INTERIOR WINS THIRTEEN INNING BALL
GAME FROM KADOKA BY SCORE OF z to l

The Interior ball team came up on
the freight Tuesday afternoon and
met the locals in one Of the fastests
games eyer played OF the local diam
ond and at the end of thirteen innings
the visitors had succeeded in getting
two runnors across home plate, while
the best our boys could do was to
count up one run.
The freight was late and the game
did not start until 5:17 O'Clock, and
the short notice given that the visit
tors would be here was the cause OF
only a small crowd of fans being out
to see the game, but those who did
turn out We're well repaid for missing
their supper.
Each of the Interior boys carried a
rabbits foots in his pocket and the
mascot had a whole grip full of horse
shoes, at least one would be lead to
think so from the way luck broke for
them. Two errors were made by each
team and those made by Kadoka were
costly. A number of sensational plays
were pulled off and the fans were
liberal in giving applause to the men
of either team whenever a good play
was made.
Beaver was on the mound for the
visitors and pitched a good game, and
while hit fairly hard kept the hits
well scattered through the entire
thirteen innings. Lee SWEET in left
field put up a stellar game and caught
four difficult flies. while Jess Hodges,
at second. sprang into the lime light
by sensational pick up of a fast
grounder to first base.
Walter Souser went in to pitch for
the locals and for the two hours that
the session lasted threw an article Of
ball seldom seen even in league
game. 1t was the first game he has
thrown this season and he performed
as though he was ir perfect form and
had been throwing ball right along.
The visitors secured but one hit off
his delivery and that was a dinky
Texas Lacquer just oyer third base.
He issued Tree transportation to but
two men and hit one, while sixteen
opposing batters laid down the will
low after three unsuccessful attempts
to solve his delivery. Ray SOlon did
the backstop work and held on to
them in fine shape, not having a pass
ed bali chaiked up against him. Each
one of the Kadoka boys played ball
and gave Walter the best of support
and with anything like an even break
of luck our pitcher should haYe had
shutout game to his credit. For ten
innings of the game only three Inter
ior men faced Sauser, in each inning.
In two innings four men came to bat
and in one innings five men tried to
hit the ball.
The strong wind from the south
made long hits impossible and sever
al drives good for extra bases were
made by the locals but the wind drew
them back until they were either
caught or counted for only one base.
We have no regrets to offer losing
this game as it is an honor to the
BOYS to haye taken part III game
where baseball was played all the
time. The Interior players are GER
tainly a fine bunch or boys and con-

manly manner and if kadOka had TO
lose we know of no team we would
rather see win than the Interior boys
The following is a brief sketch of
the game by inning:

behind the bat for Interior, stepped
up to the plate in his new bright blue
uniform and hit one toward second

Hughes gathered it no, Beaver hit a
grounder to short and went out Jack
