Saturday and Sunday games here and
trimmed them to a fare-thee-well. Satur-
days game was a slaughter, the final
score being II to in New Ulm's favor,
while in the Sunday game the visitors
were handed 4 to 0 whitewash.
Jimmy Pullman was the goat in
the first contest for his wildness was very
costly for Springfield. The New Ulm
boys took every advantage to count and
managed to produce the base hits when
they were needed the most. In the very
first inning New Ulm registered two
scores, enuf to win the game. Cordes
walked, but "Limmy'' caught him off
first. Then Pullman walked H.
Williams and "Chick'' and clever
double steal put them on second and
third. Morse then came to the front
with solid swat for two bags and the
first two trickled over the pan.
The big blow up, however, came in the
third. Thirteen Brewers took their turn
at the plate in this wild inning and nine
of them managed to patter over the plate
Three walks, an error, a couple of felder's
choices, sacrifice hit, and singles by
Pfeiffer, Donahey, Cordes and Morse did
the damage. In this inning C. Williams
was hit once and walked the other time
and he went all the way round both
times.
Outside of these two frames 'Limmy"
had the boys fairly we'll in hand, and pre-
vented further scoring. In the fifth,
however, they threatened when H.
Williams singled with one down. C.
Williams hit one for a pair of sacks,
Morse forced Hanna" and Pfeiffer
whitfield. The Brewers became danger
Gus again in the, seventh. Dahms was
safe on Smasal's error and was sacrificed
to second by Cordes. H. Williams
walked, but C. Williams hit into double
play, Shourds to Pietsch to Smasal.
The twirling of one Morse was much
too much for the Springfield sluggers
and the local lads gave him brilliant sup
port. Boelter's single in the second after
two were gone and Cordes' error on
SMASH gave them an opening, but Morse
extricated himself neatly by tanning
Schultz. Johnson opened the fourth
with single. Shourds struck out, but
Boelter smashed out another bingle.
Things looked dangerous with only one
out, but Morse was again equal to the
occasion and whitfield Smasal and Schultz.
After johnson had grounded to short
in the sixth, Shourds belted double and
stole third, from whence he scored on
Smasal's out, giving Springfield their
lonely score.
Pat Conway's clever, consistent twill
ing had Springfield safe thruout the Sun
day contest, and a little timely clouting
by the Brewers in the opening inning gave
New Ulm enuf scores to win the game
Another marker in the fourth frame
made the score to 0 for New Ulm.
The game was decided in the first in
ming for when Conway set the first three
Springfield sluggers down on the three
swing apiece everybody settled back to
watch pitching duel. as it was thot that
New Ulm would again have trouble solv-
ing Shourd's slants. Shourds is the
pitcher who handed the Brewers their
only shutout of the season some time ago
and Springfield counted on him to repeat.
The local boys were bent on getting
revenge, and they did. In the first in
nlng the local clubswingers slambanged
away and three runs were across the plate
before Shourds settled down. Cordes
opened with a neat single to right but
was forced by Hanna. Then johnson
caught Hanna" off first but he easily
arrived safe at second when Appel
muffed the throw. C. Williams strolled
on four wide ones and Hodgins' infield hit
choked the pathways. H. Williams scored
on Ptelffer's hit to short. Then Burk let
60 drive to center and two more Brewers
hustled across the plate. Pfeiffer was
run down going to third and Lindemann
flew out to Boelter.
New Ulm did not have another omen
ing until the fourth. Pfeiffer then
began the home half with terrific smash
which almost decapitated Cady. After
Burk whitfield, he stole second wont -
third on Lindemann's out, and scored on
SmasaPs wild peg to third.
The Brewers had only two other
chances to count and little tough luck
helped Springfield in those instances. G.
Williams, first up in the sixth, dronned
single in center. Hodgins smashed one
squarely, but Shourds flung out his gloved
hand and the pill stuck. Then he trotted
over to first to complete the double plav.
The other chance came in the eighth
