DANIELSON TEAM IS
WINNER; SCORE 2O-13

Preceding the fiag-raising cere
monies and the MOline-D Davenport
game yesterday battle that will long
be remembered by those present in the
stands-including the scOrer-and even
longer by those who dOnned the neceS-
Sary paraphernalia to take part in
Americas favorite game, was staged
between Anil Danielsons victorious
Avenue squad and Emil Coleman s
heartbroken Fifteenth Streeters.
The battle was called at the end of
the fifth inning by agreement with
DanielsOn's sluggers holding the heavy
end OF a 20-to-13 count.
Every fan who paid his twO-bits for
entrance to the ball yard yesterday
should have been well satisfied with
his investment, as everything that has
happened in the history Of the national
game happened in those five innings
of pastiming by the merchants.
CoIeman's nine met its downfall in
the final session, DanieIson calling out
the reserves as well as all the regu-
lars. Eleven different players partici-
pated in this inning, some stepping to
the plate three times while others bat
ted only once. BlOmgren tOted off the
hitting honOrs in this round, getting
three circuit knocks. MOhl also hit
Tor the entire distance in this Stanza
and once earlier in the game.
At the start of the game Bob Rank
was assigned to mound duty by Boss
Coleman. while BlOmgren was Man
ager Danielson's choice. Bob was go
ing fairly well until Perry Vessel,
who by the way, is some pitcher as well
as a stitcher. took up the task and ap-
piled a coat Of white wash to the Ave
nue. team in two innings. Dale and
ShalIberg twirIed the final round and.
sorry to say, their slants were hit to all
corners of the lot.
Blomgren and Hart. who did slab
duty for the victors. both pitched good
ball. Donahoo proved to be the field
ing star of the day, making several
sensational stops and throws from the
hot corner.

WATER IN PARK POOL
FREE FROM BACTERIA

That the water in the pool at Pros
pect park is free from bacteria is tn,
statement of l.. A. F'ritze, chemist
the city waterworks. Mr. F'ritze say
that there is no danger in the pont
from disease of any sort.
Reports have been received from
time TO time that impurities existed il
the water there. According to Mr.
Fritze, the only foundation for these
rumors lies in the fact that the mud
is stirred up by the swimmers. From
700 to 500 people battle there daily
consequently kicking up d great deal
of dirt from the bottom of the pool
The water, however, is running in
and out during the entire "A hours OF
the day. This, says Mr.. F'ritze, makes
it impossible for bacteria to gather.
