Defeats Ashland Brewers In Good
Game.


Manager Mac gave his bunch OF ball
stossers a work out Sunday afternoon on the
local lot when they stacked up against the
Ashland Brewers in the initial game Of the
season When the game started several
youngsters were seen in the line up ard i
was quite evident that the manager was go
ing to start the Youngsters off 70 see how
lhey would act under fire, holding the vets
back in case they were needed to bring
home the bacon later in the game. Roni-
osh stasisd to pitch for the locals, and with
the exception Of being trihe wild, owing
to the cold wind blowing, was effective in
all Of the eight innings ne worked. He all
lowed only three hits and struck out ten
men, giving four bases on balls. Several
times through the game he showed his
nerve by laying three straight ones over the
plate with the count three balls to nothing
against him. He fields his position splen-
didly and is a pretty good hitter Coulon
did not show up very strong in his chance,
but it might have been due to the fact that
he did not go far enough to get started.
He was wild as bucking broncho and two
passes, together with lucky two base hit,
nearly tied up the game in the last inning
The recruits could do nothing with Ander-
sons offerings, who was working for the
beer tossers, and as a result they were side
tracked in the fourth inning and some ofthe
old vets given the Indian sign to 60 out and
get something to work on. In the starting
Of the fourth Janka led off with a pass and
was sacrificed to second by Vic Walker,
who was retired at first on the play. After
Newage had gone out Anderson to Berg,
sssDoc' White, pinch hitting for Holmes,
the second, lined out nice two sacker and
scored Janka. Boniosh and Zeke Walker
then followed with hits and when the smoke
cleared away the score board showed three
marks chalked up for the locals. We scor-
ed two more in the eighth on another hit
by Vic, stolen base. error in the left field
and hits by Jako and Boniosh. the former

visitors scored their first run in the first IN
ming on pass and two errors by Holmes.
They registered again in the eight on an

wallop. by Bader. With Bader on Sec ID
Id Walker nailed terrific line drive and
doubled the fast out6elder off of second un-
assisted. In the ninth with Coulon pitch
ing for the locals, the first man up, Young,
batting for Anderson, walked, but was fore
ed BY Fossum, Jako to Walker, Sidlo then
walked and aftel Weis had been retired via
Janka to first, Kelley got his lucky hit over
the left field fence, scoring two runs. Coil-
lon, however, easily disposed Of Heany by
by the strike out route to prevent further
trouble, The game was played clearly for
the first game of the season, but the locals
lacked in timely hits. They secured nine
wallops off Anderson but in only two in
nings, could they be punched end several
times two and three runners were left to
die on the sacks because the hits did not
come. Bost and Pennock, two good hit
tiers, while getting one hit piece, were
easy victims for Anderson's high ball,
which showed their tendencies toward the
nasty stuff.
The score follows:
