Belvidere and Kadoka
Play Fast Ball Game

The Belvidere Base Ball team
came up Sunday and that after
noon tangled with the local pets
of Manager Frybcrger in one of
the fastest and cleanest played
games of ball that the fans will
have an opportunity of witnessing
this season. The final score was
To in favor Of Kadoka and the
winning run was put across by
the locals in an exciting ninth
inning finish after two men were
out. The game throughout was
featured With fast playing by
both teams and enough stick work
was INDUCED in to keep the fans
IN a turmoil of excitement all the
ime. and it was anybody's game
until the last half Of the ninth.
Paul Csburn did his first mound
luty of the season and while his
arm is still sore he threw a good
nticle of ball but did not extend
limsclf TO any great extent. Bill
lie Norton has recovered sufficient
from his recent illness and pick
Il the hot ones Off the bat, and he
will continue throughout the Sc
ason with the local tribe. He is
good all-round player and hard
litter and is a valuable addition
% the fast bunch now wearing
he Kadoka uniform. Osburn al
owed six hits, gave no passes, hit
lone of the Belvidere batters, and
struck out nine. In the third inn
ing he moved them down three
straight.
"Cy' Vanderbilt was the slab
artist for Belvidere and he threw
mighty classy article of ball,
having all kinds Of steam and lots
Of hop to the sphere, and while
touched up for ten safe swats he
kept them well scattered with the
exception of the fourth when the
local took kindly to his slants for
four bingles. He punctured the
Stats of two of the kadoka lads,
gave free transportation to one,
and maa4, ssii,e of the 5attcrs sw-
ng at the breeze.
The first and second innings the
locals could do nothing, but in the
third Maytum was issued a pass to
first, Ted Gilchrist hit fast one
that went through Thomas at
second and when the ball was re-
covered Maytum was on ilird and
Ted recovering his breath at Sec
ond. Buff Solon then lammcd the
pill for two sacks and the two
runners came home. In the first
of the fourth the Belvidere boys
came back strong and tied up the
score. After Morford and Wander
bilt had went down Roy Roose
got on and completed the circle
when Harry Roose sent the ball
sailing down the left field foul
inc for binglc that was good for
hrce bags, and he scored NOM
ant later when Bockes singled.
The fourth netted nothing for
.ither team but the locals annex
ID two more to their totals in the
last Of the fifth. Maytum sing
ed, going to second on Ted Gil
.hrist's hit and scoring when Buff
Solon tapped the ball for single.
Ted was out at second, Buff pilfer
I'd the second bag and romped
home when Osburn tapped the
ball for two sacks No runs were
made or hardly threatened until
the first Of the eighth when Bel
'idere again tied the score by
putting two men over on nice
assorted bunch of errors by the
local players. Thomas hit, and
when Vanderbilt sent the ball
down the third base line every
one was safe on an error by third
Morford got to first, sending
Thomas and Vanderbilt to third
and second when a short bunt got
away from the local pitcher and
both the latter scored on a sizZ-
ling single by X. Roose. With the
score tied the game progressed
until the last half Of the ninth
inning. J. Norton struck out,
Bradley, batting for Nielsen, sent
a hot one down the first base
line but was out at that bag.
With two down Texley came to
bat and sent slashing single ov-
er into short right field and stole
second, Maytum was walked and
Ted Gilchrist gripped his willow
war club good and tight and slap
ped the pill right in the face with
swat that sent Texley over the
pan with the winning run that
added another game to Kadoka's
string of victories.
