team of practically unbeatable bal
} players, with grit 10 burn, and who
/ looked like pure gold. bnt Satur-
, days contest changed it all for the y
we're not only beaten. but actually
showed under. And all for the lack
of grit.
i The Cellar Colts came stronger
than ever in the way of lineup,
and they were determined to win if
possible. Yet with their new players,
and they were professionals at that,
they hadn'ta a chance in the world
with the home team so long as our
boys put up fight.
The locals started off by coping
a tally and lead of four in the first
and added one more in the second,
with the visitors unheard from.
Then in the third Hans made an
error that let in one run and this
was made into three before the M.
S. P. settled back into their stride.
Two errors in the fourth by Hans
tied the score but our boys picked
up lead of three in their turn up
in this inning.
In the fifth, Hans was benched,
being replaced by Lovely. Ray COM
ing from right field to cover the
latters position on third. while Pat
filled the corner in the field. From
then to the seventh, no scores were
made, but in this inning the visitors
got score when Ray made an
error that shook up the team, and
the Colts scored twice before the
locals got back to action. In their
turn they got one tally. giving them
lead of two. Neither side made
any head way in the eighth and our
bat-boy thought it was over, for he
began collecting the bats. But our
troubles were just to begin. Lovely
fumbled the first Offering given him.
Ray repeated with three men on,
and then Red pulled BONE"
And after Ray and Lovely had each
made another blunder we found
that instead of winning by two runs,
we had lost by just seven runs. For
when the dust had settled we found
that the visitors had added just
nine runs in the ninth. Keck's
umpiring was anything but satis-
factory, his main mistakes were ON
base running, where a number of
his decisions were simply rank.
The batting summary shows that
Mcclellan struck out Z, issued S
passes on balls, hit l and allowed IL
safe. hits. While Red. struck out 8,
issued 4 passes on balls and allowed
IA safe hits, Z of them being given
in the ninth. It shows how poor
support upsets an otherwise good
player. Ten errors are some handi-
cap to overcome.
