M0nddy, Jhly 4W.
The Gahler Colts from Saltwater broke
up the locals winning streak when they
punched hits in the third and fifth inn
ings that gave them 10 to count, in
six inning game. -
The game developed right off the reel
in smuggling match. Both teams accum-
ulated total of eleven hits each, while
= the locals eleven hits were equal to seven
teen bases and the visitors eleven hits
were for eleven bases only. The locals
had gift of FIVE bases, on balls and hit
batsmen, against the visitors four bases
presented to them and still the locals could
not win. Perhaps their defeat can be
traced directly to the "injury jinx," that
seems to be lowering in or near the locals
camp here of late The locals were hav-
ing things pretty much their own way
when, this mysterious "jinx" descended
among them like bolt of lightning from
the heavens, which seemed to strike fear
and terror to their athletic instincts.
Sher was the second victim of this "jinx"
in the last two days. He was accidently
and very unfortunately hit in the back of
the head with pitched ball that knocked
him completely senseless However, he
was soon revived to a certain degree and
on gaining his feet he made game try
to continue in the game by staggering to
first base midst the plandits of the whole
congregation. 1t was plainly to be seen
that he did not realize the full extent of
his injury, so the manager induced him
to leave the game and get some medical
treatment. When he was led off the
field by those in authority, his staggering
gait and continual sweeping of his arms,
gave every indication that he had not, as
yet, gained his complete conscientiousness.
Arndt was on the mound for the visitors
and he pitched good class of ball, with
the exceptions of being little wild at
times. He was hit rather freely all through
the game, especially so in the early chap
tiers. Several of the hits were for extra
bases.
VOL started to do the pitching for the
locals and he was all to the good until
the opening of the third frame. This
was the visitors big inning for nine men
came to bat before the side could be re-
tired By VOL hitting one of these bats
man, passing another on balls and allow
ing FIVE hits, five runs were counted and
one runner left stranded on the third
sack. The visitors handed the locals
goose egg in their turn at bat in this
frame, so the score was standing five to
six in favor of the visitors when VOL re-
tired.
Thorn took the helm at the opening of
the fourth but by him allowing two sin
giles and one long sacrifice fly, one score
was charged up to him in this frame.
When the locals came to bat they clouted
out three singles and one double that gave
them three runs which gave them one point
the best of the game and put the response
bility for the loss of the game on Thom's
shoulders.
With the opening of the fifth frame
things had progressed nicely for two outs
and when bounding grounder was hit
to liver that should have been the third
out and goose egg he promptly started
"jack pot" that resulted in the visitors
getting three runs and taking the lead two
points, before the side could be retired.
In the locals turn at bat all they could
