AUDUBON TAKES
| Thinning GAME
HOME TEAM WINS ONE OF THE
PRETTIEST EXTRA INNING
GAMES PLAYED HERE

"Oh, Boyi" Believe US it
was real game. This was the ex-
preston heard from the fans on
both sides after the thinning bat
| tie Sunday between the local club
and Guthrie Center at the johnson
ball park in which Audubon emerg-
ed the victors to the tune of to A..
When we say battle, that is just
what we mean from start to finish.
Law was on the mound for the To-
Gals and after the first two innings
he held Guthrie Center's heaviest
sluggers in the hollow of his left
hand, which only goes to show that
whatever profession the individual
members of the visiting team follow
there were no lawyers among them.
Mr.. Law, We are willing to call him
Mr.. from now on, gave one of the
prettiest exhibitions of twirling that
was ever staged in Audubon by any
pitcher and the farther he went the
better he got so that we would not
venture to predict what he would
have done had the battle gone much
farther. 1t is enough said in his
favor when we merely mention the
fact in passing that he let the fam
Gus Guthrie Center fence busters
down in IL long innings with only
three hits to their credit and sent
IA of them vending their way back
to the bench via the strike-our
route. And also we want to give
full credit to the other members of
the local club who played behind
their wonderful trwirler like real big
him Uilf ndOnd
support at all stages of the game
when the visitors threatened to put
the game on ice. Yea verify we
are in full agreement with everyone
who was there in saying that it was
a wonderful game and that with the
boys putting up the brand of ball
that was shown last Sunday, we will
back them against any strictly anna
teur team in this or any other neck
of the woods. The fight by rounds
went as follows: Will Roth start
ed the game behind the bat for the
locals and with a new man in the
box the combination was found to
be too shaky to get the best of re-
suits and Kline replaced him with
Joe Roth sent out to right held.
Two walks and wild pitch net
ted Guthrie Center one run in the
first inning while Audubon failed TO
score. Another run was scored by
the visitors in their half of the sec
ond on a walk, hit by Shoesmith
and a fumbled grounder by Law.
Audubon came right back in their
half however and pushed two across
bv hits coupled with errors on the
part of the visitors and tied 1t up.
Guthrie Center scored one more IN
the third and Audubon smacked the
pill in the fourth for two scores,
tieing ii up agian. The fifth was
scoreless for either side but each
team took one in the sixth leaving 1t
tied up once more. Then Law got
his heavy artillery into action and
for the next six innings only ID
men faced him. 1t was three up
and three down for the visitors. Au-
dubon also failed to score although
they had men on bases several times
until the last half of the twelfth
inning when MertZ, first man up,
slammed out a single, Kline follow
ing, got a screaming two Dagger
and Kaufman stepping up to the
plate hit the first ball pitched for
safe one and the game had passed
into history.
Audubon will play Carroll at the
Johnson ball park next Sunday and
with the form they are showing now
and Law in the box the fans can
look forward to real game. There
should be a large number of fans
out to see this game as the boys are
now putting up brand of ball that
deserves the hearty support of every
ball fan in Audubon.
The lineup and box score of last
Sundays game follows:
