The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1912-08-23
OH! WHAT A SLAUGHTER!

the score stood 13 to 2 in favor of the
Tigers.
The locals should have had a shut
out to their credit as DR.. Kcstner who
was doing the umpiring gave
one bad decision in the ninth that re.
suited in both of the tallies for the
Shelley team, but that is all right
the tigers had plenty to spare at that.
AS early as the first inning Shelley
could feel themselves slipping, and
about the sixth was ready to fall, but
came up in the ninth with blood in
their eyes.
Blackfoot took the field first, and
w. Hall the first man up for Shelley
was an easy out to first, H Hall the
next whitfield at three, but Martin
dropped the ball and got his man by
a close call. Fauquaker was pickings
for Kimball, who threw him out at
first with perfect throw.
Blackfoot came to bat with Kim
ball leading off with dandy over
second which was good for one bag,
DeKay went out at first, then Mar
tin the veteran of many battle came
up and whaled out a three Dagger,
which brought Kimball home, no
more scoring this inning.
/ Shelley could do nothing with
Thortesenberg in the second and he
moved them down, one, two three,
fashion.
But in the second when Blackfoot
came to bat for the second time Thor
estenberg who was leading off put
the pill over the race track for a
homer, and it sure was some hit. He
was standing on the home plate be-
fore the fielder even got hold of the
ball. Then Parkinson and Larson did
some fancy stick work and both ran
home minute later when Kimball
came through with his second hit of
the game.
BY this time Thorestenberg who
was doing some fancy pitching, had
Shelley at his mercy, and he was not
very kind to them, not even letting a
man get around to third until the last
inning. Every thing went lovely for
the locals. From this on they chased
over scores in the third, end fourth
and did not score again until the last
half of the eighth inning, but here is
where the saddest part of the game
comes in, (that is for Shelley Dip
pei came through with o peaLh, then
up came Martin who got a sacrifice,
and who should come up next but our
old friend Thorestenberg with look
on his face that meant murder for the
ball if it got within reach of his old
reliable willow. He struck at the first
one and missed, but ooh you second
one," he hit so ARE on the nose and
put it over the track for his second
homer of the game, cleaning up the
bases. Spani and Parkinson both hit
safe and then comes up Swede Lar
son, who hit out three Dagger, and
bringing in two scores, and came in
a minute later when Cooper hit safe
that finished the scoring, making
total of five earned runs in that in
ming
Now is where Shelley gets in her
work, w. Hall leading off with hit
to right field which was a foul by1 0
feet, but DIR. could not see it that way
and called it fair ball, and Mr.. Hall
did noe stop until he got around to
third base and scored e. minute later
when Spent and Larson ran into each
other chasing after pop up fly.
Then Jeraluman hit out two Dagger
bringing in the other sco-e, and after
that it was good night" as Thores-
tenberg frightened up and the other
two men were easy outs.
Blackfoot fielded and batted the
best in this game than they have in
any other so far this season, and
should have shut out to their credit
by all means. Now this is not knock
ing the Shelley boys at all, as they
played a good clean game, and GER
tainly had a good bunch of ball play |
ers in their line up, but they could |
not do anything with Thorestenbergs |
,wisters.
R. DeKay played a fine game at
bird base and made some fine pick
Fps which would have resulted I'M
scores but for timely stops.
Below is the line up of both teams:
