en- Team For Closing Game.

| nerS were on the paths ana some er-
ratio fielding by both squads. The
/ ivory performance OF the visitors
i proved expensive, while the messy
/ work of the champions was confined
! to one inning and did not prove costly.
/ 1t was a disorganized team that
| Manager Stanley sent into the game,
the chief choosing the shortstopper
| position for himself, because Mermaid
| kellerman, the regular guy at that
position, is suffering from a crippled
| crutch. The latter disported in right
| garden, where it was figured he would
| have a quiet afternoon, majority OF
| the home hitters aiming their hits to
| right field. AT any rate kellerman had
| three chances which he accepted very
| creditably for a man with one stump
| George Willigrod, of this city, was Sc
cured temporarily. substituting for
Stanley al first and doing the job
most acceptably. Sheffield, pitcher,
| outtielder, and general utility mao,
| opened the game in left. but afte-
| French went to sleep on a play early
| in the game, was switched to third,
| French going 10 the outer. -a-i n.
Carleton. who has worked his turn

pals Jumped the club that is, pitching
on days when Sheffield was not on ne
mound, which is Sundays, TUESDAYS,
Thursdays and Saturdays, was on Ire
board as pitcher
Carleton Hit Freely.
Carleton was in the pink Of condi-
!. tion-for a beating. He got it. When
ever the champions put men on the
paths some one would come up who
could hit, and that was everyone on
the club except Durkin, who had an
unlucky day, hitting directly into the
hands of the visiting felders. Every
body else got hit and Cameron reg
istered a pair. Carleton was inclined
to the belief that his mates were not
giving him the best Of support, and
that the umpire was giving him the
worst of it. Barring one inning. the
sixth. Carleton was almost entirely
responsible for results. In that session
the fielding Of the Resorters was bad
so bad that three runs were scored
with but one hit and walk charge
able against Carleton. Umpire BLOCK,
be it said. was very impartial and
his work was as good as has been seen
here this year.
Higgins. for the champions, pitched
nasterful ball for seven innings, hold
ing the visitors 20 two hits. In the
eighth, however. he eased up. and four
hits in the one frame gave the Resort
ers their two runs. Aside from TINS
bad round the visitors were helpless
turnout the game.
Recorders to Strengthen.
1t must not be expected, however,
that Yesterdays exhibition is a sample
of the playing to De expected from
the Clear Lake club. Il was a had day
for Shanley's gang, which came here
fresh from triple victory o"er the
Dodgers. The reaction following
week of uncertainty as 10 then future
and the lack of box artists TO relieve
Carleton and Sheffield, who have done
woman service during the past week,
| left the team in temporary state OF
| helplessness.
Today it was expected that Fitz-
patrick. late of Mason City, would ar
! rive to join the club, Manager OIeary
| having offered Stanley the serv!ces OF
| one Of his pitchers. This kind act will
aid materially and undoubtedly will be
appreciated, especially SO since
| O'Leary, in his generosity, is depriv-
| ing himself of one Of the five mounds
men he has been carrying all season.
President Ford, perhaps, should share
the praise of the Recorders as the gift
| may have been partially due to tie
| executives i1sistence that OLearv re-
| duce his squad to legal proportions
| forthwith. Fitzpatrick Is good pitch
| er and should strengthen the club.
An outfelder from the Central
league, secured by Manager Boyle for
| Clear Lake, also Is expected to report
| today or tomorrow. These additions
together with one or two Stanley is
| arranging, should result in a formid-
able club to oppose the champions in
the last game Saturday.
| Champions Win Early.
The champions COPIED in the early
| innings. and after the third there was
| no question as to the Anal result. Two
runs were put over in the first frame,
| Murphy starting the stampede when he
/ beat out a hit to French. The latter
| overthrow first, after .Iurphy had
1 reached the bag, Murphy going To sec
| ond. Eunick doubled, Murphy scoring,
4 and the former counted when Cameron
| hit for base.
| In the third Eunick was hit by q
1 pitched ball and went to third IN Lees
single Clemens hit to Stanley, and
| Eunick was trapped between third and
| the plate. In a see-saw play Eunick
was tagged out, Stanley to Sheffield
! to McGIade to Carleton. Spellman
drove a liner to the right field fence,
scoring Lee and Clemens. Spellman
took third on the hit and scored when
Carleton loosened a wild pitch.
II One Hit; Thres Runs.
II In the sixth three runs were scored
on one hit after two batters had been
retired. I.eReau walked and Murphy
was safe on Willigrod's error. LeBeau
wont tn third the misDlay and
Murphy stole second. Eunick hit to
Sheffield who made wild heaye to
the bleachers, LeBeau and Murphy
scoring. Eunick went to second on tie
bad throw, and scored on Dameron's
hot drive over second.
The visitors conspired against Hig-
gins in the eighth, grouping four hits
for pair of runs. After Carleton had
been tossed out by jDurlzin, Meinert
singled. Kellerman whitfield, but Nc
Glade soaked the pill to the DEPTHS Of
