VICTORY OF M.SP.'S
OVER THE STARKELS
A Holly Contested Ten-Inning Game Of
The N. S. P. VS.. StarkeIs Results Ia
Bringing Home the Bacon TO the
Camp Of Prison Nine.
By the Official Scors-Keepsr T.W.L.

With ideal weather. lawns packed
with eager and exrectant fans, both
resident and visiting, and the prison
band playing Tipperary. the Still
water Starkles and the M.S.P. base
ball mines met on the local diamond
last Saturday in their second con-
flict of the season. There was much
speculation on this game as in their
former meeting the game was con-
tested to the very last and knowing
the caliber of the visitors manager
we knew the home team would have
to not only play good ball. but con-
sistantly. to hope for a victory.
Our guess proved to be good one.
for it was only by timely and bunch
ed hits in the tenth that the laurels
were awarded. to the M.S.P.
The visitors had only five of their
original team on their lineup last
Saturday and many of their changes
were for the better. But McClel-
lan's services in the hoY were sadly
missed for altho Rivard pitched a
fair game he is a much superior
fielder than twirler. Dutch" Gov
er. formerly right.tielder for Oak
Park-and general favorite with
tie fans-is holding down a like
position with the Starkels new line
up. Another new man on the Star
kels, who was by no means strang-
er here, was Dugan, formerly with
the Cellar Colts.
The visitors put up stiff game
but their hits were pretty we'll scat
tered except on one or two occa-
SONS, one of these being in the
tenth, but in this inning luck was
against them as all their bingles
were to the infield and consequent
ly two of their men who were en-
abled to get a place on the initial
sack were later forced out. one at
third and the last at second.
The home team put up splendid
game and fully deserve the victory
gained. Grum, opened the game in
the box, but at the end of the second
inning was replaced by Red. Grunl.

some pretty balls but last Saturday
he had very poor control; however.
there is NO reason why he should
not be in form towards the end of
the season and we are assured of
his services to open 1916 with next
spring. Reds delivery was good
and he finished strong. The infeld-
ers put up a splendid game and
their team work is nearing perfec-
ton. Lovely at third is sight for
sore eyes, he ia covering the posi-
tion as it has not been covered be-
fore in the teams history. The men
in the garden did good work, the
only error in this section falling to
Saxo in the seventh, but the sun
was largely responslble for his lack
of judgment.
1t is strange coincidence, but on
two previous occasions Laff has
