The Evening Game $3.50 s-s.
The second game was started at
6:15 p. M, and lasted but six innings,
being called on account Of darkness.
I, Wermerskerchen OF Pierz worked on
the mound for the locals in this game,
and acquitted himself in ereditable
manner. He struck out four men, al
lowed but five hits and passed two
men.
Donaldson, for the visitors, played
his usual game, striking out thirteen
men, allowing but two scratch hits and
issuing but one pass. Considering the
fact that it was very dark during the
game, it is a wonder that any Of the
players dared face Donaldson as his
delivery is nearly as swift as light
ming. Several times the batter was
just preparing to swing the bat when
the ball would already be tucked away
in the catcher 3 mitt.
The All Nations started scoring in
the first half Of the first ming when
Mendez got a two-bagger, cdvanced
to third on a sacrifice hit by Crow and
scored on balk. Blattner then
singled, advanced two bases on sin
gle by Dunbar and the two scored on
an error by Lonier.
They made their fourth score in the
fifth inning when Donaldson got
three-bagger and scored on hit by
Blattner.
Little Falls was not given a single
chance by Donaldson and only two
men who saw first base, these being
Berg and Wermerskerchen, the latter
reaching third.
