NEW ULM PIRATES WIN IN
TWELVE INNING cOMnAT

In game featured by wonderful
fielding stunts and plenty Of good hard
hitting the New Ulm Pirates won out in
twelve inning contest Sunday at Gibbon
by score of 4 to 8. Thrills were plenti-
full in the two hours and quarter of
play and there was enuf excitement in
the last few rounds for many an ordinary
game. A. Kuester was the scintillating
star for the New Ulm bunch. He held
the Gibbon sluggers to six hits and
famed 10 of them, but the best thing he
did was to win his own game in the
twelfth inning by slamming out home
run.
Altho nine errors were chalked up
against the Pirates their play abounded
in sensational catches and accurate
pegging. Burk pulled off the best catch
of the day in the eleventh when with two
Gibbon runners on the sacks he made a
headlong dive for Carlson's drive and
came up safely with the ball for the third
out.
Gutzke, Oswald and Carlson pulled off
startling plays for the Gibbon team and
did much to avert the defeat until extra
innings had been played. Kleinschmidt
and Burk did the best defensive work for
the winners, accepting thirty chances
between them without slip. Three
double plays featured Gibbon getting
two of the double killings.
Kuester, Kleinschmidt and Wicherski
were the hitting kids with the Pirates.
Kuester slammed out four hits in five
trips to the plate, the last one being the
winning 'Heimlauf.' Kleinschmidt
punched out two hits, one of them being
double and Wicherski managed to ring
up single and threebagger during the
afternoon.
Muffelman and Carlson were the only
Gibbon boys who could connect with
Kuester's slants for more than one hit,
each of them getting two. Carlson's
second hit was double in the ninth
inning and he finally brot in the score
which knotted the count.
The Pirates were the first to score,
getting two runs in the second frame.
Burk led off with single and went to
second on an error by Muffelman. A
wild pitch let him go to third. Guentner
flew out to Miller, Becker walked and
stole second and Kleinschmidt was hit.
Kuester singled, scoring Burk and Becker
but Kleinschmidt was nailed going to
third and Grams famed.
Gibbon pushed over their first marker
in the last of the fourth. With one down
Gutzke was safe on Schaefer's error.
Olson's sacrifice put him ahead and he
scored on Carlson's hit to left. Another
score in the next inning brot the count up
to two all. A mess of errors by the
Pirates gave the Gibbon boys the run
In the sixth the Pirates jumped into
lead again and held the advantage until
the ninth. Schaefer singled and was
sacrificed to second by Burk. An error
and a passed ball allowed him to score.
A double play, Oswald to Carlson kept
the Pirates from adding to their total in
the seventh, and in the eighth they
again had men on bases but could not
deliver the hit in the pinch.
Gibbon had two runners on the paths
in the last of the eighth but Kuester was
equal to the occasion and famed Olson
for the third out. In the last of the ninth
Carlson started the Gibbonites to the
tleing run with a twobagger. Miller
rolled an easy one to Kuester and
Oswald famed but Becker muffed H.
Walters fly and Carlson planted his
spikes in the rubber with the tieing run.
Both sides then settled down to fight
their hardest for the winning score. With
one down in the tenth Wicherski tripled
but Schaefer struck out and the best
Burk could do was to roll one to the
pitcher. Excitement was high in the
last of the tenth. A. Walter was safe
on an error and went to third on Muffel-
mans single. Gutzke fouled out to
Kleinschmidt, Olson popped high one to
kuester and then Carlson smashed one
between first and second. Burk came
to the front with his high-diving act and
the danger was averted.
Neither team had another chance until
Kuester came up in the first of the
twelfth. He whaled one a mile away
and trotted around the bases with the
winning run. Gibbon, however, died
hard. With two downMuffe lehman singled
and stole second but Gutzke dumped
one in front of the plate and Klein
schmidt threw him out at first, ending
the game.
