GALS ONCE MORE
SAUK CENTRE SHUT OUT IN
ONE-SIDED GAME SUNDAY
BY JEWELLERS.
CASE OF Being OUT-CLASSED
MELROSE COMES NEXT SUNDAY
AND BETTER THINGS ARE
HOPED FOR.

Long Prairie handed it to Sank
Centre again in the same place, only
more so, in the base ball fasco pulled
off in the former town Sunday after
noon.
Graves, the elongated Indian pitch
ing from the south side, is a stingy
cuss, and let our so-called swat artists
down with three little measly old
singles, and one of them was very
much on the scratch order.
He fed them slow ones, fast ones,
high ones, low ones, straight and
and crooked, and some. of the Sank
Centre players backs are still lame
from their vain attempts to get the
ball out of the infield. Twelve of them
came up to the plate, whitfield three
times, and turned right around and
walked right back again."
AS a pitch artist this gink is in a
class by himself, as far as the Central
League is concerned, and if he will
take care of himself, he will make his
mark in real baseball some day.
Sank Centres lineup was twisted
all out of shape. Ole Arnestad and
young Lee were benched and Cap
Reed was sent into the right garden
and Tanner to short.
Sank Centre had nifty chance to
score in the third inning; Reed reach
ed first on a passed third strike, adj
vanced to second on a base on balls
to Tanner. Bradley lined out a nice
single, and in spite of all the coacher
could do Reed refused to try for home.
A moment later he was caught flat
footed off third on quick throw from
Graves to Garfield. Bingo! the chance
was gone. Weisner reached second
in the eighth by grace of his single
and cleverly stolen base. That was
all.
Long Prairie started off with rush
scoring three runs in the first on a
couple of hits and a bundle of errors
They earned another in the fifth. A
couple of walks, fielder's choice, and
brace of hits put four more over in
the sixth, and hit and the usual pair
of misplays were responsible for the
last one in the seventh.
The final score, oh, yes, nine to 0.
Horton, who had twirled a no-hit
game against Anoka, the Sunday pre-
vious, was on the rubber for Sank
Centre, and he is plenty fast enough
for this league, with support and little
hitting by his team mates. Geist, al
so of Mineaponlis, caught good
game.
Melrose comes to Sank Centre for
Sundays game. Horton will be on
the firing line again and it is quite
safe to say that the game will not be
as one-sided as have the last two
games with Long Prairie. Better
things are hoped for.
Returning to the game last Sunday
there were two bright spots in the
Sank Centre camp. In the sixth in
ming Koehler hit one mile minute
to deep center. Bradley and Hansen
both started at the crack of the bat.
They went down in heap, but Brad
ley came up smiling with the ball in
his mitt. In the next inning Koehler
hit a fast one through the pitchers
box and beyond second Tanner made
lightning pickup and nailed him at
first by a close shave. 1t was some
play.
The much-touted st. Cloud team
had a hard time defeating Osakis
Sunday, the final score being nine to
IL. Melrose with a new pitcher de-
feated Alexandria, 10 to two. At
present Sank Centre and Osakis are
tied for last place.
The following is the tabulated tale
of woe of the Long Prairie game:
