M. S. P. Base Ball Summary for 1919


Following are the official records Of the NJ s. P.
baseball team for the season Of 1919. The season
opened up on April 26 with the Saltwater Majes-
tics as the opposing team. The visitors won the
opening game by count of s to 8. The last game
of the played on October 18th the Still
water All Stars. this occasion, was the visiting
team and they werS defeated by score of 5 to 8.
During this intervening time twenty eight
games we're scheduled to be played on the locals
diamond but two of them were annulled on account
of rain. These unfortunate events occurred on May
8, and Sept 12. leaving twentysix games to be play
ed per schedule. Most every team that visited
here was of the miprofessonal class and the way
the locals held their with them is something
marvellous. For instance, the soldiers from Fort
Smelling not satisfied with the trimming they
received at the hands of the locals May 81 with
score of to 8. Then on June % they suffered
their second defeat by of to A. So on July
IL they came back again and gave the locals of
the worst defeats they received during the season.
It q complete victory by the soldiers for they
shut out the locals and they were able to score at
wil the final count stood to 0. However. the To-
Gals won two games ont of three played with them,
and they considered one of the best teams that
visited this institution during the season.
The following batting and fielding averages in
cude each and everv player who to bat at
least once. well those who played in the field
and had one or more chances.
During the season three games were played
where it took extra innings to be played before a
final decision reached. The first one was play
ed on August with the Silver Bow team from
Minneapolis The visitors this game in the ell
eventh inning by score of IL to 10. On August
% another extra inning game staged by the
Saltwater N. P. and the locals. In this game
the visitors out in the Twelfth inning by
of to s. Then Sept. the locals battled for
thirteen successive innings with the Army and Navy
team before final decision was reached. The To-
calls won this game in the last half of the thirteenth
frame base on balls, stolen base and drive
to centerfeld for two stations. Two men bad been
retired when the winning made which
gave the locals count of four runs, while at the
time, the visitors could only accumulate three
This was by far the most spectacular and interesting
game of the season. When that two base hit went
sailing out between right and center field the local
fans wenti wild with joy.
This National baseball sport is adhered to here
with exceptionally keen interest among the local
fans and here hoping that the team for 1920 will
be as successful the team of 1919. Out of twen-
ty six games played the locals won fourteen giving
them percentage of 538.

The principal difficulty in the way
of securing such advancement, is to
secure a body Of community workers

The bill to repeal the anti-injunc-
