F@lAU minneapolis we're defeat
HS0ESH ed on our local diamond
NNy Saturday in one of the
most spirited contests ever wit
messed within the prison walls.
In the absence of the M. S. P.
manager, Mr.. Tolen of Saltwater
had charge of the local players.
He, knowing that the Northern
Athletics is one of the strongest
semi. professional teams in the
Twin Cities, decided to strengthen
the home team by importing an
outside battery, consisting of Ber-
ger as catcher, Schauer as third
baseman and pitcher, and Oden-
valid as pitcher. The rest of the
players were local men who played
their regular positions.
There was considerable delay in
getting the game started because
of the late arrival of some of the
visiting players. They came at
last and the game was on With
Farnham on the bridge for the
visitors. Before the side was re-
tired five successive hits were made
and five runs came cantering home.
Theis took the helm in the second
frame and he was able to hold the
locals more on fifty fifty basis.
East started the trouble for the
visitors in the first frame by being
allowed to reach first on an error.
Brad then drove one over near the
kitchen which looked good for a
home run, but the ball was back
into play soon enough to stop
Brad at third station. He, how
ever, did not stay there long, for
Jam brought him home on a single.
Bush was thrown out at first. Burn
singled, but Berger only whitfield
at the sphere three times. Schauer
drove a liner out to left field scor-
ing Jam and Burn. Schauer stole
second and third and scored on
Bran's hit. Odenwald was thrown
out at first, ending the artillery
work for the locals in the first
frame.
Theis came on deck smiling in the
second frame and the locals were
unable to do very much with his
deliveries and in fact he held them
scoreless till the fifth inning.
Brad, the first man up, selected a
big Bertha bat and the first ball
delivered to him he promptly hit
on the nose and sent it flying over
the right felder's head. 1t came
to rest at the entrance to shop G.
of the Irvine factory. Brad was
between third and home before the
ball had been recovered by the
fielder. Bush lifted a high one to
left field, but Capron promptly
took care of it. Jam singled to
left field, but he tried to stretch it
into a two-bagger and was thrown
out, Capron to Bondy. In the
seventh the locals scored once
more. East waited for four balls
and walked. He stole second and
scored on Bush's hit. Add struck
out. Brad sent up high one to
Bondy. Jam drove a grounder
past Duberry for a single. Burn
famed out, thus ending the locals
scoring.
Odenwald, who is a "southpaw"
or left-hander, kept firing steady
stream of baflers to his opponents
which kept them guessing all the
time. In the sixth inning, how
ever, he began to show signs of
weakening. He allowed two hits
in this inning, passed one on balls,
then aided by Bran's error, two
scores came home. Schauer re-
lieved Odenwald in the seventh
and Add took his regular position
at third. Schauer for the balance
of the game gave the local fans an
exhibition of baseball pitching that
they seldom get chance to wit
ness. The visitors for the re-
