The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1914-06-25
GREAT GAME WAS
PLAYED MONDAY
The Band Beats the Mirror in a
Well Played and Exciting
Contest. Many Brilliant Plays
are Features of the Game.

we nave met the enemy and we are theirs.
BY score of 7 to the wind TANNERS of
the the band carried off the bacon and the
Mirror is the goat-and thereon hangs tale.
1t was dandy game, full of thrills and
many really creditable plays and not as
many errors as might have been expected
under the circumstances. In fact, every
body enjoyed it; and it was the general
opinion that less exciting games have often
been seen on big league fields.
From beginning to end the excitement
was intense, for at no time did the contest
look one sided excepting in the second in
ming when the band BOYS piled I'D three
runs. which increased their lead to E to 2,
but at this point the printers settled down to
real ball playing and held the musicians
down to one single unearned run for the
rest of the game while they piled up four
more.
| Eight and half innings were played, the
Mirror team being at the bat with
two men on bases and two out when the
whistle blew and put an end to the contest.
Just what the result would have been had
the game proceeded to the end is hard TO
say, but be that as it may, the laurel wreath
rests upon the brows of the band BOYS and
they are entitled to it.
The game started promptly at 1885, and
the musicians started the first inning with
whirlwind. Wilson singled, Fish got first
on Ems error, Bell singled and the three
came home on Jennings flv to deep right
Jennings was put out on his fly and
Grenelli and Winters went out at first.
| Kal of the Mirror team was first at
the bat. He was hit by pitched ball and
scored on Babb's long safe drive. Silent
Bill struck out, Big Chief Coteau doubled
bringing in Babb and Vosberg and 0 Dom
nell went out.
In the second and third innings the
| Mirrors were retired in one, two three
order, while the band boys made thee in
| the second and one in the third The
Mirrors made two in the fourth and dupl-
Gated the trick again in the fifth inning,
while the wind TANNERS were held scoreless
for the rest of the game.
In the first half of the ninth, the band
boys got mixed in their batting order.
Smith was running for Grenelli and Con-
way batted ahead of his turn bringing in
Winters. Owing to this error, even if the
game had proceeded to the end, and this
! score had been required to win the game
for the victors, it would not have counted.
We mention this merely as warning to
contesting clubs in future to be careful in
having the batters follow in regular order.
The ninth inning for neither team counts
owing to the unfinished portion of the last
half.
The Score
l 2 A 5 E IS X. H. E.
Mirrors 2OO2 1000 E s 6.
Band & o. 100 900 7 10 S.
There were many brilliant plays made
during the contest in which both teams
figured evenly. Coteau, the Mirror S
big chief, stood out pre-eminent above the
rest, showing that he had not forgotten his
training at the Indian school. His batting
was terrific and his fielding gitIedged. Con-
way of the B. & O's played first like vet
eran and his batting had much to do with
the piling up of that teams score. The
pitchers were well matched, while the catch
ing of Wilson was marvellous, while Vas
berg was not behind him. Babb again
demonstrated his ability to swat the sphere
and played second in fine style.
Kal and Ems gave way in the second in
ming to Smites and Dougherty both of
whom gave good account of themselves.
There will probably be another contest
between these two teams at some future date.
