Atwater Wins Game.

local high school for this year was
lost to Atwater by the score Of S to
3. On the day Of the game the wind
was blowing very hard and on this
account alone it would have been al
most impossible for the game to be
free from errors on either side. AS
t was, the game was, fast and in
to the spectator. The sixth
inning was the fireworks inning for
they scoring 4 of their S
runs. The w. H. S. scored all it's
runs in the eighth inning. In the
batting department both sides we're
weak. The Atwater pitcher had a
high ball which the Willmar batters
seemed to be hungry for, for they
struck .at almost every one that was
pitched without any results, while
the Atwater batters also famed a
great number of times. Each team
received only three hits apiece and
this is considered very good consid-
ering the hard wind which was blow
ing. Willmar outplayed Atwater in
every inning except the sixth and
that was surely Atwater's big in
ming. The game was played at At
water and when they play here a
merry battle can be expected. Fol-
lowing is the game, inning by inning
Willmar was the first to bat and the
first three men struck out, quickly
retiring the side. Arneson lead off
for Atwater and hit the ball, but was
put out on first, Villains to Erick-
son. The next man struck
out and then Malmberg got his base
on balls and stole second but died
here, for Hendrickson struck out.
The second inning Nordstrom hit the
ball but was put out on first and the
next two men struck out. In At
waters turn at the bat Anderson
got to first on an error by Larson and
then stole second and came home
on a sacrifice by McHenry. Rube
Anderson was put out, Noldstorm to
Erickson. The next man struck out.
The third inning was the same old
story. The first two men struck out
and Williams flew out to center field.
In the final half Of the inning Boyle
got safe hit and stole second, but
died on third, for Arnespn fouled
out to Nordstrom and Covell and
Malmberg were put out at first base.
Carlson got hit for Willmar in the
first part Of the fourth and stole
second and went to third on a clean
hit by Boyd, who also stole second,
but they died on the respective bas-
es for the next two men struck out
and Ericks IN fouled out. Only three
men had chance to bat for Atwat-
er in this inning for Hendrickson was
put out at first and Anderson was
out on caught fly while the third
man struck out. During the fifth
inning the first two men up for Will
mar struck out and then Taylor got
on bases by an error and stole Sec
ond, but the best Williams could do
was to fly out to first. Only three of
Atwater's men faced the pitcher, for
the first one struck out and the 9TH
er two men were put out at first
base. In the sixth inning Carlson
flew out to center field and the next
two men failed to touch the ball.
Then started Atwater's big inning.
Three errors by Willmar coupled
with some hard hitting on Atwater's
part and the Willmar team being up
in the air, gave Atwater four more
runs and enough to win the game. At
the beginning Of the seventh inning,
Nordstrom flew out to Malmberg and
Erickson was put out at first, while
the next man famed. Arneson was
the first man up for Atwater during
this session and he struck out while
Covell was out on fly to left field.
Malmberg was put out at first. The
eighth inning Willmar started things.
The first man up struck out. Then
Taylor got his base on balls, stole
second and then Williams also got
a base on balls. Carlson hit safely,
scoring Taylor. Then Boyd hit a
two base. hit which scored Williams
and Carlson. Boyd was blocked on
second and in this way put out and
McGrew famed. Hendrickson of
Atwater got base hit but the next
two men were put out on fouls and
Anderson flew out to center field. In
the first Of the ninth the high school
strove hard to score but it was in
vain for Nordstrom got out on a foul
and Erickson andss DeLaHunt struck
out.
