HOME RUNS
The general opinion of the fans
who saw the game is that the
Graceville manager pulled a boner
when he took Butell out of the box
and substituted the south paw. But
tell had pitched a good game for
seven innings and allowed only five
hits. StevenSon's home run should
reflect no discredit on any pitcher,
as Steve manages to hit almost any
mounder he comes up against. Hauk-
land walked the first man and Manley
took two base hit off him.
The several errors of the Grace
vile short were mighty costly to
the team and allowed the Milbankites
to make their runs.
Cub Wiley, formerly of the Clinton
aggregation was with the Graceville
team. Cub plays the same old ball
and brought in one tally. He was es-
pecially pleased with Doc Sulivan's
umpiring and said that it was the
best umpired game that he has play
ed and that they certainly did not
have kick toregister. Milbank fans
feel the same way. Doc is going to be
| seen with the protector and mask
| regularly after this and fans will be
assured Of good umpiring when he is
on the job.
"Pete" Lee split his finger while
warming up and Krouse took his
place in the fifth inning. Several of
! the Milbank line up are cripples or
sem-cripples and are unable to play
their usual style.
Stevenson gave the fans their
moneys worth Sunday when he
knocked the ball down to the creek
| for home run. Ground rules usually
i prevent more than a two Dagger on
such clouts, but no rules were made
that day.
/ Ortonvllle Won out over the Water
town team Sunday thru luck. Juel
was on the mound and allowed them
three hits. The score was made when
he put Chick" on by hitting him
with the ball. Chick stole second, took
third on an overthrow and crossed
the home plate on a second over
throw by Juel. Childs was on the
mound for Ortonville and held the
Watertown team to one hit.
The scrappy Monte bunch went
down Tor an ignominious defeat az
the hands Of the Madison salaried ao-
gregation Sunday by score of 15-o.
Monte's grabbing and protesting evil
IDENTITY did not have a great deal of
effect on the scoring abilities of the
Madisonites.
The Ortonville- Watertown game
| Sunday was a prize winner. Water
town gained but one hit from Childs,
while Milhank pounded him for nine.
Ortonville CLEANED but 8 hits off Juel,
while Milbank whitfers made nice
ones off his offerings Both teams
must have had an off day, or the
score keeper was wrong.
Ortonville had a speedy bunch of
ball playing PLAYERS, but old Dame
| Fortune was smiling serenly for them
also.
Childs would have liked to register
! several kicks but old Doc Sullivan is
8 hard man to dispute and even the
/ best Of 'cickers will realize that His
w'ndup fer pitch home was stopped
| So throw second and catch Bobbie
/ and the base umpire decided to let
| 8ohhie stay there. He caught him the
iitst time on the same kind Of throw
| but the umpire was gazing st the
! stars or somewhere. Docs judgement
or balls and strikes Is fine and onlf
players like Childs find the occasion
! 20 protest.
| l.ano's SCOOP on liner Just inside
! Of the third base was one Of the pret
/ ty bits Of fielding in the game Lee
1 picked hot one out of the grass
headed for the creek
| Lee is PLAYING under hard luck. He
was spiked in the left leg, run into
/ by base runner. and the same leg
suffered, and Wednesday was hit on
the left hip by pitched ball, all Of
| which has an effect on his fielding and
; he failed to cover his territory as
cleanly as he had been in the habit
OIL dong.
The rally in the ninth sure lookel
like comeback for a tie, but either
Childs or the catcher knows Robbie Of
old decided it would be policy to pass
him. A homer then with the bases
| filed would have tied the score and
filled the hearts Of the fans with SUI
preme joy. 81
All in all it was a good game and
| the fans We're treated to some real
ball playing. The doubles pulled by
both teams shows good head work.
