game at the air ITOuIluS last Oui
day must go down in local baseball
annals as one of the most weird ano
wonderful exhibitions of the national
pastime ever pulled off on local dla-
mond. Sank Centre was stopped In
its winning streak-9 to 5-but any
spectator who did not get his moneys
worth and yell and boot his throat
sore must be termed a quahOg. (Sec
dictionary
Also, if any spectator can think Vt
any situation in a ball game that was
not exhibited last Sunday, with the e<-
ception of triple play, a passed ball
OF a high foul caught by catcher
{freak play excepted of course) let
him stand up and make noise.
Here are among the things that
happened: Home run, triple, double,
single, double play, infield error, out
field error, sacrifice hit, batsman hit
by pitcher, stolen base, base on balls,
strikeout, wild pitch-and few bon
ers.
Captain Landing of the visitors
gave an interesting impersonation of
MrGraw and Evers combined, kicking
Oh everything from material of bats
to the style of the locals baserunning
when they romped around the dia-
mond.
Once he became so insistent in his

Umpire keenan, pulled his waterbury
and watched the minute hand tick
across three black lines on the dial be-
fore he went to his position. Alto
gether, it was a jolly entertaining
show.
Sank Centre lost because Roth had
an off day and didn't have a thing ON
the ball. He was wilder than March
hare, passing four men and in the
fourth inning hit the first three men
up. When he did get them over, the
pill must have looked as big as a bal
loon because the visitors knocked it
all over the lot, ringing up total of
ten safeties including a home run,
triple and three doubles. When Roth
went ballooning his teammates refused
TO desert him and scrambled into the
ascending basket with the twirler.
In fact the game wa the best iov
producer seen on the local grounds
this year. After long string of tight
pitchers battles, it was refreshing to
witness some real smuggling, base run
ming and liberal sprinkling of boners.
1t started off like a real ball game.
In the first frame Griffin whitfield,
Reed went out Jacobson to Bradley.
Landing got his first single but died
when Gray flew to Franta.
The locals opened up with a tallv.

Both teams accumulated one in the
fourth when Roth started on his bal

men up. Wollan, Moberg and George,
filling the bases with none out. Nor
ris singled, scoring Wollan. but Mo-
berg tripped and fell rounding third
and was out at the plate Cooper fan

For the locals Schwartz grounded
out Franta singled and was safe at
second in an attempt to steal on Land

hit hot liner to Griffin which he
dropped and scored Franta from Sec
end. Lee famed.
The real fireworks began in the
fifth. The visitors again went into the
lead by one lone tally but the locals
came back with trio of runs and the
game seemed cinched. Reed and Land
ing famed. Gray hit for three bases
over Wills head and scored when
