SoNDA
The New Ulm baseball team put
the finishing touches to their seasons
record, when they defeated the crack
Young America nine at the American
Legion picnic at Norwood last Sun
day. Accompanied by over 200 of
the local rooters, the team went to
Norwood in special train and with
this support behind them played one of
the best games of the season.
All Salaried Aggregation.
That the locals were forced to play
good ball can be judged from the
fact that among Young America S
nine were the following men: Klein
Henry, Chicken, Chell and B. Law
Ter of Minneapolis and Schroeder, the
crack saltwater first baseman.
New Ulm's lineup consisted of the
following men: Born, catcher, Bertsch
pitcher, Bum, first base, Bane, Sc
cond base, Dies, short, Peterson,
third, Robinson, Guentner and Pfeif-
fer in the outfeld. The only errors
made by the locals were made by
Peterson and were responsible for
the lone run made by Young Ameri-
ca.
Bertsch Had Good Control.
Frosty" Bertsch made his last
appearance for New Ulm Sunday
and certainly finished his season in
good form. Six scattered hits were
made off of him while eleven of the
opposing batters whitfield the ozone
In the second inning he famed three
men in succession and followed it up
with two more in the third and one
in the fourth. 1t was in the fourth
inning when several errors allowed
Young America to score run.
New Ulm started the scoring in
the first inning. Robinson the first
man up singled. Petersen bunted
and was safe when the opposing
third baseman fumbled the ball.
Pfeiffer fouled to the catcher. Born
hit to second who threw home catch.
ing Robinson who attempted to
score. Bum, the next man up
doubled to center scoring Peterson
and Born. Dies ended the inning by
hitting to third.
Throughout the entire game the
spectators were on the edge of their
nerves as both teams had several
chances to score during the game.
Poor Umpiring.
The game was marred by poor
umpiring. The umpire, Norwood
man, evidently could not see the
ball as he called some very rank de-
cisions on both sides. One de-
cision in particular almost ended the
game in row. This came in the
ninth inning. Young America was
at bat. The first man was out on a
fly to second. The umpire then call
ed the next man out on strikes but
the Young America aggregation raised
such a rumpus that he changed his
decision and walked the batter. This
caused howl on the part of the local
team and after arguing for almost
half an hour the New Ulm boys
finally gave in AS a result the game
could have been lost. Henry, the
next man up singled Klein hit to
Bertsch who threw to third forcing
Chell who had walked Then came
B. Lawlef, the man who had made
two doubles off of Bertsch during
the game. Fortune however was
with us for he hit high fly which
was gathered in by Bum, thus re.
firing the side.
Band Accompanied Team.
Without doubt, the main rooter,
for the New Ulm team was the base
ball band. Composed of nine me1
they not only supported the team
i but kept the New Ulm rooterS il
good cheer and did much ito enter
tain the spectators at the game
While enroute and coming back from
Norwood the band played a piece a
all the stops and drew forth applaus
from those who were at the station
/ Good Team Next Year.
/ Already the fans are beginning t
to talk about getting a team fo
| next year and if the enthusiast
keeps UP New Ulm will have ia
better team than they had this yea,
