icnll OF Umpire Lewis ana they were
given a glad Hand from all parts
of the grounds. The men wore a
uniform of gray with blue stripe,
with trimmings of blue, and they
lcertainly put up a fine stunt In app
pearance. and late delivered the
goods.
Mayor Hitchcock walked out into
the diamond with stately tread, took
the horsehide in his hand, located
the vicinity of the plate through his
glasses, and then let drive at 1t, ex-
pecting the umpire to call it a
strike. The mayor was in bad form
for the occasion and retired from the
pitchers box to a comfortable seat
while Hombach, the southpaw. went
on the mound for the initial appear
ance and Freed went to the back
stop.
Up to A%berdeen's half of the fifth
inning the game was going fine, and
it looked like it was going to be ex-
ceedingly close. In Mitchell's last
half of the fatal fifth the boys had
the game tucked away safely. Dutch
ko had been going we'll, an! was
showing some class in his work,
when the clouds commenced to gath
re around the upstate pitcher and
there was such a rattle of basehits
that one involuntarily looked up the
sky thinking the thunder was get
ting in its workout it was only
the lads clouting the leather to all
.p..rts of the field, and the Aberdeen
pitcher holding up his hands in holy
horros as he saw tie ball chasing all
over the field, with singles, two bag
gers and three baggers landing safe
ly. When the inning was finished
Dutchko threw his cap in the air and
called for ice water. Ten S ores had
crossed the plate and the game was
irretrievably lost.
Fishback was the first man up to
the plate and he proved a good wait
err, and he walked. Osgood famed,
Doyle walked, and Port popped up a
fly to Farley-two gone, with Fish
back on third. Bowers sent a little
popup to Hombach, who muffed the
easy one and Fishback crossed
the plate with the first score.
Mitchell did little in the first inning,
Nolt flying to center, Otto hit safely
to right, and went to second on a
passed ball, while Wilson famed and
Farley flew to right field. In the sec
ond Aberdeen went out in one. two
three order, Fishback tanning at the
last. In Mitchell's second, the lads
started things and pulled two runs
across the plate on clean hits that
that made their two scores earned.
Lewis hit a stinger to center, while
iSherer dropped a Texas Lacquer in
left field. Freed flew out to Port
at second and Reed was sent to first
on balls, filling the bases. Pitcher
Hombach had the opportunity to win
his game right there and he landed
a pretty hit to right. Lewis and
Sherer were right on their toes wait
ing for the hit and they both scored.
Nolt went out at first and Otto few
out to Fishback in center. In the
fifth inning Aberdeen got dangerous,
with Dutchko getting to first on OF
to's error at second. F1shback made
a pretty bunt that advanced Dutchko
to second. Osgood hit a pretty one
to Sherer at third, and caught Dutch
ko far enough away from second to
complete a double play, the only
one of the game
In Mitchelrs fifth was where the
fireworks were turned loose to a
marked degree, and the batting av-
erages were given a good boost. Nolt
was the first man up and he famed.
Otto got a life IN a muffed fly, while
Wilson landed heavily to left field,
advancing Otto a base, while Farley
walked filling the bases again. Lew
is came to bat, and the old boy had
a grim determination to make a kill
ing. He picked out a nice at the
