baseball aggregation to come from behind
and win the game by score of to 8.
1t was very pretty and interesting
game to witness in the early chapters.
The breaks in the game during the early
stages had favored the locals to such
degree that they were able to grab two
run lead and from the way the game had
been progressing these two runs seemed
to be sufficient to win the game. How
ever, the "hoodo" that has been in the
locals camp for the past few weeks was
present again in Saturdays contest but he
did not make his presence known until the
last frame. Then, all became confusion
and turmoil for the locals went "up in the
air" and every time the little pill came
their way it looked as big as balloon to
them. Before they could settle down to
their regular pace of ball playing, the Wis
itors had taken every advantage offered
them and by so doing they put the game
Or ice for keeps.
All was quiet in the score column until
the last half of the third stanza. San
drew pass to first on balls and went to
second on Bonas single. A moment later
San was caught asleep off second and was
thrown out, Thompson to Alquist to
Dahalstrom. Bona took advantage of the
putout and sprinted to second. O'Brien
failed to handle Dahalstrom's peg to
second and Bona raced on for third. Al
quist who recovered the ball made a wild
throw to third allowing Bona to score.
Eros went out on fly to Alquist. ON
drove hot liner right back at the pitcher
who was only too anxious to get out of
its way and let it speed out into center
field for a triple. Hick struck out, retir-
ing the side.
In the fourth frame the visitors drew a
blank, but in the locals turn at bat they
connected for one more count. Bud led
off in this frame for a single through
short, was advanced to second on Burns
sacrifice and scored on Iver's single. Lob
went out on fly to Thompson and San
struck out.
No more runs were scored on either side
until the. opening of the sixth chapter. The
visitors led off strong in this frame and
it was only by the locals putting off very
fast double play that they held them in
check. Alquist led off with a double to
right and scored on Thompson's double to
left. Garner hit liner to liver and was
an easy out, while Thompson was tossed
out, liver to Lob. Davis struck out, re-
firing the side, with the score now stand
ing two to one in. the locals favor and
this is the way it stood until the opening
of the eighth and last stanza.
R. Mclean led off in this frame by
striking out. Alquist got safely on the
runway when Hick failed to cover the
bag. Thompson got single that moved
Alquist up one peg. Garner dumped
one in front of the plate and Burn
made a wild throw to first allowing
Alquist to score, Thompson came to
anchor at third and Garner went to
second on the error. Davis hit out slow
grounder that lodged between Loh's legs
which allowed Thompson to score. Bud
who came in out of the field to back up
the play, allowed the ball to get by him,
so Garner took chances from third and
scored on Buds error. Meantime by the
ball being booted around second base,
Davis was obliged to stay on first. When
the play was resumed, Davis tried to pill
fer second. In his try he made beauti-
full slide and ate about a peck of dust.
He was called out and Immediately he
started to protest the decision, thinking
he had been short changed. However, no
one else saw it in that light. Dahalstrom
went out on fly to Eros, retiring the side.
