The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1920-06-03

seemed sl to stimulate the local players chuck
full of pep and ginger. While the WISH
Tor were were, warming S,, Up before the game,
they could plainly see that it was a case
for them to pay air tight ball if they
~efe so,"s 60 give them any race at all
loi INC ,Aurels of the day. The visitors
.a'Ne mere under the name of "The Zoo
= ,Ars" from Saltwater. They were we'll
organized and put up gallant battle
before they went down to defeat in
to 8 victory for the locals. Only one man
out in the ninth inning when the win
ming score was made.
Ponthar who pitched for the visitors
was In excellent form. He struck out
total of ten men and had held the locals
to only three scattered hits for eight sue
cessive innings. But during the last half
of the ninth, the locals wrecking crew
were the first men up and they very
promptly landed on him for single and
two, two base hits which gave them the
victory for the day.
Wells who worked upon the mound
for the locals was in good shape and
pitched stellar ball. The farther he went
the better he seemed to get, for a glance
over his strike out record goes to prove
this theory. He had only struck out one
man in the first six innings of the game
but in the seventh he hung two of his op-
ponents scalps on his belt and the ninth
frame he added two more making a total
of five in all. He passed none on balls,
hit no batsman nor issued no wild pitches.
But his opponents gathered total of nine
hits off his deliveries although they were
unable to produce hits when hits meant
scores for them. His teammates gave him
wonderful support and especially so around
the third station. Eros who covered that
territory had total of eleven chances.
He accepted ten of them in semi-profes-
sional form. The one he slipped upon
did no material damage for the runner
was left stranded upon second base.
Iver's work at short stop was splendid
even though he had only three possible
chances to come his way he handled them
without slip. One of them was very
difficult problem for him to solve which
came his way as short outfeld fly. by
making long hard run he was able to
catch the ball as it came hurting through
space over his shoulder when he was
running with the fight of the ball. This
catch of his brought forth a general up
roar of applauding among the local fans.
Lob who worked around the second sta
ton covered that territory in good style.
He had only four chances and accepted
all without bobble. By all the local
players putting up such cast iron defensive
work, they were able to hold the visitors
scoreless for six successive innings. The
clouds of defeat gathered in the seventh
frame and hung in dense form over the
diamond. They began to gather when
McGarry beat out an in6eld grounder for
a safe hit. Then Loney drove one out to
center field and under any ordinary cir
cumstance it should of been only two
Dagger or three Dagger at the most.
However, the ball bounded onto the cement
sidewalk leading to the dining hall and
continued to roll thereon until it spent its
momentum. By the time the fielder had
recovered the ball, Loney had completed
the circuit of the bases, giving him home
run and scoring McGarry ahead of him.
Parker struck out, making two men gone,
and still the clouds of doom lowered
about, for Pummerville the next man up
was safe at first when Hicks dropped a
thrown ball. He then stole second base
and scored on Bur's heave of the ball to
center field. Hoy was thrown out Eros
to Hick, retiring the side, with the visi-
tors now having lead of two points in
the game. This lead seemed to be quite
sufficient to win the game, for the locals
