TIGHT CONTEST.

"Habnk "Dahms and big Bill Pfeif-
fer are the headliners in New Ulm's hero
display this week for. they won the game
for New Ulm from the Chicago Union
Giants here Monday with their long
smashes to the outer gardens, the final
score being 2 to l. Dahms smote his
circuit clout in the fifth inning, tieing the
score and Pfeiffer picked his with a
runner on first in the last of the ninth,
winning the game. The fact that there
was runner on first when the blow came
was hard luck for ''Bill'', because it robs
him of the credit for home run, but no
body minded that little item, for it won
the game and that was enuf.
Pat Conway was in wonderful form and
held the tourists at bay with remarkable
ease. His hook fooled the opposing
batters time and again and his fast one
had the old zip to it. The Union Giants
collected seven hits off his delivery, but
were able to bunch them in only one
inning, the fifth, when two clean drives
and scratch hit with the aid of '.boner''
by Burk gave the visitors their only score.
Thirteen of the travellers took their three
little swings and strolled back to the
bench, for Pat was crossing them all the
time.
Norman was on the mound for the
Chicago team and twirled great ball
except for the two he slipped to Dahms
and Pfeiffer. In only one inning, the
sixth, did he allow more than one hit and
his support saved him from damage in
that instance. He struck out an even
dozen of the Athletics and neither Con-
way nor Norman gave a base on balls
or hit batsman.
Only three errors were made during the
entire game, Burk getting, two of them
and young Peters, the Union Giant short
stop, fooled one in the ninth. The one
by Peters and Burk's first misplay were
extremely costly, as each of them re-
suited in a run. Both of these players,
however, made several brilliant plays to
offset the hobbies. Turner, playing first
base for the visitors, speared the ball with
one hand several times and saved the day
for his team. The Athletics made
number of difficult plays in the field and
performed with a snap and vim that
pleased the fans.
Both teams had slight opening in the
first frame but both Conway and Nor
man sat down on the lid and prevented
any scoring. Conway struck out Turner
and Buckner, the first two men to face
him and then Davis whanged the pill
into the ravine for two bases, but the best
McNar could do was to roll one to the
pitchers box and Pat threw him out at
first. Cordes began the New Ulm half
of the inning with clean drive to right
for base. H. Williams made two at
tempts to hunt and then poked the ball
towards Francis,who tossed the sphere
to first ahead Of him, Cordes taking
second on the out. "Chick" Williams
sacrifice advanced him base. Pfeiffer
hit a grounder over the middle cushion
but Peters pulled off a little fast foot
work and Pfeiffer was out, Peters to
Turner.
Two srtikeouts and roller to Cordes
was the extent of the colored teams
endeavors in the second inning, but
Friedl led off with crash to center for
New Ulm. Burk popped up a high one
to Peters and Hodgins forced Friedl at
second. Dahms ended the inning by
rolling one to Francis. Conway famed
three men in the third and Norman came
right back and pulled the same stunt.
With two down in the fourth MeNar
poked a single to right and stole second,
but Ramsey slammed one at Pat and
was thrown out, Conway to Burk.
"Chick" Williams began the last of the
fourth with a single to right and stole
second as Pfeiffer famed. Friedl struck
out and Williams tried to pull a delayed
steal Of third, but was nipped, Coleman
to Norman to Buckner.
!. Both teams counted one in the fifth.
With Coleman in the shade Peters raped
a single to center and Francis poked
a scratch hit past first, sending Peters to
second. Norman forced Peters at third,
Conway to Cordes, and Skinny tried
for the double play to first but was too
late. Francis ran over third on the play
and Burk foolishly tried to nip him off the
