Emmons County record., 1916-06-29

he lost his own game by couple Of
wild heaves at critical points in the
game. In the third inning j. Klein
got walk and Forjack, Strasburg
twirler, reached first on an error.
Kruger advanced them by wild pitch
and later followed by throwing ten
feet over the catcher's head to cut off
the runner. Both men scored. At
no other time during the contest was
Strasburg even dangerous, but it was
enough. The little fellows didn't
seem to have their batting clothes ON.
Only in the eighth inning was there
any excitement. Puder hit safe.
Kruger sacrificed. Edwards went out
to left field and Puder scored.
Strasburg secured only one lone hit
and Linton got seven.
,, After the Linton-Strasburg game
Hazelton then took up Strasburi: nnd
Hcrreid and won each game hanLiiy
Herreid held them level for a while,
but the pace was too strorg. This
left the first days record two won by
fIaZelton, one won and one lost by
Strasburg, one lost by both Hrrrc,d
and Linton.
Sunday morning the Herrc,d and
Linton teams started the program
Two Herreid players were conspicuous
by their absence and pernii:si N was
asked to substitute two men from 9TH
er teams. They got it anl picked
Prouty from the StrasbucEcrs alu!
Alexander, of Hazelton. 1: was un
easy, win, however, for the Lin.onitcs.
They seemed to have struck their
stride and won the game humidity
score 7 to 2. Puder did the twirling
for us and his work was superb.
Until the seventh inning he pitched n
no-hit game. Then Snerccr. .he
Herreid catcher, landed on one for a
homer. One more hit in tn. ninth
was their limit. Puder famed fifteen.
Linton scored twice in the first, orce
in the second, once in the fifth, three
times in the seventh, or seven scores
in cll
After dinner came the battle of the
series. HaZelton won the toss. In
the first and second frames there was
nothing doing. In the third Linton
failed to score. Hazelton drew one
lead by Crownecklace's error and
kentfield's lucky stab to the left
field foul line. Try as they might, the
Lintonites could not break that one
lead until the sixth. Then Edwards
struck out, Kohl went to first on Neid-
ekorn's error, Shier flew out to 'Kurtz.
With two down and one on base, Su-
man drove out a slashing triple, scor-
ing Kohl. Erickson followed with a
single and Suman scored. This
switched the lead to Linton, but only
for minute. In the seventh Fischer
hit for Two bases and then Crowneck-
lace bobbled another from Neide-
korn. Fischer scored. In the sew
enth and eighth Linton could do moth
ing. In the last of the eighth Hazel
ton plucked the lead away by score
hits by Truman and Thompson doing
the trick.
| Linton came to bat for the last time
with the game apparently tucked
away in Hazelton's pocket. There
was surprise in store, however
Necklace went to first on Kentfield's
bobble when he grabbed one ava,
from Thompson. Erickson and Pc.
trie were both down when Hamilton
walked. With Hamilton and Necklace
on the bags, Puder came up and drove
them both across the plate with 6
slashing single. Edwards struck out
In Hazelton's final frame Neidekorr
was retired, Hamilton to Erickson
Kentfield singled and the heavy-hit
ting Fly faced the plate. Up to thi!
point the crowd was wrought up to {
hig pitch of excitement. It all wa.
J over with bang when Fly hit ,
double play, Crownecklace to Kohl t.
Erickson.
} Thus ended the contest with Linto,
! winner after it looked as each team
had cinched the thing about thre,
. times. Hamilton was on the noun,
for Linton and it was sweet reveng
for the trimming Hazelton once CAV

g Fly was going good, too, and Tough
