Sank Centre, s; Alexandria, A.

Sank Centre high school baseball
team started off it's 1916 season last
Saturday afternoon at the Fair
Grounds with victory over the fast
Alexandria high school aggregation,
the win being more notable because
the local lads faced the famed AL
Cassell on the mound.
Off to bad start because of two
errors by A. Barry and wavering by
Sohle in the second and third innings
when the lanky local hurler hit three
batters and passed another, netting
four runs for the visitors without a
hit, the locals displayed their game
ness by coming in from behind and
smashing the ball so hard in their last
two times at bat as to pull what seem
ed lost game out of the fire.
The afternoon was cold and raw, re-
sulting in pitifully small attendance,
but those who braved the elements
witnessed a pretty pitchers battle be-
tween Cassell and Sohle. Both hurled
alright ball despite disconcerting err
rors behind them.
Sohle had a slight edge on Cassell.
Both had ten strikeouts to their credit.
Cassell was the steadier in locating
the plate, issuing only one free pass,
while Sohle passed three and hit three
batters. Sohle was stingy, however,
when it came to allowing hits when
they meant runs and none of the
three safe bingles secured off him fig
ured in the score getting. Cassell
was also effective until the seventh
and eighth innings when the locals
began swinging their war clubs,
punching three singles, and double
in the seventh for two runs and tieing
up the game, then winning out in the
following inning. ,
In the opening frame both sides
went out one-two-three but the Sec
ond was productive of all kinds of I'M
canny baseball and scoring. A. Cas-
sell was safe when A. Barry dropped
an easy fly in right and kept going on
to second. G. Cassel stopped one OF
Sohle's shoots but was out at second
when Falc0ner shot one at Lee. Sohle
filled the bases by hitting Sherman.
Weedum whitfield for the second out
but Lee let Hanson's hot one by him
and Cassell and Falconer scored. Syv-
rud ended it by popping up to c..
Pangburn.
The locals came back in their half
with one tally. Lee singled, Cooper was
safe on Mattson's error, Lee going to
third, and scoring when Falconer
threw to first after dropping Wag-
ner's third strike. Wagner stole Sec
ond but the two Pangburns and A.
Barry went out in order.
The visitors came right back in the
3rd with more and the game seemed
cinched. Mattson whitfield and Daily
grounded out to Wagner. Sohle pass
ed A. Cassell, who went to third when
A. Barry dropped another easy one in
right, this time from G. Cassell's pole.
bOCil OdSoCl1S SCOICu WHICH, OOIlc
threw poorly to third to catch AL.
That ended the run getting for the
visitors and they had not secured a
hit off Sohle. Only once again were
they dangerous and that was in the
fifth when Sohle pitched himself out
of tight hole. DAILY singled and A.
Cassell followed with a double. Sohle
passed G. Cassell, filling the bags.
Falconer whitfield and DAILY was nipped
at the plate when he hit to Sohle.
Weedum popped to c. Pangburn with
bases still full.
The locals began their rally in the
seventh. Wagner was safe on an err
ror but was caught stealing at second.
E. Pangburn struck out. C. Pang-
burn shot single into right and A..
Barry followed suit. Farr smashed a
long double into right, scoring Pang-
burn and Barry. C. Barry followed
with another single and took second
on the throw to catch Farr at third.
At this point occurred an unpleas-
ant incident. Farr went into the bag
hard and G. Cassell dropped the
