The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1921-06-16

came thoroughly exhausted from running
the bases
The game opened up with Thomp in
the box for the locals and after six men
had faced him at bat, four of them scored,
leaving two on the runway and none out,
when the manager called halt in the
game to yank him from the box and
sent in"~Wol to take up the burden.
The prospects of winning the game now,
caused the locals to fight an uphill game.
VOL, however, proved to be able to put
a damper on the visitors hitting and by
doing so he retired the side in rapid sue
cession, leaving the two runners stranded
on the base lines. This ended the visitors
scoring until the opening of the seventh
frame, when the visitors were allowed to
get three counters all of them of the
earned run variety. We, "the SCRIBE" are
making no pretense at all in alibing VOL
out of these runs, for during the six sue
cessive frames, prior to the seventh, only
three men in each frame were allowed to
come to bat. But when the seventh rolled
around he passed two on balls, allowed
one sacrifice and two singles that gave
the visitors three runs.
Silgen started to do the twirling for the
visitors. He pitched good class of ball
but he was given poor support by his
teammates. The last half of the first inn
ing saw the locals hang up two counters
off his deliveries that came by the way
of base on O'Donnell's error, a single
and three-bagger. The second stanza
was the locals big frame in the line of
scoring. By Silgen passing one on balls,
hitting one batsman, allowing three sim
giles that were aided with four infeld
errors, the locals accumulated six runs be
fore the side were retired.
With the opening of the last half of
the third chapter, Fulweler, who is port
side artist was given a chance to show
his wares. But it did not take the locals
long to solve his problems for they
pounded out couple of singles and
two-bagger, that gave them two runs in
the third. The fourth saw them get one
more score on couple of singles, an in
field error and a passed ball. The fifth
was hummer for long hits and they all
came with none on the bases. Neverthe-
less, the local fans went wild with joy to
see their favorites slam out two circuit
drives in succession and to complete the
climax three-bagger followed immediate
ly upon their wake. The three-base hit
did not develop into a score, for Lob was
thrown out on an infeld grounder retir-
ing the side, leaving only the two home
runs as counters.
In the sixth and last frame for the locals
to come to bat, every member of the team
were given chance to take a wallop at
the ball. A base on balls, a sacrifice,
single, double and three-bagger, gave
the locals four more runs.
Bona was the leading batter of the day,
so far as extra bases were concerned.
And yet, out of all the hard hitting that
he accomplished, he was responsible for
only one run batted in. Out of five pos
sible trips to bat, he got sacrifice, sin
gle and two three-baggers.
liver had very busy day around second
base in making putouts. Three of the
outs he made he was assisted by Lob when
three daring runners attempted to steal
from first. Twice he was assisted by Mye
and once by Bona.
During the progress of Saturdays game
one of the local batsman came to bat when
the bases were loaded. He hit lively
grounder to the first baseman who could
not put out the batter, unassisted, so he took
a felder's choice and threw to third and
the third baseman could not get the run
ner advancing from second, so he took
another felders choice and threw the ball
home, putting out the runner. This par
