Star Part


battle between Haag and Jones yes
terday at University park, Minco
snatched victory from defeat and hum
bled El Reno by g 2 to score. From
the first tap of the gong until the
knockout, Mincc apparently was stag
ing an uphill fight, being unable to
handle with effect the offerings of
Haag, the Indian box artist.
Haag went well and had the Minco
smuggling crew on his hip most of the
distance, scattering six hits over the
entire route, no two Of which came in
the same inning, with the exception of
the ninth, when Minco won. He was
especially good in the pinches.
While the Indians work was good,
it was surpassed by that of jones,
Minco slabman, who had but one bad
inning, when Ell Reno registered in
which frame he reliquished three bin
giles, one a double That was in the
fourth frame, and just to show that he
was not slipping, he tightened up and
did not allow the semblance OF a hit
from that frame to the close. He gave
UP four hits In all.
Played in Dust Storm.
A fierce south wind was in evidence
all afternoon, sweeping the diamond
and filling the air so full of real estate
that frequently the game was stopped
momentarily to allow an unusually
large cloud of dust to settle.
Both teams were there with the sup
porters and never for an instant did
the roofing cease. Duncan, home of
Nels Jones, went strong enough to
send quartet of alleged harmony pro
ducers to boost the spirits of the
Minco pitcher. lei Reno was shy the
harmony but there every way from
the middle with lung power.
El Reno Looked Dangerous.
Even in the opening round the El
Reno clan looked dangerous and moth
ing but good baseball prevented them
from registering. Jones had hard
time locating the plate to go with. He
walked Hopper, the first up. Payne
sacrificed him to second, Snyder tc
Campbell e. Hody duplicated the
stunt Jones to Campbell, landing Hop
per at third. 1t was then up to tht
cleanup man, T Hody, to register the
runner He failed to come across, ow.
ing principally to his inability to con
meet successfully with the slants
shoots and hooks that Jones was serv
ing up He was killed on slow
grounder, Jones to Campbell
Minco went out in.order in the first

three men to face him, but in the next
frame errors and hits scored one e.
Hody tore off a two Dagger In trying
to stretch it into three sacks, he was

man dropped the pill and Hody was
safe. T. Hody singled, scoring Eel
