The evening herald. (Klamath Falls, Or.) 1906-1942, 1915-05-31
Boxmakers Win Good
Game in the Tenth

won second victory over Tindall's
klamath Falls aggregation yesterday
in the tenth inning of a remarkably
fast. clean game. one of the kind a
fellow expects to see played when he
digs up an admission to " Coast
League grandstand. The final score
was to 4, and the game was any
body's until Wiley sacrificed in the
tenth. scoring winders.
There were many pleasant features
about yesterdays game. which should
insure better attendance hereafter.
Not the least of these was an utter
absence of wrangling and rowdyism.
Owing to there being no flags on the
foul lines, Umpire Jones. who was
new on Modoc Park diamond. called
Bowden's drive over right field fence
a foul. when it appeared to be a good
clean hit, and he also surprised the
crowd by calling Pages single into
left in the third inning foul. How
without a row, and the crowd also
felt that his jumps was doing his best.
There were errors yesterday, but
not many; just enough to remind us
that the players were in the game for
the love of the sport, not for sal
aries. The majority of the errors can
be ascribed to the condition of the
diamond. which is still in such shape
that it's hard 10 tell where grounder
will bounce to next And again.
Gentle Reader. if these boys were In
the errOrless class. they would be
drawing down princeiy salaries in the
big leagues. not playing Sunday ball
in klamath Falls for the fun of it.
Semens struck out eleven men and |
allowed four hits. Hickox, though !
hit for four singles, pitched n good
game until relieved in the fifth by 1
Hardenbrook, and Hardy started /
matters by hitting Bowden, Winders
and Herbige, the first three men up.
With the bases filed. he famed
Thresher, and started a double play
which caught Bowden at the plate
and Arnold at first.
In the first, after Bowden had
slammed one over right field fence.
which was called foul, he was issued
a base on balls and stole second. went
to third when Zumbrum ovsrthrew
first trying to get Winder's, and
scored on Herbig's single. Bowden
brought in his second run in the third
inning, when he singled, went to sec
ond on Pages error, took third when
Hickox delayed in throwing Winders
out at first. and he scored when Mot
schenbacher threw to second to catch
Winders.
Two runs were annexed by the Box
makers in the fourth. Thresher was
retired by a grounder to Hickox, Otto
smashed out double, went to
third on Houston's single, and scored
on sacrifice hit by Claire Arnold.
BY this time Houston was perched on
third. and the little outfielder proved
himself a lumberman by doing some
tallying on Siemen's grounder, which
Dale juggled second too long.
All of klamath Falls runs were
made in the sixth. Zumbrum started
.hings by single to deep center, Dale
was hit by Siemens, and stole second
when Zumbrum purloined third, and
he two came galloping over the plate I
when Motschenbacher slammed a sim I
gle to the right field fence. Motschen-
1acher was retired at second when
ierbige. retrieving AmbrOse's s
srounder, threw to Kelly, allowing
Ambrose to reach first. Kieth's stop
It the initial sack was brief, as Hay
len slammed a two-sacker to the
light field fence. and scored Ambrose. .
After Maurer went out on strikes, q
'age hit grOunder that went
through Herbig's hands and feet, and
hayden brought in Klamath's last
ally before the ball could be put into
'lay again. d
In the ninth, Thresher, who had
'layed without chest protector, was
ut near the heart by swift ball, and /
vas knocked unconscious. He rallied
ufficiently to finish the inning, and
vas roundly cheered for his game
ess. Wiley caught the final inning.
The winning run was scored by
who was hit for the second
Ime. He went to second when Har-
walked Herbig. Hilton 3
oked out long one. but Hayden
