The final game Of the local season
was played last Sunday afternoon, The
home team getting away with the bic
end Of q ten to six score. The game
was one Of free hitting, with numer
GUS errors on each side, but there were
enough good plays to keep the crowd
on edge. For five innings, It was q
see-saw affair, first one side leading
and then the other. ss
Luddie Glarum started the game fol
the Cops, but the going got pretty
rough late In the game, and he re-
tired at the end Of the sixth to give
81 city" Dretchko q chance. Lud' g
support was wretched, no less than
seven errors being made behind him
Buck pitched the entire game for
the locals and at no time was he
working particularly hard. The feat;
ure from the Willmar standpoint was
the terrific hitting OF Claude Cord:
hamer. In five trips to the plate, he
drove out a single, q double and home
run. The other two times he sent flies
to the outfield. His home run went
over the left fielder's head nearly over
to Jens Olson's tool house, and he was
home before the ball was returned to
the infield. It was the longest drive
made on these grounds in years.
The crowd was the largest Of the
season, and seemed to enjoy the game
all the way through.
