Luverne took full advantage of Craw-
ford's weakening in the closing innings
OF Tuesdays game and won from New
Ulm by to S score thus handing New
Ulm two straight defeats. Until the
seventh inning the Athletics were in
the lead and apparently had the game
we'll in hand but walk, an error,
pair of singles, double and home run
gave Luverne five runs and the game
in that fatal session. New Ulm Sc
cured twelve hits to the visitors eight
and made only one error while the
Luverne troupe had two, but the trav-
elers were so successful in punching
their hits that more runs resulted.
Pfeiffer led with the stick, getting
three bingles in five trips to the plate,
but some of the other boys were right
behind him. Friedl soaked out a triple
and single in four attempts, Morse
smashed a home run into right and
"Chick" Williams came thru with a
brace of singles. Coffee was the in
dividual bat artist for the visitors, his
home run in the seventh breaking up
the game.
Crawford began the game in wonder
full style by striking out the first three
Luverne batters and did not allow them
hit until the fourth inning. In the
seventh he lost the old zip to the ball.,
but even then he would have held them
back had it not been for an error at a
critical point. Crawford's weakening
in the final frames was not surprising
when one considers that he pitched three
games in four days.
Weidel's short stopping for the Luverne
boys was Of high order. He cut off
everal apparent hits for New Ulm,
nipped a runner at the plate and stopped
a New Ulm rally in the last Of the ninth,
by making snap throw to second and
getting double play. Friedl, "Chick"
Williams and Cordes also put up great
fielding games, handling chance after
chance without skip.
Cordes began the home half of the
opening round by being hit and Friedl de-
livered the customary sacrifice. Chick
Williams then slammed one timer,
to left, scoring Cordes. ''Chick" took
second on Pfeiffer's out, Dresser to F.
Novak, and Morse also rolled out. In.
The last Of the second the locals took
another marker. Kline doubled to right |
and scored on Dahms' single to center.
Dresser cut off the throw to the plate
ind nipped Dahms heading into second.
Both Sheldon and Crawford struck out.
Maloney walked to start the third
and took second on Mathews out but
Dresser and Roy hit nothing but the
clear atmosphere. The Athletics tried,
hard to push in few more in their half
# the inning and almost succeeded.
With one down Friedl singled to left.
and C. Williams walked. Pfeiffer tipped
4 single past short but Weidel recovered
The sphere in deep short and threw
Friedl out at the plate when he tried
to count from second. Morse flew
out to F. Novak, retiring the side.
Coffee began the fourth with bingle
to right and Weidel followed suit. F.
Novak famed and Putnam lined to
Pfeiffer in right. With two and one on
W. Novak Crawford tried to slip his
fast one over for the third strike and,
the batter met it squarely, making
three cushions on the drive. Maloney
cackled three times. Kline was beaned
to start the Athletics half on the round
and went to second on wild pitch but
the following batters could not bring
him in.
The home team went into the lead
again in the fifth by scoring three runs.
Friedl began the cannonade by ldfting
a triple to left. "Chick" Williams
rolled out to Dresser, Friedl being
compelled to hug third, but Pfeifer
picked a single to deep short, Weidel
making great barehanded stop. Morse
crashed one far over right for the circuit
and New Ulm chalked up couple more. ]
Sheldon singled over second in the
sixth but the next three batters were
unsuccessful in solving Dressen's slants.
With one gone in the first Of the
seventh w. Novak drew ticket to-
first. Maloney hit to Kline and every
thing was set for a double play. re-
firing the side, but Kline missed the
ball. Novak scored when Mathews
went out, Friedl to Kline. Dresser
punched a hit to left, scoring Maloney.
Roy swung q one base drive into left
