HazeltOn Trims Bismarck
Had a stranger happened to
blow" into town last Sunday and
had he been perchance a student of
Goldsmith, he would have been OBJ.
sessed with the idea that he had
landed in that mythical spot, THE
Deserted Village. flor Linton was in
Hazelton that day. At least, a
good share of Linton was there.
Bismarck had sent down a bunch of
baseball battlers to do up their
"hay-seed" friends and incidentally
revenge defeat which had been
suffered previously at the hands of
such aforesaid hayseeds-and Lin
ton was out in force to see the fun.
Twelve auto-loads of people went
from here.
The day was extremely disagreed
Bile. but the weather did not hinder
record-breaking attendance. Some
sixty automobiles were counted, and
the estimates of the number of peo-
pie who saw the game were in the
neighborhood of six hundred. De.
spite the windy weather, they were
not disappointed in the quality of
base ball put up by both teams. Al
though the final count went 3 to
for Hazelton, it. was gamy scrap
all the way. Both teams were in
perfect condition and each had
strong slab-artist at the helm. The
heavy wind blowing from the south
had tendency to keep the hitting
down, as many hard drive went
foul because Of it. The pitchers
both worked finely had good support
and neither team had any soft snap.
Hazelton got their lead about half
way through the game when
couple of errors and a hit scored
three. Bismarck got one later on an
error by Sherman, but the best it
did for them was to save them from
shut-out. The Bismarck team
was considerably strengthened since
the l4.inning contest of several
weeks ago and Hazelton had Frank
Kohl back in uniform.
A number of feature plays we're
pulled off in the game Sunday. Paul
Kurtz perhaps made the most SEN
sational play of the day. He made
run for low fly and fell just as
the ball struck his glove. He went
to the earth with the ball some
where under him. but when he re-
coveredl himself he had the ball Sc
curely grasped and the runner was
declared out. Some complaint was
heard from the visitors that Kurtz
had dropped the ball and picked it
up while laying on the ground. The
umpires couldn't see that he had
dropped it and it went for put-out.
The Hazelton outtield had six chances
without an error, which goes to
show that the Capital City boys he
lieved in hitting the hall once in
while, all right. In the seventh in
ming Thompson hurt his foot and
Shenkenherger took his place for
the rest of the game. Vincent Shier
held down center garden and Frank
Streeter the right field for the
Hazelton boys. The Bismarck play
ers are snappy lot and showed up
extremely well in practice. They
are fast on their feet and kept a
runner guessing. The absence of
kicking and "rag-chewing" was
noticeable. Messrs. j. r. Snyder and
Harry Lynn, of Linton, officiating,
and giving decisions in competent
and impartial manner.
The winning of Sundays game
from Bismarck gives Hazelton the
seasons series, Bismarck winning
one and Hazelton two, and allows
the folks up the line to feel conf
dent that they can meet all corners
with degree of confidence that
their representatives will give good
account of themselves.

ton were Messrs L. du Heaume,

Horner, l.. A. Corwine. F. B. Irvine,
