KADOKA WINS
FROM BELVIDERE

Monday afternoon at the Fair
grounds ball PARK a merry-go-round
and swatfest was induIged ip between
the Belvidere and Kadoka base ball
teams. in which the locals had by far
the best of the argument. The game
was uninteresting owing to the one
sided score and both teams apparent
ly had an off day, the locals tighten
ing up after the third inning and play
ing a good game of ball. The score
at the close of the game was Is to 8
and the Belvidere lads had the short
count. Although not spectacular
game it was clean and at times spurts
of good ball playing by both teams
brought applause from the crowd and
not word of rag chewing was in
dulged in. Riley, of Belvidere held
the indicator, and umpired fair and
impartial game. He is one of the
best umpires we have ever had offici-
ate here.
Through an error in measuring the
distance from home plate to the
pitchers box, the latter was placed
about three feet further back than
necessary. and was not discovered
until the beginning of the fourth in
ming, and was partly the cause of the
large scores made in the first three
sessions of the game. Riley and
Brazzell where the batteries for the
visitors and did some good work.
Bsrth and Bobby Erazzell secured the
only extra base hits registered by
their team, each getting three
Dagger.
Walter Sauser and Raymond Solon
were in the points for the locals and
after the third inning Sauser had
everything his own way. Jack Hughes
was back in his old position at short
stop. and came back hard with the
willow. He secured three home runs
and each time with two men on bases.
Paul Osborn also stung the ball for
four bases in the last halt OF the first
Beividere came to the bat first and
after one man was down thew scored
five of their runs on two errors by
the local infield, three singles, an out
and three Dagger. In the next
frame they secured two singles a
bunt and with an error by the locals
they sent two more men across home
plate, and in the third they secured
two more runs, making their total
OF nine, on three bagger, a base on
balls and a single. After this inning
the pitchers box was put in Its proper
place and the boys from the east were
unable to do any further dammage
to Sauser's benders.
With the visitors five scores to the
good Solon started for the locals by
singing, stole second while Biddle
was going out, and scored on Nc
Nally's hit, Jack Hughes then stung
the ball for his first homer and scored
McNally ahead of him. Hrachovec
got on by an error, Simon hit safe,
and both scored when Osburn repeat
ed the stunt of landing on the ball
for four bases. In the second Scion
again started out for the locals and
was punctured by pitched ball, Bid
die and McNally both got on by er-
rors and Jack Hughes again sent the
ball over the right fielder and was
resting comfortably on home plate
before it was returned to the diamond.
The next two innings nothing was
doing in the score line. but in the fifth
ten men faced Riley and six more
runs were annexed. Sauser singled,
Solon doubled, Biddle and McNally
got on by errors on their drives and
Hughes again laid against the ball for
his third home run and cleared the
bases, Hrachovec walked, stole sec
ond, went to third on Simon's sacri-
flee and trotted home when Osburn
singled. Nothing was gained in the
next frame, and in the seventh Sim
on singled, was advanced by Gill
christ's bunt and scored on the sim
giles by Sauser and Solon. The eigth
brought another run, McNally hit for
three bases and scored on Hughes
single.
The official score:
