SLAUGHTER OF
INNOCENTS
BALLARD SUBSTITUTED FOR
AUBURN AND THE SMOKE
STACKERS KICK THEM ALL
OVER THE LOT-RETAIL
CLERKS PLAY SUNDAY.

At the last moment Ballard was sub
stituted in the game Sunday for Auburn
but the boys from the 5awdust berg
were hopelessly outclassed. 1t was APP
paraent from the start that Everett had
their number. The first three men UP
for Ballard died easy victims to Single
tons curves while Everett scored two in
her half. 1t was a day to Singleton's
liking and he had everything that q
pitcher should have, striking out fifteen
during the session. Several new faces
were seen on the home team. Ladd,
formerly with the state league was be-
hind the plate and Strong and Welts
were in the outfied. Both men arc
classy ball players. Welts, an old L. of
w. boy, making an instant hit with the
fans with his clever work He picked one
off the center field fence after a long
run that looked like an impossible
chance and had to doff his cap to the
stand as he trotted in.
Levin and Giddings were back on third
and first respectively. Maybe that in
field wasn't alright. A comparatively
small crowd was out but those who
made he pilgrimage to the park were
amply repaid by seeing the strongest
lineup Healy has put on the field this
year. They formed a free hitting base
running combination that in our humble
opinion could have given any ameteur
bunch in this section hard chase last
Sunday. Welts, Strong, Kraus and We
borg stung the pillet for extra bases
while every member of the team save
Ladd, Giddings and Singleton annexed
one or more hits.
In Stoke, Ballard has a good pitcher
and the hit and run column does not
properly tell of his work He had a
splitter that broke nicely and with the
proper support would have cut down that
flock of runs. Nine errors for Ballard
tells the story.
If it is possible to hold Sundays
lineup together the balance of the sea
son the fans will have cause to forget
all about those games cropped to Marys-
vile and NIukilteo. Sweet revenge is in
sight if either one of the above teams
has the foolhardiness to tackle the
Smokestackers again, Come on down and
see us, Marysville!
We would advise all baseball bugs to
postpone and contemplated excursion out
of town for next Sunday. For the first
time this season the Clerks and the
Smokestackers will meet and it will be
a time of Joy unallowed Joe Goldman,
who has transferred his affections to the
Clerks team, will take cyanide of potas-
sium if his tribe loses, The Clerks held
Marysville to a to ] score Sunday and
any team that can do that has got
something beside heated atmosphere in
its repertoire. It's better to come out
and see the fun than to kick yourself
after the game is over because you
stayed away. If You don't get your
quarters worth of excitement you are
hard one to please
