New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1914-07-22

round. With one down in the fourth
Pfeifer bingled to left, the first hit of the
day off Spahr. Friedl sacrificed and Pfei-
fer stole third. Burk singled, scoring
Pfeifer and Hodgins walked, sending
Burk to second. Dahms doubled to left
center, Burk counting on the smash and
Hodgins going to third. Lynch then
tried to catch Dahms mapping off the
middle cushion, but hurled the sphere to
the outer gardens, Hodgins scoring.
Dahms also tried to score on the wild peg
but was called out at the plate. 1t was
a close play and the New Ulm
players objected rather strenuously to
the decision.
Albert Lea took another marker in
the last of the fifth, a wild throw by Burk
being mainly responsible. Stevenson
began the attack by strolling to first on
four wide ones and Farley laid down a
bunt. Stevenson kept on to third on the
sacrifice and Burk heaved the ball way
over "Skinny's'' head, allowing Steven
son to continue to the plate, Lynch roll
ed out, Cordes to Burk, but Robinson
delivered a single and stole second. Ross
bach grounded out, C. Williams to Burk.
Four solid swats produced three runs
for the Athletics in the first of the sixth
and gave the New Ulm lads the lead for a
short time. Chick Williams began the
ferocious attack upon Spahr by slamming
single to left. Pfeifer picked his second
hit to the same garden and Friedl scored
Williams and sent Pfeifer to third on his
one base smash to center. Burk skied to
Robinson utHodgins rose to the occas-
sion and smote two sacker to left CEN
ter, Friedl and Pfeifer counting.
Hodgins took third on Dahms' out at
first and Crawford rolled one to Robin
son. Spahr was yanked from the game,
Sheehan taking up the pitching burden
in the next inning.
With two down in the seventh C. Will
liams drew walk and stole second. Pfeif-
fer doubled to the fence, the hit being one
of his famous smashing line drives
''Chick' trugded across the plate on the
hit with New Ulm's eighth and final
score. Friedl banged out what looked
like another hit to center, but Stevenson
came in fast and made a pretty shoe
string catch of the drive.
Stevenson was first up for Albert Lea
in the last of the seventh and dropped
the ball over the right field fence for a
home run. Pfeifer backed right up to
the fence and then watched the pill dis
appear. If the fence had not been SO
near it would have been an easy out as
the ball cleared the boards by only a
couple of feet. Farley and Lynch singled
in succession and Robinson sacrificed
them ahead. Rossbach arched a high
one to C. Williams for the second out and
then Crawford showed what his good
right arm could do by striking out Prim-
ley, one of Albert LEAFS best hitters.
Herb" Hodgins clouted double to
right with one down in the eighth, but
Dahms struck out and Crawford rolled
an easy one to Sheehan. Dahms kicked
strenuously on his strikeout, claiming
that he had only two strikes. Manager
Seifert and the other New Ulm players
upheld him in his contention, but UNI
pire Olson was obdurate and would not
change his decision.
With two down in the last of the eighth
Broderick was given a base on balls.
Stevenson hit a long one to center, Friedl
misjudged it slightly then and missed it
when he did get his hands on the ball.
Broderick scored but Friedl recovered the
sphere in time to throw Stevenson out
at third. The hit was certainly hard
one to handle and the error was partly
excusable.
Crawford disposed of Farley in easy
fashion to begin the last of the ninth,
Cordes grabbing his high fly. Joe Lynch
manager for the AlbertLea club was next
up and he swung at the first two balls
and missed. Crawford tried to tempt
him with a high fast ball and perhaps it
! was too much of a temptation to Joe for
; the ball cleared the left field fence by thir-
ty feet and he trotted around the paths
with the winning run.
Notes of Albert Lea Came.
Bob Stevenson played fine game for
the Albert Lea club. He scored three
runs, smashed out home run, walked
twice, cut off run at the plate by a
splendid peg and gathered in four flies
in center, some Of them extremely
difficult catches.
Spahr struck out the side in the second
inning, getting Burk, Hodgins and Dahms
