eating out of his hands until the
eighth. In the second inning Decor
all scored four times, once in the
third and twice in the fourth, and
it looked as if the game was tied
up tighter than a drum. But as We
said before looks are deceiving, and
so it proved in this instance.
In the second Bernatz was first
up and got base on balls; McGree-
vey, whitfield. Rima grounded to
third and Luce juggled it, BernatZ
taking second and Rima was safe
at first. Ryggs hit short one to
third and Luce threw wild to first,
letting Bernatz score and Rima take
third Croft went out on the strike
out route, when Shea came up and
hit a short fly over second. Garzee
made a run for it and politely
dropped it, with the result that Rima
and Riggs trotted home. Dotsetn
appeared in the arena next and lin
ed one out between first and sec
ond, scoring Manager Shea from
first. "Homerun" Bidne poled a
long fly to center for an out, which
ended that session.
In the second, third and fourth,
Waucoma went out one, two, three.
So did their star pitcher, Bedding,
and Garzee took his place.
In Decorah's third they counted
once more. Hustvedt was first up
and went out on fly to center;
Bernatz followed him by striking
out; McGreevey got hit, taking first.
Rima singled to left, scoring Nc
Greevey. Riggs hit to Garzee at
short and his throw to first was low
and Burnside dropped 1t and Ryggs
was safe Croft was next up and
flied out to third, Rima and Riggs
succumbing on third and second.
In the fourth DEBORAH counted
twice Shea lined one out to right,
which Willis dropped. Dotseth poll
ed a safe high fly between center
and right, Shea taking third, and
was brought home a moment later
by Bidne's fly to left field, and Dot
seth took third. Bidne pilfered
second, making pretty slide under
Garzee. Hustvedt cut the air for
three strikes and then Bernatz flied
out to left McGreevey got a base
on balls, and a moment later Dor
seth scored on a passed ball. Nc
Greevey was caught pilfering sec

In Waucoma's fifth Lynch
grounded one down towards first,
and Bidne couldn't get back to the
base in time to catch him. Willis
struck out. Burnside got hit, taking
first, advancing Lynch to second,
who scored on B. Belongs long
drive to left. Garzee hit a high fly
in front of the home plate, Shea and
Bernatz going after it; the latter
gobbled it up, Rima covered third
and Burnside was doubled, and the
only damage done that inning was
one score.
In the eighth the comedy of err
rors was staged and the locals show
ed they were some comedians, as
they dropped everything that came
their way and Waucoma counted
four times tying up the score.

one through Rima and Burnside
scored. Knight hit to Rima for an
out at first. The score was tied in
this inning.
DEBORAH came back in their half
of the eighth and put one more
score across. Dotseth got base on
balls, and got caught moment lat
er trying to steal second right in
broad day light. There was no body
out and he should at least have wait

the other way, to make it a little
darker. Bdne hit hot one to
short, who threw it through first,
Bidne taking second. Hustvedt hit
TO third and he fumbled it, letting
Hustvedt safe and Bidne taking
third. Bernatz got pass and the
bases were filled. McGreevey was up
