Sunday afternoon enjoyed a good ex-
hibltion of baseball for so early in the
season. The game being i'm the ma
ture OF try-Out, the various PLAYERS
who participated were frequently
changed around from one position to
another and as the result of this and
other try-out practice, the lineup of
the team is now taking form.
At least as far as the score is con-
cerned, Sundays game looked like
league stuff the score being tied at
l and 1 at the opening of the ninth in
ming. In the final session. both sides
staged Il rally and the game ended 4
to 3.
The game started with Ellingson
and Hamblin as opposing pitchers.
Both made fine showing. Ellingson
pitched four innings without allowing
single hit. The run that the oppos-
ing team tailed up in the fourth in
ming was the result of the combination
of base on balls, a sacrifice hit and
an error.
Pitchers Are Effective
Iiamblin struck out eleven men in
five innings, allowing five hits. One
run resulted, in the fifth inning. Burns,
ii "SOuthpaw," followed Ellingson and
pitched safely until the ninth inning,
when a single, double and an error
let in three runs.
Fields succeeded Hamblin and struck
out six men in two innings No runs.
BackhuS pitched the eighth and ninth,
two runs being scored in the latter.

Rescued and Taken Home Where
Left Leg Is Found Badly
Injured

Pinned for several minutes under an
automobile on Worden-av., opposite the
highschoOl building, was an experience
which Paul Braun, 219 w. Third-st..,
does not care to endure again.
Mr.. Braun was riding a bicycle to
his work at the sulphite plant of the
Great Western Paper Co., at about one
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon going
east on the south side of Worden-av.

ing two teams going west on the north
side of the street, ran out with his
Ford car from behind the teams in an
attempt to pass them, not seeing the
bicyclist on the opposite side OF the
street. 1t appears that SkrypcZak be-
came confused and ran into the ditch,
throwing the rider under the car. The
victim of the accident was pinned be-
tween his bicycle and the auto, the
front axle Of the car resting an
Brauns left leg just below the hip.
The drivers OF the teams, who wit

painful position, and A. j. Wmnige,

Brauns injured leg was not broken,
but was painfully hurt and he will
be laid up for some days
Mr.. SkrypcZak later visited Mr..

to recompense him so far as possible
for the results of the accident:
