BASEBALL


ball tossers from Minneapolis and the
locals, the latter got away with big
lead in the opening chapters that enabled
them to win a to 1 victory.
The game was featured throughout with
number of brilliant plays. The most
sensational play of the day occurred in the
third inning when two men were out with
runner on first and second base. The
batter hit line drive to deep center and
the runner on second tried to score on the
hit. ON came up on the ball at top
speed, recovered it on the first bound and
made as perfect throw to home plate as
is ever witnessed on any diamond. The
play cut off run at the plate, retired the
side and brought forth tremendous ap-
plause from the fans.
The locals in the first stanza hung up
two counters on clean hitting Bona led
off with a strikeout. Eros landed on one
for double. ON lifted high one be-
tween left and centerfeld that looked as if
it might be a possible out. Eros could
not advance from second until his safety
was assured and when the ball landed
safe, Eros could only advance one peg
and ON came to anchor on second with
a two Dagger to his credit. Hick pounded
out single to center that scored Eros and
ON. liver and Burn struck out, retiring
the side.
In the second stanza Lob led off with
single and was moved up one peg on
VOLS single. San drew a pass loading
the bases. Bona went out on a fly to
Crawford and Eros struck out. ON got
hit to left field, scoring Lob and VOL.
Crawford who recovered the ball was a
little slow in getting the ball into play
and ON took advantage of the same and
made dash for second. The ball was
relayed to Olson from the outfeld and he
in turn made wild throw to Flvan, al
lowing San to score and ON going on
to third. Flivan who recovered the ball
delivered it to the pitcher and he let it
drift through his mitt and 60 bounding
out among the fans, thus allowing ON to
score. Hick got safely on the runway
when Gates dropped the ball but liver
struck out retiring the side.
The locals scored no more until the last
half of the sixth frame for the visitors
frightened up in their defensive work and
by pulling off couple of fast double
plays they cut off all chances of the locals
scoring until Burn led off in the sixth by
being thrown out, Olson to Neugent. Lob
struck out, but VOL got lease on life by
Cleve's error and San drew a pass on
balls. Bona got hit that scored VOL
from second and San moved around to
third. Eros went out on a fly to Wilcox,
retiring the side.
The visitors were held scoreless until
the opening of the sixth frame and then
on combination of errors and two base
hit they were able to get one lone marker
to their credit. Olson led off by getting
thrown out, Eros to Hick. Erickson got
safely on when Lob tried to perform an
arobatic stunt in picking up grounder.
Flivan hit into what should of been a
double play and retired the side. liver
handed the ball to Lob in time to complete
the play but Lob being over anxious to
do his part dropped the ball allowing
both runners to be safe. Crawford struck
out but Wilce walloped the horse hide
out for two Dagger, scoring Erickson.
Neugent struck out retiring the side and
ending the game so far as runs were con-
cerned.
Cave started the mound work for the
visitors. He allowed seven safe hits to
be made off his deliveries, which netted
the locals four earned runs and two more
came in on errors. He struck out six men
out of nine possible outs while he was in
the box. He passed two on balls and is
