HgOEGN the latter's diamond last
l&-2y Saturday by a score of
3 to l. The visitors started right
off the reel at hitting the ball.
Donahue, the first man up, lifted
one high over the right fielder's
head for a three-base hit. Shell
struck at three wide ones but Helm
dropped the third strike, then
made wild throw to Jam, allow
ing Shell to get safely on. Peulen
flied out to Brad. Berg drove a
fast one over second base scoring
Donahue, while Shell advanced to
third station. Mcpherson flied out
to Add. Huelsman struck at three
balls and again Helm dropped the
third strike and his throw to Jam
was not perfect, although Jam had
plenty of time to step off the base
and catch the ball and get back on
the base before the runner arrived
on the initial sack. As it was,
Jam reached out as far as he could
with one hand and his foot on the
base, the ball striking the tip of
his mitt and bounding off among
the fans allowing Shell to score.
Cayou went out on a rolling groun-
der, Bran to Jam. In the third
frame the locals presented the Wis
itors with another score. PeuleD
got on when Bran fumbled his
grounder. Berg was passed by be-
ing hit with a pitched ball. Nc
Pherson got safe hit, filling the
bases and no one was out. Huels-
man rolled an easy one to Jam and
Peulen was thrown out at home
plate. Helm in completing a double
play made another wild throw to
Jam, but that in itself did not ex-
cuse Jam from stopping the ball
and keeping the visitors from
scoring. In other words Cayou
got safely on by Jams error while
Huelsman scored on the same.
Nelson was thrown out, Brad to
Jam. This ended the visitors
score record and Donahue's score
was the only earned run they
made.
The locals were unable to figure
in the scoring line until the fourth
inning. Then Brad, the first man
up, landed on one for a three-bag-
ger, and then he took desperate
chances in scoring when McPher-
son let the ball slip through his
mitt. Mcpherson was a little
slow in recovering the ball which
allowed Brad to score. In the
third and fifth innings the locals
bad good chances for scoring but
they we're simply thrown away by
poor judgment and base running.
In the third frame after two men
had been retired Lee found one
for clean hit, and then stole Sec
ond base. The locals heaviest hit
ters were following and East drew
a pass on balls, but Lee was over
anxious to get on third base and
he tried to steal third on the ball
that gave East his base, but was
thrown out, Huelsman to McPher-
son. If Lee had waited for a hit
either from East or Brad he could
have scored as easily from second
base as from third. In the fifth
frame the play was almost re-
peater of the third frame. After
two men were out Lee got on by a
safe hit. East drove a fast groun-
der to left field and Lee over-ran
second base 80 far he could not get
back in time to keep from being
thrown out, Peulen to Berg. 1t is
customary in baseball to over-run
a base far enough to draw a field
er's throw, but a runner should
always bear in mind to keep within
the safety zone.
Cayou had the locals guessing
all the time. He was given excel
lent support by his team mates and
