the walk in such manner as to fracture
the bones in his ankle. He was i'm
mediately carried to the local hospital
where first aid was given and then taken
it is impossible to state to what extent his
injury was but nevertheless all the local
fans as well as all members of the local
ball team, sympathize with the unfortunate
man, and all are in hopes of a speedy
recovery.
The locals lineup for Saturdays con-
test was far from being up to standard.
Two of their most dependable players
were not in uniform, Lob, their catcher,
and ON, their second baseman. With
these two men out of the game it put them
in an almost hopeless condition. How
Z ever, their pitching talent was increased
one hundred percent during the week,
with the addition of new recruit. He
was given a chance to introduce his wares
in Saturdays game and the goods he pro-
duced were far better than the average.
No matter how good a pitcher may be-, he
must have support and, the support the
locals gave their pitcher Saturday can be
expressed in one word, "rotten." Two of
the players that did play were cripples
and should have been on the bench but
they were forced into the game to fill up
vacancies.
The visitors forged ahead one run in
the first round when Wurst beat out an
infeld grounder for hit, then O'Connor
dumped one and Nell fumbled the ball
allowing both runners to be safe. Lerwold
struck out. Stoke got on by Iver's error,
filling the bases. Nelson grounded one to
Hic and he took felder's choice and
tossed out O'Connor at second, allowing
Wurst to score. Kachinsky struck out,
retiring the side. One hit, one run, two
errors.
In the third frame the visitors got two
more counters on three singles and sacri-
flee fly. In the fourth they counted once
more on single, passed ball and
couple of errors. The fifth frame should
have been short and scoreless but when
it was aided along with infeld errors, the
visitors were allowed to ring the bell
twice before the side were retired.
O'Connor led off with Texas leaguerer
to short right. Lerword struck out, but
Sokke hit into what should have been a
double play and retired the side. O'Con-
ner was forced out at second on the hit,
liver to Mye, but in completing the double
to first Hic dropped the ball, allowing
Stoke to be SAFE Nelson caught fast
one square on the nose, and he sent a
line drive to center that could have been
handled for the third out with proper
fielding but the ball got by the fielder, re-
sulting in home run for Nelson, and
scoring Stoke ahead of him. Kachinsky
struck out. Two hits, two runs, two
errors.
The sixth and last chapter of the. game
was the visitors big inning and they run
This was easily accomplished when Bur
refused to rally to the defense of the locals
in the last frame, and in consequence
thereof, Sher was called in from the field
to do the backstop work. Nell was too
speedy for him and after he had allowed
three balls to pass in succession, and as
many runs to score, he quit the game
This left the locals with no backstop at ALL
but Bon took up the burden of being pum-
meled for the balance of the game. Dur
ing the visitors term at bat in this Frame
they connected for two singles and
double that was aided along with five
errors, giving the visitors five runs and
tieing up the score.
In the first round for the locals, they
failed to do any scoring but in the second
they got real busy and registered six times
on two passes, FIVE hits and three errors.
