Pretty Contest BY Score OF =
Three to Two.

Pretty Contest BY Score of =
Three to Two.
The second game of the series be-
tween Montezuma and Dawson, with
Camp. an all-prep star, on the mound
for Montezuma and Easterly doing
the receiving, while our own star,
Perry Dozier, did the slab work for
the home team and Captain Monehan
behind the bat was played Wednes-
| day.
In the first inning Brogden, the
first man to face Dozier, struck out,
while Halves followed with clean
hit to center field, and Riley followed
with a hit over third. The best Nc
Night could do was to fan at three
wide ones. Then after wild pitch,
the runners advanced to second and
third base. Stewart hit to left and
Halves scored, and after THROWN
to Monahan, Riley was held on third
and Stewart was caught Off first.
For the next seven innings the
great national game was played to
perfection, never more than four men
facing either pitcher in any inning.
CAMPS curves seemed to be breaking
only fair, while Dozier's splitter
was Just above the average-the en-
tire team was playing ball. The en-
thusiasm displayed by the tremen-
dous crowd that witnessed the game
has never been equalled in our little
city, for they were seeing a game that
bid fair to be the championship game
of the season.
In the eighth inning with the home
team at bat, though already having
done the brut of the work for the
afternoon, Dozier began the Crane
melee by singing over third. Mona
han was put in to run for Dozier and
Immediately purloined the second
bag. After two fouls our old relia-
BILE John Henry Crouch made his
usual hit to center, which scored the
tying run, Crouch going to third on
the throw home. Davis responded to
the hit and run signal and of course
Crouch scored. Davis was out at
first. Barnard and Dunn followed
with easy outs, short to first.
Though Dawson was in the lead by
the score of two to one the ambition
of the Montezuma team was even
greater than Dozier's determination
to win. Midnight made first by wild
throw of shortstop. Stewart singled
and Midnight went to third. Sans
went out on fly to first. Methv1n,
the would-be user of the cork nat
hit a long fly to Tebeaut, who doubled
Methvin at second made an easy out
of Easterly at first.
The score stood two to two and
the home boys yet to receive their
last inning. The crowd was wild,
but not one man on either team had
to any extent lost his head. All were
playing Ddll, dS LHlo W do CAC inv SNS-O
of their lives. Monahan was an easy
out. Price hit hard liner to third,
which he beat out. Tebeaut hit to
second and on a fielder's choice, Price
was doubled at second. Tebeaut by
fast work reached first on the play.
Cooke was sent in to bat for Sealy,
and Tebeaut made a clean swipe of
second. Though Camp was as cool
and steady as a declared professional,
and still was breaking his wide
curves across the p1atter-and then,
Cooke hit fast enc fairly in the face
for triple, which broke up the game
with the score three to two in DaW-
sons favor, as Tebeaut had scored
before the sound of the crack of the
bat had died out of the ears OF the
crowd.
AS to the particular features Of the
game. every man played tiptop ball,
Both pitchers used their heads as
never before, and of course the only
individual star of the game was the
mighty swat of Steve Cooke.
The box score follows:
Montezuma- ALB. X. H. H.
