Thursday Game.
Manilla's crack team was on hand
for Thursdays game and when it be.
came known that the team was loaded
for the event nearly every business
man and baseball fan made arrange
ments to attend. There was an enor-
nous crowd in attendance, the grand
stand was packed and the side lines
were damned clear to the fence with
an enthusiastic crowd of rooters and
scores of carriages and automobiles
were lined up along the fences.
AS soon as the crowd saw the Ma
nilla players they knew it would be
a battle till the finish, with the ad-
vantage in Manilla's favor. There was
Creighton, the star catcher of Oma-
has champion team, the Storz Tri-
umphs. Everyone knew Creighton, he
had caught for the Denison team three
years ago when we had the profess
sional team, and it was conceded he
was one of the best catchers in the
west today. Olson, who pitches for
Omaha team, is an eX-elaguer that
needed no Introduction to those who
follow the baseball dope. He is one
of the best pitchers in the west today,
and furnished plenty of speed Thurs
day afternoon. With the battery of
Olson and Creighton Manila had the
advantage, but to make sure of victory
they had enlisted Curly" Davis, of
Coon Rapids, one of the best all
around ball players in Iowa. Curly"
is we'll known here also having
played with our professional team.
Smith, also of Coon Rapids, had been
secured by the Manila contingent to
hold down the first sack.
Denison was outclassed from the
start and the professionals were no
match for an all-home team, but the
boys took it good naturally and went
into the game to do their best, win OF
lose. Notwithstanding the profession.
al team Denison was playing, it was
the best exhibition of ball that has
been played on the grounds for sever
al years and the visitors knew it
would take some good playing to win
the game.
In the first inning the visitors took
their bat first, putting up Curly"
Davis. Davis made a nice hit and
landed at first and made second on a
sacrifice hit by Sykes, who was out on
first. Moore batted next for the Wis
itors and swatted nice single that
allowed Davis to get to third base. Ma
nilla scored on the next play, Graham
making a nice hit, which allowed Davis
to cross home plate. Smith, of the
visiting team, made the third out and
Denison went to bat.
Denison evened up the score in their
half, Richards, Denison's shortstop,
scoring the run. In this inning Mote
was struck by wild ball thrown by
the pitcher and another runner had to
take his place.
The game from this inning on was
a pitchers battle and "Tut" Faul
pitched his usual heady game for the
locals.
Manila scored again in the fourth
inning on an error and in the fifth an
other runner crossed the home plate.
The home team seemed to be weak
on batting and the visiting pitcher
baffled the locals with his speed. The
boys were able to get several hits from
this ex-leaguer, but as they were not
punched no scores were made.
The score at the end of the ninth
inning stood to in favor of the
visitors.
1t was a nice clean victory for Ma
nilla and there is no kick coming on
the part of anyone. Rev. J. Jas. De-
Pre- umpired the game and if there
was any favoritism shown Manila had
the advantage.
The score by innings:
Manila ........1 0 % l 0 0 0 O-3
Denison .......1 0 0 0 o 0 0 o.
