The old time rivals, Litchfie1d and
Willmar, locked horns last Sunday IT.
ternoon on the local grounds and at
the close Of twelve innings of wrest-
ling brot the game to a deadlock at
six O'Clock after which hour the state
Sunday baseball.law prohibits further
playing. The final standing was to
4. During the three additional inn
ings neither team was able to push
across run. Wilhnar during two of
these innings had as many as three
men On bases and not man down and
yet failed to score. At times she had
two men on bases and no man out and
streak of poor luck entered and the
desired run was denied the local fans.
The most interesting frame of the
game for the home team outside of
the additional innings which are al
ways intensely fascinating when a
crowd begs for runs and, hopes and
hopes to SECURE same, was the eighth.
During that inning two runs were
made which tied the score. Litchfield
had chalked down single scorings N
four innings. In the eighth three Will
mar men registered singles, filling the
sacks. Kielty, who has two homers
to his credit this season, then stepped
to the plate and satisfied somewhat at
least the yearning Of the crowd FOR
a long slam by singing and giving
Willmar a run. Berry who was next
up walked and another run was chalk
ed down, being forced in.
Wilmar's other two -runs were
made in the fifth on two Litchfield err
rors and two singles. Litchfield Sc
cured a run in the second, third,
fourth and seventh innings. In the
fourth inning three singles gained the
tally for Litc11feld
Christian tho touched quite freely
at times held fast during the pinches
and with good support at critical
Stages can be given due credit for a
we'll engineered game. He moved
