Il @llNH OreSg Dali UOSSorS from
|HSVHNSH st. Paul, who invaded our
INNly Recreation Park Satur-
day, suffered an overwhelming de-
feat by the locals. The visitors
were accompanied by large dele
CATION of friends and relatives. who
were roofing strongly for their fa-
vorite team at all times when the
occasion demanded it, but alas! it
proved to be of no avail.
The visitors in the opening frame
managed to get one man around
the circuit. This occurred by the
first man to bat getting safely to
first by Bran heaving the ball over
Jams head and then going safely
on to second. He then advances
to third on Johnson's hit and
scores on Helms wild throw. The
visitors figured no more in the
score line till the seventh inning.
Then after two men were out, An
derson gets safely to first when
Add makes wild throw to Jam,
the runDer going safely to second.
He then scores on Olson's hit to
center field; the ball was played to
home base but Anderson was called
safe on close decision. Mean
time Olson had gone to sleep on
first base but suddenly woke up,
thinking he could 60 to second
while Helm was delivering the ball
to Lee. His calculations went
askew, for he was thrown out at
second, Lee to Brad.
The locals at times played air.
tight ball, but it was slightly
sprinkled with several inexcusable
errors. They we're of the throw
ing variety, each and every irfeld
player being charged with one or
more such errors. When we stop
to consider that the locals get no
practice at all, then we are obliged
to look over this class of errors
with respect.
The locals in the first frame en-
deavored to push one man across
the plate and tie the visitors. East,
the first man up, draws pass on
balls. Then Brad bunts a beauti-
full grounder along first base line
and beats the ball to first. Both
runners safe. Bush drives one out
to center, East scoring. The ball
being played to third caused Brad
to get bottled up between third
and home and was out, Larson to
Dakto. Burn and Jam were easy
outs, thus retiring the side. In
the third frame the locals sewed up
the game for good by four men
crossing home plate. By an ava
lanch of errors by the visitors, the
locals were allowed to make four
runs and only one safe hit. In the
fifth they counted one more on a
two-base hit and one error. Not
being satisfied with the lead they
already had, they added three
more in the sixth. Helm, the first
man up, drives high fly to left
field which should have been an
easy out but the ball bounded out
of the felder's NIT, allowing Helm
to reach third safely on the error.
He scores on Lees hit, Lee scoring
on East's two-bagger and East
scoring on Bush's hit. Bush, try
ing to steal third, is out, retiring
the side and ending the locals score
record, for at this stage of the
game the visitors changed pitchers
and Thompson put quite a crimp
in the locals batting ability for the
remainder of the game.
Anderson, who pitched the first
six innings for the visitors, allowed
seven safe hits, passing two on
balls and hitting one batsman. He
struck out six men. Thompson,
who relieved him in the seventh
inning, made a much better show
ing against his opponents. He
struck out three men in two in
