ninth inning rally that Ortonville
put the local team at the small
end Of the score, even though
they were able to score in both
the eighth and ninth innings.
The fual score was 4 to 8. The
most spectacular play made in
the game was a triple play start
ed by Ed Bagdons in left field.
He pulled down a fly that looked
like a safe hit, threw to second,
and Otto Bagdons then threw to
first, catching runners who had
taken long leads from both bases
It was a fast play and had the
Ortonville players not been play
ing a hit-an'-run play they would
not have been caught.
Each team fielded well with
the exception of one or two bad

errors. The batting was not ex-
ceptional by either team but our
boys were superior to their op-
ponents at this The failure Of
our boys who could not connect
with the high fast ones of Leon
ard VanEschen was due to lack
of good judgment, but they
showed in every feature Of the
game a decided improvement over
the last game played last We'd
nesday with Big Stone, when we
beat the Gold Brickers s to 5 in
ten innings.
1t is to be regretted that more
people were not out to see the
boys play in the last two games.
While their play was not perfect,
it is to be questioned whether
better games by high school boys
have ever been played on the To-
cal diamond. 1t may be years be-
fore the people here will see our
boys pay such a high class game
as they did here Saturday. This
Saturday is the last game Of the
season. to be played at Ortonville
and our boys are already feeling
confident that they can even up
with Ortonville.
