A GOOD BALL GAME
Crystal Falls Beat Out stambaush BY a
Rally in the Eighth Inning

with real catcher working at the
receiving end and a whole ounce OF
ginger in the lineup behind the pitcher
People go to bali games 10 see the
fielders work, not to see the battery

the spectators were we'll pleased last
Sunday especially at the work done
by end baseman. first base and short
stop. One stop made by Johnson when
he went back after hard drive TO-
wards third speared it and felded 10
first in time TO get the runner was
worth the price Of admission.
Duffy at second was the star per-
former in the field and, barring one
error, put up as good game az has
been seen around that bag in a long
time. Oranges" always plays good
game at first but is deficient in gett-
ting the runner on throws from either
end OF the battery, an art that he must
acquire before smart runners can be
kept on the bag Write minus sign

He had nothing TO do but he does swing

believe he would make dandy instuc-

We said that Johnson's stop alone
was worth the admission price that

Of work pulled of that was worth the
matinee price after the big show. II

Schott was going too good 70 provide
much exercise for them.
Speaking Of Schott, he pitched his
usual brilliant game never showing
yellow streak because some fellow
got hit Oft him. He had Ulrich on
the receiving end and the latter is
without any exception, as fine work
ing catcher as has ever worked on the
local diamond.
Schott has but one bad inning when
couple Of hits were punched that
let in two runs the second inning.
That little lead didn't upset him. He
kept right on pegging and the locals
finally pulled mp winners in the eigth
The local team is fearfully weak
with the stick and lost several oppor
tunities TO bring runs across because
of failure in the pinches.
On the whole the team showed mp
fifty per cent better than they did a
week ago. With cleanup hitter like
Dauss on the team we should not be
in bad shape
Stamhaugh sprung one suprisa or

team that can put mp creditable game
