FOUL TIP INJURIES HODGINS IN
THIRD HURTING NEW ULM
CHANCES.
GAME CALLED ON ACCOUNT OF
DARKNESS WITH SCORE
3TO1.

1t is hard luck to lose ball game
because of an injury to one of the
players, but that is what happened to the
Athletics here Monday in the first New
Ulm-Luverne game, the visitors winning
by a 8 to score. The game was called
on account of darkness at the end of
the seventh. It was in the first of the
third inning when foul tip hurt Herb"
Hodgins' hand. He gamely returned
to the fray, but he could not throw
and finally retired in the seventh. Luverne
took advantage of Hodgins' inability
to throw in the sixth round and scored
their first run. tieing the count.
Earl Morse was in the box for New
Ulm and twirled fine ball, allowing the
invaders only three hits and tanning
eleven in the seven innings. The Luz
verne team could do nothing with him
until the seventh when single and a
near home run scored the winning runs.
Cordes made the most sensational play
of the day in the fifth frame when he
went to the stands for a pop foul and
pinched the ball with his gloved hand
while on dead run
Maloney twirled for the Luverne
club and the Athletics could only find
him in the first inning. They cleaned
six hits off him in the seven innings,
three of them coming in the opening
round. He did not seem to have very
much, but the locals tried to kill his
slow curve and either popped them in
the air or bounced them to the infelders.
The Luverne team was retired in
order in the first, two strikeouts and
fly to right doing the business. With
two down in the home half of the inning
"Chick" Williams singled and went
to third on Pfeiffer's one base blow to
right. They started a double steal
and "Chick' scored, but Pfeiffer had
to 60 back to first. Morse doubled
over Sheehan's head in right, sending
Pfeiher to third. Dahms rolled to
Coffee for the final out
A walk to w. Novak with one down
in the second gave the Luverne men
chance to try out Hodgins wing. Herb
and Chick got him pilfering the key
stone corner by safe margin. Cordes
singled to start the locals half of the
third and Lindemann ran for him
because skinny" has sore toe. Linde-
mann went to second on H. Williams
sacrifice and took third when G. Will
liams went out, Coffee to F. Novak.
Pfeifer's fly was smothered by Roy at
third.
Dresser singled to start the third,
getting the first hit off Morse. Mathews
sacrificed him to second but Morse
struck out both Maloney and Roy.
It was a foul tip off Roy's bat that in
jured Hodgins, who was laid out for five
or ten minutes by the blow. With
two down in the fourth Hodgins laid
down a pretty bunt and easily beat it
out, taking second on Maloney's wild
peg to first. Burk rolled one to Weidel
for the third out.
| New Ulm had another chance to
score in the last of the fifth when Han
Ina" Williams drew pass with two down
and stole the middle cushion, going
to third on Mathews wild heave to
second. Chick Williams smashed one
towards to second and was out, Coffee
to F. Novak. With two gone in the first
Of the sixth Roy was given a pass to first
and since Hodgins could not throw, he
stole both second and third. He started
for home when Morse let loose wide
one and scored. Had it not been for
Hodgins' sore hand he would undoubted-
lily have stopped the ball and no run
would have been scored. Coffee poked
one to Chick" for the third out.
