NORTHWESTERN VS.. CARROLL WATERFOWL HIGH VS.. HORIZON

The opening game, although one
week late, was played here Sunday
when the Goslings lined up against
the strong Greek aggregation and it
was sure some opening.
The home boys played some regular
baseboll, but it took them seventeen in
nings to crumple the Buttermakers
to g.
There was the usual opening pro-
gram. The band appeared on Main
street about 1:30 and marched to the
park, followed by a large crowd of
fans, reaching the grounds shortly
after 200 o'clock Then to start the
bail rolling, just before the fray,
Mayor Mulberger curved the first ball
over the plate.
Although Kohl brought in the win
ming run without the assistance of
anyone, we must remember that there
were eight more members on the team
who were not standing around picking
their teeth, for the way they handled
themselves was a pleasing sight to
the large crowd of spectators pres
ent.
Among the other eight Henke's
name must not be overlooked, as he
took care of the delivering end of the
game for thirteen innings. He was
replaced by Hess in the sixth, but
went back on the mound in the tenth,
and finished the game.
Another feature of the game was a
throw made in the fifteenth by Briel-
maier in right field to Stumpf at home
plate. By this peg the game was
saved in that inning, as Koefert was
put out at home.
The game started with the Goslings
in the field, with Henke and Stumpf
the battery. There were no runs
made in the opening by either side,
two men being famed by Henke and
one by Moore.
The first half of the second inning
was much like the first for the Greek
for they were unable to score. The
Goslings, however, started to pile up
the scores Henke the first man up
hoisted a drive to the south fence that
put him on third with ease. Hess
walked, and went to second on
pitched ball Koenig struck out Kohl
next on deck, drove a hot grounder to
the infield and was thrown out al
first, but by the time this work was
done Henke and Hess had scored.
In the third the visitors secured one
run. Kiepert, the first man up, was
hit by a pitched ball, and Woelffer
run in his place, he stole second and
went to third on a widl pitch. Drews
struck out Fischer batting for
Moore drove one into short left and
scored Woelffer E. label, struck out,
and Fischer was caught off first. Two
more runs were also piled up by the
Goslings in the third. Nowack walked
Brielmaier sacrificed, and was thrown
out at first, Nowack going to second
Bueckler laced out two Dagger, and
scored Nowack. Stumpf singled, ad-
vancing Bueckler. Henke as thrown
out at first on a ielder's choice
Bueckler scoring. Hess was put out at
first.
Everybody was neutral in the
fourth. but in the fifth inning both
teams piled up two runs. Schuman
walked kiepert picked off a three
base drive, scoring Schuman. Drews
flew out to Brielmaier, but Kiepert
scored before the ball reached home
Crousch, who replaced Moore, on the
mound, struck out. E. label was
thrown out at first.
This brought the enemy too neal
home for the city team so they piled
up two more runs. Nowack struck
out. Brielmaier drove single into
left field. Bueckler connected for a
circuit of three bags, scoring Briel-
marie, and came in on passed ball
at home Stumpf struck out. Henke
got two Dagger. Hess struck out.
In the sixth Hess was put in the
box to replace Henke. In this inning
the visitors added two more runs to
their list. Koefert was thrown out at
first. Woelffer out at first Bahr
picked off a single and F. label a two
base drive, placing Bahr on third
Schuman laid one out in right field
that scored Bahr and label, but he was
thrown out at second
There was nothing doing for our
boys in their half of the sixth. al
though there were two on basis with
none out. The score at the end of the
sixth was to in favor of the home
team.
During the seventh and eighth in
nings there were no runs made by
either team, as both pitchers were
working hard and retired the clouters
in one, two, three order. 1t will be
noticed that our lucky seventh failed
us.
The ninth was the inning that put
the tie in baseball, for in that inning
