HARD TIL G IS
OF GAME
Both Chicken and Jarnigan
Allowed Fairly Generous
Supply of Bingles.

IN one OF the most sensational fin
1shes thai have been staged at the
Dacotah park the Flickertails last
evening tucked away a victory after Il,
Seemed as though defeat was certain.
With two runs needed to put the team
n the win column, and with two men
down, Morse. star third baseman and
sometime pitcher, connected with one
Tor two sacks, driving in two runs ana
winning the game. The finish was of
the hair raising kind, coming some
what unexpectedly, but exceedingly
welcome for all of hat. Let it be
said chat Morse was there with the
goods last night. The tinal score WA
s to 4.
Both pitchers were hit lard. a total
of twenty-one bingles being made off
then during the exciting contest. But
that Is what the crowd delights in
sometimes, and they sure got it in
punches last night. Thrilling baseball
was the order Of the evening, and no
man could say as he wended his way
ihonseward to a late supper that he
had not seer a baseball game. The
grandstands n the bleachers were
kept in a constant oar by the flashy
playing on both sides. The most
amusing feature OF the game was the
''Dare you to pitch another inning"
,bing-song Of an enthusiastic fan in the
stands. It f1ustered Chicken for a
while. and almost got his goat"
Morse and Rube Foster were the
hitting demons of the evening. Rube
got three hits out Of fou trips to the
plate while Morse got three hits out Of
Ave Journeys to the platter. Morse's
hit In the ninth was, of course the
star btngle Of the ARRAY. but hits
whenever made always started some-
thing. Persch, Morse and Jarnigan
were the only men who were able to
.connec for more thar n sack. They
bach. got. doubles.
In Hot Water.
Jarnigan and Chicken both were in
hot water several times during the
course Of the evenings entertainment.
The Superior Red Legs We're crazy to
win. Their zeal was equaled by h a
Of the Fprkers, and between the two.
selves in the very center OF the ex-
element. Eleven hits were garnered
OF Jarnigan's delivery while Chicken
was touched for one less. There were
very few strikeouts, Jarnigan being
,cradated with three and Chicken with
ave.
