FAIRMONT AND NEW ULM IN
ELEVEN IL MING GAME.
SCORE 8 TO 8. ~ &'

New Ulm made it three out Of
four games from Sleepy Eye last
Sunday when they defeated the
Indians" by an to 5 score. The
game turned out to be somewhat
of a hitting match as both Bertsch
and Pyel where hit quit frequently.
The game was an argumentatlve
affair from start to finish. Sleepy
Eye had hardly put their foot on
the diamond when they started to
chew the rag, First a howl was
raised about the umpire and then
Bum covered first base for New
Ulm. Then during the game several
arguments arose, Pyell, the Sleepy
Eye tWirler being the one to start
them.
Visitors Start Scoring
New Ulm kept up their gentle
manly sportsmanship by allowing the
visitors to score two runs in the
start. Murray the first man UP
doubled to right. Hoffman out short
to first. Robinson was hit. Bane
then hit long single scoring Muir
ray and Robinson.
New Ulm evened up the score in
the second inning when Bum was
safe on an error by first. Born singl-
ner famed. Bertsch then singled
scoring Bum and Born scored a
few minutes later on a wild pitch.
Sleepy Eye forged ahead again in
the third when Robinson singled and
scored on long double by Donahue.
Their lead was not. to be retained
long for in the last half of the third
the locals hit Pyell at will and when
the dust had settled down New Ulm
was leading by four runs. Williams,
the first man up in this inning, singl-
ed. Peterson laid down a neat little
bunt the ball hitting him on the
throw from Pyell to first base. In
an attempt to take third on the
play Williams was caught for the
first out. Pfeiffer then hit a fly to
right field Bum was hit, advanc-
ing Peterson to second. Born then
hit a long single scoring Peterson and
Bum. Guentner walked. Bertsch
polled out his second hit scoring
Bum. Guentner and Bertsch both
scored on Schaefer's hit to right
field. Schaefer was caught trying
to make second on the play.
Two more runs were added by
Sleepy Eye in the sixth, when Reit-
ter doubled to left. Donahue and
Pyell were both struck out by
Bertsch. Glotzbach hit high fly
to Schaefer, who dropped the ball,
Reitter scoring. Sherman and Muir
ray both singled scoring Glotzbach.
This ended the scoring for Sleepy
Eye although they had several good
chances. In the seventh inning Bane
Sleepy Eyes heaviest hitter secured
a three-bagger, but his tteam mates
were not there in the pinch.
In the last inning it seemed as if
Sleepy Eye was sure to score. Muir
ray the first man up was safe when
Peterson fumbled the ball and got
it to first just trifie late. Hoffman
singled putting Murray on third.
Robinson hit a fly to center field,
Guentner returning the ball to Born
in time to catch Murray who at
then struck out.
New Ulm added their final score
in the seventh when after two men
were gone Peterson dou bled and
scored when Pyell droppe d Pfeiffers
pop up.
This game without doubt settles
the question Of superiority of the
two teams and but little doubt can
remain as to which is the best. ;,
New Ulm and Sleepy Eye vii
