TRIBUNE SPORT COLUMN


Willmar played at Belgrade last
Sunday and won from that team by
score of s, to 3. The game was mark
ed by sensational playing on both
sides, with Willmar having little the
best of the argument. One big inning
was enough to bring victory to the To-
cal team. When the fifth inning OPP
ened Belgrade was leading by score
of to 0, but at the close of the round.
Willmar had safe lead, which they
held turnout. Art Lundquist was safe
on an error by the short stop to start
with, and Kiland singled to right field.
After Walt Lundquist famed, Sever
inson shot single to left, filling the
bases. With two strikes on him, Nc
Grew sent a line drive between right
and center, and before the ball was
returned, Mac was resting on third,
while three runners had scored. Billie
Williams then sent long fly to right
field and Mac scored what proved to
be the winning run. Just to make it
safe another was added in the sixth.
With two out, Art Lundquist started
it again, by getting life on Slocum's
error. He went to second on wild
pitch, and scored when Kiland sin
gled to left field. Kily stole second
but died there. Willmar threatened
to score several times, but the neces-
sary punch was lacking, except in the
fifth and sixth. With one down in
the first, McGrew singled to right
field and took second when Kreuger
threw wide to first, trying to catch
him. Williams flew to left and Kielty
famed but took first on a dropped
third strike. Buck was called out on
strikes. Bill Johnson opened the sec
ond with a clean hit to right but was
thrown out trying to steal. Bill Will
Jams led off with a safety in the 4th
but was forced by Buck. Things sure
looked good for Willmar TALES in the
seventh, but nothing doing. SEVERN

error, McGrew hunted and beat it out

and he was safe. Gray then raised a
little pop fly in front of the plate
which kelly dropped, and but for
some very sleepy work on the part OF
Slocum, might have resulted disas'
trously. However, instead of scoring
as no one covered home, he obliging
ly waited on third. Kreuger then sent
a long fly to Billie Williams for the
last out.
The Willmar bunch pulled several
sensational bits of fielding. Twice Bill
Johnson knocked down hard ground
ers and tossed to Buck, who covered
first. Once Severinson ran over be

getting his man at first. Again Buck
knocked down Skimland's hard drive
with his bare hand, and caught H
