The ball game with Morris schOd-
uled for last Sunday was called off on
account Of the heavy downfall of rain
Saturday night. The diamond was in
fair shape for game, but the outtield
was covered with water. An effort was
made to secure either Kandiyohi or
Spicer to fill in the date, but neither
team could come.
Lefty" Henry, former Minneapolis
Central High School pitching star who
is working for Hutchinson this sea-
son, performed the almost unheard Of
feat last week of striking out IA Of the
first 1S men who faced him in the
Hutchinson-Cokato game. He was
forced to retire in the seventh inning,
and his team lost by score Of 2 to
/.
The Gophers lost their first game Of
the season last Sunday when they
were beaten by Tripolis, 13 to 8. For
six innings the game was tight one,
the score being to 8, but in the sew
enth the Tripolis bunch found their
batting eyes and hammered out five
runs, giving them a safe lead. Walt
Lundquist and Walt Conway pitched
for the Gophers.

Kerkhoven and Benson played a fast
game at Kerk last Sunday afternoon,
Benson winning out by score of l

ing for the winners allowed four hits,

When the Cokato base ball team
plays in this city this summer, if
games can be arranged, local fans will
have chance to see one Of the fast
est punches in this section. Bobby
Marshall, one of the greatest athletes
Minnesota ever turned out, is catch
ing for them, AL Dretchko, who pitch
ed several years at the U. and then
at different places around the state,
is holding down first base. Rube Pen
nington, captain of this years Uni
versity team, is playing the outfeld
and doing a share of the pitching.
Then. they have the redoubtable
Schneiderhan, who was found for
twenty bingles by last years Willmar
bunch, and several others of last sea-
sons team.

The South End team took a double
fall out of the Unionville Sluggers last
Sunday, on the latter's grounds. The
scores were Is to 9 and II to 1. Carl
Howell and Kiff Johnson pitched fol
the winners in the first game, while
Milt Berg pitched for the Sluggers
The second game was five inning af
fair, with Art Lundquist and Orlean
Christian doing the pitching for the
two teams. Pat Persen got a home
run and Art Lundquist three base
hit, while Guy Arvig featured for the
losers with three Dagger with the
bases full.
Arrangements have been completed
for series of two games with the fast
Herman team, for the fourth and fifth
of July. Both games will be played
here and from all reports received ol
the Herman bunch, Willmar will have
both hands full in winning these con
tests.
The visitors are managed this veal
by E. M. Chesebrough, formerly o1
this city, and in commenting on his
team, he says in part: Erred Jensser
will pitch one game for us and Lava
or Linden the second. All are goot
pitchers, which means good games
Jensen is our star left handler, will
lots of smoke, so have the boys ge
bats without holes in them, as the!
will be needed. Herman has fint
team this year, and they have as ye,
not lost a game"
From this it can be seen that tn,
locals will be up against something
pretty good, in these games, and fan
are assured of contests worth watch
ing.
!. Buck Johnson will pitch the Sunda,
, game, and it wouldn't be at all SUI
/ prising if he went right back again OF
Monday, if he gets away in good shap
. in the opener. If he don't feel lik
tackling the job some one else will
endeavor to do so.
The admission for these games viii
be the same as usual, Is cents, wit
no increase for grand stand seats
The Sunday game will be called at
o'clock, and the one on Monday a
