ming at the fair grounds ball park last
Sunday afternoon. They not only gave
them good trimming. but rubbed the
salt on when they refused to give them
a single score, Denison having to be
satisfied with goose egg.
Although the weather threatened all
morning, the sun finally did make it's
appearance about noon and large
crowd of spectators was on hand to
Witness the fray. DelOit had a large
number of rooters on hand with noise
machines and they sure did root for
their team. ss.
iDenison played good, steady game
the contest, but they were
simply up against it when hits were
needed to put runs across the plate.
Every time there was chance to
score double play would result or
ono of DelOit's players would be un.
der the ball with open hands.
Both teams we're loaded up for bear.
but Deloit seemed to have been able
to get the best grade of ammunition.
Denison's battery was Potash and
VAIL, of Omaha, and Potash pitched
a real nice game up until the seventh
inning, when Deloit landed on his de-
livery for two singles and a three
base hit, with the result that two runs
came across for Deloit, and Potash
got the derrick and StilmOnt took his
place on the slab. On the first ball
Stilmont pitched the batter landed On
it for a single and another score was
registered.
In the sixth Deloit got in two
runs on two singles and ripping
three base hit to left. In the ninth
Deloit put three men across on four
singles and G base on balls.
Deloit had classy battery In
O'Byrne and Preibs, in fact OByrne
who halls from Cherokee. is about the
best pitcher who has stepped on a
Denison diamond in a mighty long
time. He Is as cool as cucumber
and had the Denison batters standing
on their heads and swinging at the air
all through the game; in fact he leu
Denison down with three hits, two
singles and a two base hit. He
is not only a classy pitcher, but when
it comes to landing on that old horse
hide, you've got to hand it to that old
boy. for he made four trips up to the
plate and each time he pounded tile
ball into safe territory, getting three
singles and a three base hit. His hit
ting was one of the features OF the
game, together with the fast fielding
of the Deloit infield. who pulled of
two double plays on the Denison boys.
Deloit simply outplayed, out batted
and outfielded the Denison boys. While
Denison was getting three hits and
no runs off of O'Bryne. Deloit was
pounding the Denison slab artists for
ten hits. eight singles and two three
base hits. for eight runs.
Denison no doubt has mighty good
ball team. but when they face such
pitching and batting as O'Bryne hand,
ed out to them it is proposition that
is mighty hard to beat. Denison had
several chances to score, but the luck
was evidently against them for dou'
BILE play would result or a fielder
would be under the ball each time.
A return engagement with Deloit1
will be played in the near future and
the Denison boys are planning on
bringing home the bacon and giving
Deloit the game OF their lives.
