BASEBALL

ing game, the first one during the whole
month of June to go that many frames.
The Nichols, Dean and GREGG ball tos-
sers from St. Paul composed the opposing
team. They came here with full conf
dence of winning the game and besides
they were accompanied to the scene of
battle by large delegation of relatives
and friends to cheer them on to victory,
but alas! it proved to be of no avail for
they were finally defeated by score Of
3 to 1.
The game developed right off the reel
in a pitchers contest but it was marred
with errors from beginning to end, caus-
ing the game to be prolonged as well as
mountaineering. The visitors errors were
chiefly in tossing the ball about, while
the locals errors were composed of every
variety imaginable.
Websky who was on the mound for
the visitors pitched good ball and he
deserved better showing than what was
credited to him. He allowed only five
scattered hits, struck out ten men, passed
two on balls and hit one batsman.
San, who did the pitching for the locals
seemed to have shade the best of the
contest all the way. He allowed four
hits, struck out fourteen men and issued
three wild pitches. For seven successive
innings he held the visitors scoreless.
But with the opening of the eighth, Lar
pertuer, after selecting his favorite will
low, drove one out into center garden for
two stations and moment later he pill
fered third. With one runner an
chored safely on third and none out, the
visitors tried hard to stage a batting
rally and even up the score. However,
Websky the next man up struck out.
George managed to dump one just out
of Sans reach, Larperteur scoring and
George beating out the grounder for a
safe hit. Rodgers got safely on by Hick'
error and both runners were moved up
one peg each on the same. Scott picked
out as safe territory to drive one down
scores that would tie the game. But in
trying to do this he did not reckon the
chances he was taking for Eros was on
the job and he made a beautiful pickup
and threw out Scott at first, retiring the
side and ending all possible chances of
the visitors scoring any more, for the last
frame saw them retire in the one, two,
three order.
In the opening chapter the locals hung
up two counts to their credit. They were
unearned runs, for the locals took advan-
tage of the visitors errors and counted
all they could. liver the first man up
reached first on Scotts wild throw to first
and he went to second on the same Bona
struck out. ON connected for safe hit,
scoring liver. ON was advanced to
second on Hick' sacrifice. Bile got on by
Larpertuer's wild throw to first which
gave ON free transportation to the plate
and Bile went to second on the same. A
moment later Bile moved up another peg
on wild pitch. Lob struck out retiring
the side Two runs had been made off of
one hit and three errors.
The locals scored no more until the
last half of the fourth frame. Bile led
off by striking at three wide ones. Lob
drove one to right field for a safe hit.
Frost tried to dump one in front of the
plate and Lob sprinted to second. Eros
failed to make the bunt and Lob was safe
at second on Ryan's peg to that corner.
The next ball delivered, Eros smashed it
squarely on the nose and the ball went
sailing out between left and centerfeld
for single giving Lob grand oppor-
tunity to score from second. Burn was
hit with pitched ball and both runners
were advanced one station each by Sans
sacrifice. 1t was now up to liver to bring
in the two runners on hit but all he
was able IN produce was a strikeout
