Season on Local Diamond. Snappy
Fielding and Base Stealing Features
OF Game BY Both Teams.
By 7. W. L.

had the pleasure of witnessing the
home team hand regular solar
plexus blow TO the Hudson, Wis.
nine on the home diamond. The
final score was eight to fourteen and
the M.S.P. had another turn at the
bat coming to them had it been
necessary.
Both teams got their runs in
lunches, as it were. and the long
end of the visitors tally was due to
errors by the locals. while the vic.
tors secured most of their runs by
hard, consistent playing.
Hudson was at great disadvan.
tage as their were number OF
their men who were unable to &C.
company the team. their places be-
ing filled by players from the var
ious. local outside teams of Still
water, and while the visitors put up
a very creditable game. it was by
no means what it would have been
had their team been intact. Hud-
son, however, is a good bunch of
true sports and took their defeat in
good-humored, gentlemanly spirit
that won them many friends, as they
will discover when their next appear
aDce here comes around.
The home team not only had the
class but the spirit as well. The
lineup was the same as at the pre-
vious game with the exception of
third base. Red being replaced by
Lovely; the later covered the sack
in most satisfactory manner and
it would be hard indeed to make
any change for the better on the
present lineup. Johnny at short,
and Harry at second, were on the
job at all times. Carl at first is do
ing splendid work, not only on the
sack but at the plate as well. Berg
lie, Pat, and Saxo, in the garden,
take good care of everything that
comes their way. Van and Laff,
Saturdays battery. work splendidly
together. While Van allowed the
visitors to get fourteen hits, he
walked none, aud struck out ten
and pitched the whole nine innings
himself, finishing in splendid form.
Laff got his finger pretty badly
smashed during the fight of the
eighth, necessitating a change of
positions with Saxo from center
field.
Keck. as an umpire is hard to
beat and it is about time the fans
awoke to the fact. Simply because
his decisions are not in accordance
with your own and happen to be
against the home team, don't roast
the umqire. It's not sportsman-like,
fair to the umpire, nor does it ben
eft the game any. Keck is as square
an umpire as ever ruled diamond,
and it is time some of the fans here
abouts realized this.
Weather conditions were ideal
and there was large attendance of
fans in from the outside in addition
to the regular quota of inmates.
The press was we'll represented. Mr..
Easton, editor of the Saltwater Ga
zette, occupied position on the
visitors bench while the editor of
the Mirror held similar seat with
the home team.
In the first, Anderson made safe
bunt. Ferline drove a grounder. to
right for a single. Hallenburger
famed. Gilbertson singled to right
but the ball was fielded in quick or
der to the plate catching Anderson
as he tried to score. Sandburg made
q nice bunt for first and Ferline
scored. Stone raised long high
one to left but only got single
however. both the men on bases
came home. Gordon followed with
