One more scalp was added to the
belt of the local ball team last Thurs
day afternoon when the fast ball team
from Woodbine went down to defeat
before our dandy aggregation of ball
tossers by the score of to 3. One
of the largest crowds of the season
witnessed the combat which was full
of sensational playing and hard hit
ting by both teams.
Manager Berger trotted out his
prize pitcher the one and only kulberg
to tame the gents from Woodbine but
before the smoke had settled in the
first inning Nick had got himself in
a big hole and by getting three
straight singles off the big right hand
er, together with good base running,
Woodbine was able to slip two runs
over the home plate.
Denison came back strong in their
half of the first inning and was able
to get one score by couple OF hits
and a stolen base From here on
until the 9th it was pitchers battle
between Kulberg and the star Wood
bine pitcher, neither team being able
to score.
Both pitchers were in good form and
the teams settled down to real playing
after the first inning.
The locals had a couple chances to
score but by fast fielding on Wood
bine's part, both runs were cut off at
the plate. Kulberg pitched a good
heady through out the combat espec-
tally SO in the 9th inning when Wood
bine got to his delivery for straight
singles. After pounding four hits out
in the 9Th with one man out and one
more score across the plate, Nick
proceeded to pull his cap over on one
ear and make two of their heaviest
stickers go back to the bench after
tanning the air three times.
With the score 3 to one against them
the local athletes went to bat in the
last half of the 9th with blood in
their eyes and proceeded to walk off
with the game. 1t was thee most
thrilling finish ever witnessed in Den
ison.
Klock led off with a Texas league
to right, Mote popped an infield fly
to the pitcher, Klock held the bag,
Voss drove single through short,
Klock taking third on the play, Otto
drove one to the first baseman and
beat him to the bag, Klock scoring on
a close play at the plate, Voss taking
third, Richardson came across with
a single to right field, Voss scoring
on the hit, Otto taking third. Heiden
smashed the pill to right for single
Otto scoring the winning run.
Woodbine has the fastest team that
has yet displayed there wares against
the locals this season on the home
diamond and, a return game will prob:
ably be played in short time.
The Denison ball team walked
away with another game last Sunday,
when they met the Lake View team at
the Lakewood ball park on Sunday af-
ternoon and won hard contested
game by the score of to 8.
From all reports Denison was lucky
in getting away with the game, as they
not only played fast team, but the
umpire seemed to be favoring the
Lake View nine. His decisions were
rank throughout the game and the To-
cal boys feel that they did not receive
fair treatment at his hands.
Denison played the Lake View team
there a week ago Sunday and the
teams were so evenly matched and
the score so close that another game
was scheduled for last Sunday. A large
crowd had gathered before the game
was called to witness the two fast
teams.
Richards of the local team went to
bat first for Denison, but was retired
on three strikes called by the umpire.
Kulberg, Denison's speedy pitcher,
next went to bat and made nice
single, stealing second later and was
able to score on Otto's double hit to
left field. Otto was able to score the
second tally when Klock connected
with the ball for a two base hit to
right field. Landee was put out by a
fly to left field which was caught and
Collins was struck out, closing the
first half of the first inning. Lake
View tried hard to tie the count, but
we're only able to score one run dur
ing the second half.
The locals failed to score in the
second inning, but Lake View was
able to tie the score in the third in
ming and the score remained the same
until the sixth when Denison forged
ahead. Lake View failed to score I'M
til the eighth and in the meantime
