Herman Stars With Stick Driving
In Both of Virginia's Runs
With Two Dagger.
DAHLGREN AND WRIGHT
PITCH GREAT BALL
Cunningham, Candidate for Big
League, Heaves for Duluth
But Is Very Wild.
(By Sandy MacdOnald.)


In l0-inning argument that drag
ged through two hours OF play, Duluth
and Virginia tied up with two scores
each before a large week day crowd
yesterday afternoon at Oliver park.
The game was called after one extra
inning had been played. When Jumps
Landry announced, just before the
curtain went up, that George Cum
ningham would heave for the visitors
and Cyrus Dahlgren for the Diggerss,
the crowd applaued long and loud.
The greatest pitching battle Of the
season was in prospect and the fans
were all excitement. But cold water
was thrown on the quarrel in several
instances which greatly dampened the
ardor.
Landry Displeases.
It is usually poor craftsmanship to
jump the umpire for decisions which
he renders but Jack Landry, who held
the indicator in yesterdays battle did
not make a hit with the crowd. Sew
eral of his decisions were stoutly ques-
toned by the home players and one in
particular, when Couture trapped a
runner at first on throw from Dahl
gren, Couture seemed to have his man
by clean foot. This would have
made the third out. After that Du-
luth scored it's only two runs of the
contest. Of course Landry was closer
to the play than the fans and conse-
quently better able to Judge; but the
decision looked bad to the crowd and
they told him so very pointedly.
Cunningham Wild.
CUNNINGHAM. the prize finger of the
White Sox who was going to do ter
rible things to Virginia and who is
booked for a berth in one of the big
league clubs this fall, did not show
upper class calibre. He was wild as
colt in fly time and could not locate
the plate with compass. He walked
eight men, hit one and allowed five
hits, making a total of ID bases. The
boy has plenty of steam and is strong
as a house but he is long way from
being anything like finished pitcher.
Cyrus Dahlgren, who started the
game for Virginia and who was re-
lieved in the last of the fourth frame
to permit Farrell to hit for him when
there was one man on, did exception
ally we'll and the fans disliked to see
him retire. He was going great and
showed much of the old time form
that was his chief recommendation
for a position with the Cincinnati
Reds. Wright who succeeded Dahl
gren, was strong and steady all the
way, holding the White Sox runless
and with two little singles for six
rounds.
Herman Uses Cad.
Herman starred in the sticking de-
partment, getting two blows out of
two times up, one double, driving in
Virginians two runs. The other three
times at the plate he secured passes.
Duluth was first to score, register
ing two marks in the third inning.
After Cunningham was down, Brac-
kett reached first on an error by
Campbell and stole second. Croake
famed. Bond drew walk. While he
was on first Couture nipped him off
the bag but Umpire Landry called
him safe. Then Collins singled, scor-
ing Bracket. Ford got one station
blow and Bond scored. O'Brien was
an infield out.
Virginia tied matters up in the last
Of the sixth when Campbell walked
and Greisch reached first On an error
by Cunningham. Couture was an in
field out. Agnew famed. Farrell
was sent in to hit for Dahlgren and
drew a pass. Herman clouted the ball
against the left field boards for two
stations, scoring Campbell and Gre
