IRON MOUNTAIN AND ALPHA-CRYS-
tai FALLS PLAYED FAST BALL
WAS BEST GAME THIS YEAR
One Iron Mountain Player Gets
"Peeyed" and Induces Comrades
to Leave Field

The Iron Mountain ball team came
up here last Sunday and engaged Al
pha-Crystal Falls in one OF the pref
tiest games Of base ball we have seen
in years-while II lasted But the old
Midway spirit prevailed and the
visitors allowed one OF their boys,
who got "peeved", TO bust up" the
game, and take them all home before
II was finished, for absolutely no rea-
son
The break up occurred In the 7th,
after the only two runs OF the game
had come in, with gone. W. John
son for the locals, was on first and
Kinney, at bat, hit one for three bases
close TO the foul line, but fair by two
feet. Daniels, the Iron Mountain left
fielder claimed Il was foul ball and
quit the game cold, at the same time
talking the rest OF the visiting team
into quitting. II is claimed this is
not the first time he has pulled the
same trick
Umpire Lynch was at the home plate
when the ball was hit so there was no
chance for mistake. Tedeski, 3rd
baseman for the Iron Mountain team
told the writer that the ball was fair
One OF the largest crowds that attend
ed a ball game so far this year was
present TO witness the game and II Is
to be regretted that the 'kiddish" ac-
tions on the part OF one of the visiting
players was responsible for the sud
den ending Of good game OF base
ball.
One regretable feature OF the game
was the fact that during the wrangl-
ing over the game in the seventh, the
fans started crowding out in the field.
The management wishes 1t to be
known hereafter that no one but nm
pires and players will be allowed In
the enclosure And, boys, remember,
Just because you know one OF the
players doesn't entitle you to a seat
in the dog house"
Before giving a detailed account of
the game by innings we want to say |
a word regarding the good work OF |
Umpire Lynch. His work last Sunday |
showed that he knows base ball from |
start TO finish and came in for con-
siderable praise. from local as well
as Iron Mountain fans in the way he
handled the game.
Evans, pitcher for the Alpha-Crys-
tai Falls team, also deserves special
mention. He pitched a great game and
was getting stronger as the game pro-
gressed. Blackhall, pitching for Iron
Mountain, was good, but the locals
found him often, the hits mostly going
straight into the hands OF the players.
