second inning, when
Port was safe on Otto's error. He
got around to third, and when he at
tempted to get to that home plate
the ball beat him to 1t and Gray plac-
ed the sphere on him for the out.
Aside from that Aberdeen vas kept
a long way from the coveted plate.
The crowd of Wednesday after
noon was as large as on the opening
day. 1t was Ladies day and the fair
sex displayed their interest in the
game and in the fine team Mitchell
has to come out in large numbers,
fully 500 being in the grand stand
and in vehicles. 1t is literally esti-
mated that owe a thousand people
were on the grounds to witness Aber-
deems undoing in such a thorough
manner.
Potter, who had not as yet appear
ed on the diamond, except for a few
moments last week, was on the card
to heave them over, while Gray, a
new recruit, was at the receiving
end, and they worried to a nicely.
Gray has a fine whip to second base
and the differing of that bag was
given up as a dangerous proposition
after the first man tried and was
nailed. Potter worked out in fine
shape and the fans expressed them
serves as being we'll pleased with the
way in which he pitched and covered
his position. The fans feel that with
Hombach, Means, Potter and Manag-
err Fault on the pitching staff the
team ought to be secure from many
defeats.
Mitchell commenced scoring in the
third inning, and three crossed the
rubber. Reed singled, and was adj
vanced to second on a safe bunt by
Potter. Nolt played the bunt sue
cessfully, and the bases were filled.
Ottos chance came to cut things
loose and with none out the appear
ances were good for scoring. The
second baseman found one to his lik-
ing after trying out several and
when the ball dropped 1t was good for
two bases, scoring Reed and Potter.
Nolt, however, was caught at third.
Wilson reached first, and Farley adj
vanced them both on a bunt, on
which he was retired. "Doc'' Lewis
tried the waiting game and won,
which put three on bases. Sherer i'm
proved the opportunity to add to the
sum total of scores and sent out a
pretty hit, on which Otto scored, and
Wilson made the same try, but was
put out, retiring the side.
Mitchell went at the scoring in
dustry in the fourth and annexed
three more runs, and that, too, after
two men were out. Gray was retired
quickly by Port at first, and Graves
threw out Reed to Dretchko, who
played first yesterday. Potter came
up and waited and was rewared, with
a free ticket to first. Nolt hit out
to left field and was safe on the
dropped fly to Doyle, Potter going to
third. AT the first opportunity Nolt
stole second and was safe, while Pot
ter improved the chance to go home
on the throw down, and was safe.
Otto came to bat and repeated on
his two-bagger, scoring Nolt, Otto
reaching second and a moment later
he scored on Wilson's single. Farley
got in with a single, but Lewis went
out Hurska to Dretchko.
One more was chalked up in
the fifth. Sherer flew out, Gray
walked, Reed hunted and went out at
first with Grey reaching third. He
scored when Bowers had a passed
ball. Nolt flew out to center.
1t was Aberdeen's misfortune to
go out in one, two, three order most
of the time, but it was varied in the
seventh and last inning. Port walk
ed, and Bowers tried to sacrifice him
down to second, but it resulted in a
double play. Reed catching Port at
second and Otto shot the ball to ball
in time to catch Bowers. Hurs-
ka lined out two Dagger, but Graves
famed, and the game ended with
seven innings in order to allow both
teams to catch a train.
