is Sd.
ERRORS GIVE VISITORS LEAD
HARD HITTING BRINGS
VICTORY.

Miserable support accorded Joe Smith
in the early innings of Sunday 8 clash with
Waseca came near throwing the game
into the lost column for New Ulm, but
the Athletics had the courage to stick to
the job, tie the score and finally win out
in the last half of the ninth inning, the
result being to victory for the Dutch.
Naturally there are number of things
which contributed, to the turning of the
!, tide first this way and then that, but the
heavy hitting of ''Chick" Williams and
Buster Lindemann stood out preemi-
nently.
Dame Fortune did not smile upon the
New Ulm cohorts before the contest and
they entered the fray at considerable
disadvantage. Hanna" Williams
thumb is still 50 bruised that he finds it
difficult to play at all and he would not
have been in the lineup had there been
any adequate substitutes. He could not
grasp bat tightly and had no difficulty
in swinging the cudgel and the fact that
no made three errors shows that he could
not handle the ball in the field.
The absence of Cordes and Pfeiffer
could be noticed both on the field and at
the bat. Donahey muffed fly alta crit
ical moment in right, which would al
most surely have been snatched by big
Bill" altho the strong wind gives some
excuse for dropping the sphere. Friedl
was shifted to third in ''Skinny's" place
and played fine game, his two errors
Notwithstanding. The fumbling and
Withdrawing habit seemed to be conta
gious and one after another of the men
were attacked by the exceedingly danger
Gus disease.
The unwarrantable desertion of Cor
ME- Burk to the Pirates without notifca-
ton to the Athletic management came
mighty close to leaving the local club
without full team to send into the
field. After some discussion Manager
Seifert himself took charge of the initial
corner and put up clever game, being the
only New Ulm infelder to escape with
out an error. That alone appeared to
be feat worthy of honorable mention,
althe the fans believe that even he would
not have escaped such a disaster had it
not been for the enormous glove in which
he encased his delicate fingers.
Altho the support the Athletics were
giving their pitcher was most dishearten-
ing Joe Smith went along in his even way
and held the enemy at bay. A double
and single in the opening round re-
suited in the only run that Waseca should
have had. The rest were gifts by that
clever troupe Of opponents Of the art of
fantastic juggling, the Athletics.
But no matter, for when a team can
clout the way some of the boys were doing
Sunday it does not make much difference
how much they kick the ball around.
''Chick" Williams was the bright and
shining light with the willow, his record
showing four hits in five trips to the plate.
The first Of these was long twobagge1
to the canvas in left while the rest were
healthy singles. Buster" Lindemann
also came in for some of the glory by
banging out double and two singles in
four times at bat, while Ed. Friedl's two
clean hits assisted in taking the starch out
Of the Waseca twirler.
