SLEEPY. EYE BRAVES
ARE. EASY VICTIMS
New Ulm Nine Gets Revenge And
Hands Them Shutout.

Hands hem 0hutOuC.
A massacre, similar to the famous
Custer massacre, occurred at Sleepy Eye
in baseball Sunday, when the New Ulm
nine made up for all previous defeats
by Sleepy Eye, and handed them
goose-egg, while they collected nine
tallies for their own end of the score.
The defeat was the greatest suffered by
the Sleepy Eye team this year, and was
due to both the superb twirling and
the team work of the New Ulm team.
Davis and Davis the New Ulm battery
outguessed &the Sleepy Eye batsmen,
who were able to collect but four scattered
hits off Joe, while an even dozen went
down before his puzzling curves.
Neither Berg, or Foil were effective
against the local men, who collected
a total OF nine hits off the two.
The feature of the game was the bat
ting of "Home-run' Dahms, who clouted
9he ball for circuit run in the second
Inning with two men on bases. The
next time up he also hit long fly which
melted two bases. Lee Davis also had
his batting eye open, getting a single
and a double and walk in four trips
to the plate. Joe Davis got two singles
in four times up.
