Wood led for the M. S. P. in their
half of the second by meeting the
first one to cross the plate and 60
ing to second and stole third on
the first ball pitched to Bergie, the
next batter up, who in turn put over
a nice bunt that enabled him to
reach first, but Wood was tagged at
the plate. Will, the next man up
hammered out fine double, scoring
Bergle and was enabled to come
home on Laff's two sacker. Atty,
however, only rolled out a grounder
and failed to beat the ball to first
and Lovely in his turn up proved an
easy mark for the visiting boxman-
4 hits . runs.
The third inning opened with
Cover at the bat for the visitors Git
might be we'll to mention here for
the benefit of the fans that Mr..
Cover is their redoubtable friend
Dutch"). After having 3-2called
on him he met the next one square
on the nose and reached second bag
by good margin. Law and Fore
lea, the next two men up, were un-
able to find Atty's delivery and
were retired in short order via the
l-2-3 breeze rout. Byers. however
the next man at the plate, singled
off the first offering, scoring Dutch
whom in the meanwhile had beat
his way up to the third bag. Byers,
unfortunately has the habit of TAX
ing a nap on first base or rather just
off the base and that is precisely
what he did and was tagged before
he awoke to what was being pulled
off. 2 hits i run.
The local team failed to dc any,
thing in their half of the inning.
Fanny, the first man up, clipped
out safe single, but tried to steal
second and found he had made a
mistake. being tagged by Forciea
at the base. Harry and Saxo were
again both retired by their inability
TO guess Stahl. 1 hit 20 runs.
In the fourth the visitors again
added one more. playing every hit
for all it was worth. as they did
through out the game. Carter led
off this time and received the first
of the two free passes of the game
and, strange as it may seem, he
annexed the only other walk hand
ed out by the M. S. P. in the eleven
tn. Berger next up was unable to
Judge Atty's delivery and was
quickly retired being replaced at
the plate by Barstrow. a patient
waiter at all times and with fond
ness for rather. low pitched balls.
Well, he got what he wanted, made
splendid drive that should have
carried him to second easily but
only took first. However, he scor-
ed the runner and got his next base
on a balk. but he was to anxious to
get ahead and a minute later was
tagged trying to slip one over on
Bergie at third. Underwood, the
next man up, was again famed.
l hit Il run.
The home team in their turn up
made a good start, but the boys were
too anxious to get on the tally board
and can certainly credit a good part
of their inability to score on this one
point alone; misplaced zealousness
in base stealing during the forepart
of the game. Wood led off and
raped out a nice single but un-
fortunately tried to squeeze double
out of it and was met with a return
ticket to the bench at the second.
