BASEBALL

Saturday, Sept. 18th, the All Stars base
ball team from St. Paul came out victor.
ious in five inning game with the locals
by score of to 3.
The All Stars were principally com.
posed of the best amateur baseball talent
in St. Paul. Some of the players have
been here earlier in the season when they
represented other teams.
The day was not an ideal one for the
National sport. There was an excep-
tionally heavy wind and at times there
were vertible dust clouds sweeping over
the diamond that would suspend play for
few minutes or in case ball was hit
into the air it was almost impossible to
judge its flight. However, the game was
played on an equal basis so far as the
weather was concerned, and if only earned
runs would count in winning game then
Saturdays contest would have ended in a
tie, to 1.
Gardell started to do the box work for
the visitors, with Schmidt as his back
stop. Gardell worked only three innings
and during that time he allowed FIVE safe
hits, struck out six men and passed one on
balls. Larson came to his rescue with the
opening of the fourth round and he
pitched one inning. During his period in
the box, he struck out one man and passed
two on balls.
Lindberg pitched the last inning and
Klue performed as backstop for his twis-
ters. He struck out one man and issued
one wild pitch.
VOL did the artillery work for the locals
with Burn as his back stop. For the first
two innings his work was as near invin-
chile as pitcher can be, for the first
three men to face him went out by the
strikeout route and the next three men to
face him went out in rapid succession,
with one more strikeout sandwiched in be-
tween. But the third round saw him
struggling with considerable opposition
and before the melee was over, two un-
earned runs had been chalked up to the
visitors credit. Hank led off in this stan
"a by being thrown out, Lob to Hick and
Kubiak struck out. Gardell's single over
second put him safely on the runway
Klue drove out liner to left field for a
single and when the fielder failed to field
it on the first bound, Gardell scored and
Klue went to second on the error. Carroll
lifted high infeld fly that should have
been an easy out for either VOL or Burn
but during the mix up they let it land
safely for safe hit and Klue scored from
second base on the misplay. Jackson
struck out retiring the side.
Then in the fourth frame, VOL got into
bad position right off the jump. By
number of singles made by his opponents
one we'll earned run was made, while two
others were given them for good measure.
Schmidt led off with single and was
advanced to second on Larson's single.
Lindberg dumped one in front of the
plate and Schmidt was thrown out at
third. Hank went out on fly to ON
and Larson scored on Kubiak's single.
With a runner on third Kubiak went to
second with no opposition. At this stage
of the game with two men gone the batter
was the man to play for. However, Gar
dell was at bat and Larson was taking
long leads off third with each delivery of
the ball and Burn could not resist the temp
tation to throw the ball to that corner
and in doing so he threw wild allowing
both runners to score. Gardell struck out,
retiring the side and ending their scoring.
When VOLS pitching record was summed
up. be allowed eight safe hits, struck out
seven men and passed one on balls.
The locals earned run was obtained in
