The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1913-08-29

double play. Umpires, H. E. and W..
A. Plymat.
Mankato lost the bacon in the
game with the Loyolas yesterday
afternoon by the close score of
to 5. Thompson was on the mound
for Mankato and the game he put
up was entirely above any criticism
on the part of the fans. Errors in
the first few nnngs lost the game.
Two runs for Loyola came on an
error in the second inning and another
one on error in the third. Maloney
twirled for the Loyolas, and the
pitching battle was about a "stand
off" between him and Thompson.
Each hurler struck out three men,
and two of Mankatos men walked
and three walks were given Loyola.
The startling feature of the game
was a tumbling act in the first inn
ing, which was as good as anything
in vaudeville. Morrow was on second
base, and started to lead off when
his head collided with the solar
plexus of the umpire, II. E. Plymat,
and that official promptly turned a
complete summersault over Nor
rows back and landed on his back
in the dust. The stunt drew lots
of applause, but the actors refused
to respond to an encore.
Fine Double Play.
In the first of the eighth Mankato
executed double play that worked
like clock. E. Mahlke hit to third
base, and from there the horsehide
was snapped to second, getting Ma
loney there, and from second it was
relayed to first, in plenty of time to
get the batter. Tft@-t =
An unfortunate accident, to Stro-
bel, Mankato's second baseman
put long faces on his fellow
players. Strobel slid to Sec
ond, and twisted his ankle out of
joint. He was carried off the field,
and taken to a doctor at once. Lou
dell was then put in centerfeld,
and A. Peterson came into second.
Mankato led off with score in
the first inning. Morrow landed a
safe one, and a long drive by H.
Mccall took him home. In the Sec
bnd Loyola made two runs on err
rors. Hughes walked, and Maloney
hunted E. Mahlke laid the ball on
the ground at shortstop. and an err
ror there let in both men on bases.
Three more runs were added by
Loyola in the next frame. Farrell
hunted, and came in on an error at
second. Sandon stole second, and
came in on an overthrow to third.
Hughes's sacrifice brought Schneider
home. Mankato got five hits in the
last of this frame, only three runs.
Myers got hit, stole second, and
came in on hit by Thompson. A.
Peterson singled and Thompson
went to third. B. Peterson landed
safe on bunt, and Thompson was
caught too far off third base.
Mccall Slammed One.
Mccall then proceeded to slam one
to centerfield, bringing the Peterson
brothers home. The score stood one
in favor, of Loyola until the last
of the fifth, when B. Peterson got
pass, and a two-bagger by Morrow
brought him round to the plate.
This tied the score, and both
teams struggled vainly to get lead
for four innings. Some very inter-
esting playing was doped out to
the fans, and they appreciated it.
In the ninth Huettl got hit to
short stop, and was advanced one
station by Farrells walk. Sandon
caught the ball. lucky one on the
end of the bat, and put it just out
of reach of the rightf1elder. Huettl
came home on the hit, and a fly to
center, grounder to the pitcher
and strikeout by Mankato ended
the game.
Red Sox Won ha.
The Red Sox ran away with the
Hill Tops yesterday in a most in.
teresting contest, by score of 8
to 4. The scoring commenced in
the second inning, and the Red Sox
made score in every inning which
followed. The batteries were Knaub
and Olson for the Red Sox and
Werdlman and Rivers for the Hill
Tops
