GREEN. SOX VICTORIOUS
By II. s. Med.

Last Saturdays ball game between LIE
Sueur Centre and the Green Sox was one
of the most evenly matched and holly con-
tested games that was ever played on our
local diamond. lie Sueur was first to bat
and Thomas, Krava, and Dickinson were
all three put out, Thomas being allowed to
walk to first but he was unsuccessful in try
| ing to make second.
The Green Sox then came to bat and
Wilson got to first by being hit with the
ball, he was put out on second. Grannel-
Iy followed and stirred up the breeze but
failed to connect with the sphere. Jones,
the lightning short-stop, somewhat evened
things up when he laid hold of the big stick,
and nothing would satisfy him except
home run, so he went and did it. Vosberg
followed Jones to bat and promptly famed
| the breeze three times in succession. Thus
ended the first inning-score to 0 in favor
of the Green Sox.
In the first half of the second, Jost and
Eyrich of lie Sueur, both lifted two baggers,
but lost was the one to score. The Green
Seekers failed to tally in their half of the
inning and the score was to l.
Thomas Krava, and Traxler of LIE Sueur
scored in the third inning. The Green Sox
could not cross the plate and so the score
stood a to in favor of lie Sueur at the
close of the third inning.
Neither side scored during the fourth
LIE Sueur scored in the fifth and once more
the Seekers failed to tally. Score to in
favor of lie Sueur.
During the sixth inning Wilson, of the
Sox, brought in score and as LIE Sueur
failed to cross the plate the score was made
S to in lie Sueur's favor.
Ill 4 he
but the terrible Green Seekers got a line on
Traxlers curves, went on rampage and
proceeded to take the bit in their teeth.
Page started things by lining out two
Dagger, and Lafferty speedily followed after
him with single. Big Chief Scarumpitch-
er then secured another single bringing
Page over the plate. The Big Chief was
followed by Lovejoy who swatted out
another two Dagger and Laferty and Big
Chief both crossed over the plate. Carlton
then grabbed the big stick and not to be
out done he promptly sent out fly that
melted him two bases and brought Lovejoy
home. The fans now proceeded to execute
few steps of every known jig and tango
in existence, while whoops and hurrahs in
forty different languages resounded from
every spot of the prison yard. Wilson then
came TO bat and was sent to first on balls.
Grannelly and Jones then famed out and
Vosberg was struck by pitched ball and
limped to first. Page then desperately
grabbed bat and sent out single on which
Wilson scored. Lafferty famed making
the side out. Score 8 to in favor of the
Seekers. Great was the rejoicing among
the fans, for the tide had turned.
LIE Sueur failed to cross the sack or even
to reach first in the eight and the Seekers
ran in two more scores just to show that
they were still in the game.
By the way the LIE Securities started out in
the ninth it looked as though we were in
for another trimming, for they made a
scores the first jump out of the box, ma
king the score 10 to 9, and the Seeker root
ers began to feel shaky, as there were three
men on bases and only two men out. Ey-
rich was last to bat for LIE Sueur and the
Count succeeded in tanning, and the game
closed 10 to 9 in favor of the Green Sox,
and thus we won the first game we have
been able to win from an outside team. We
hope we may have the pleasure and the
honor of winning many more, and we sure
will enjoy a return game with LIE Sueur,
and we know we voice the sentiments of
every inmate of this institution when we
say, "Three cheers and tiger for the LIE
Sueur Centre boys!
One thing which we have failed to men,
toned is the fact that our short-stop, Jones,
alone had eleven put-outs credited to him
besides making double play. We call
that playing ball.
The score by innings is given below for
anyone who desires to see what the score
was.
