The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1921-06-09

into consideration the baseball talent that
has developed here during the past two
weeks. The additional pitching talent,
combined with the reconstruction of the
locals infield defense, was the leading fac
tor in the visitors overwhelming defeat.
In the former game, VOL, our one and
only veteran pitcher, did the slab work.
He pitched beautiful game, holding his
opponents to four hits and yet they were
successful in getting one earned run off
his deliveries. This one and only run
was obtained in the seventh on a single
and triple. Sixteen batters who faced
him, laid down their war clubs at the
plate and walked back to the bench with
sad and mournful faces.
lhomp, who was recently signed by
the manager as recruit pitcher, was on
the mound for the locals, with Lob on the
receiving end. He was perfectly able to
dish up just exactly what Lob called for
and by doing so he handed out to his
opponets, goose egg after goose egg, until
they had nine of them in row. He had
the visitors completely at his mercy all the
way and at no time did any South Still
waterite advance any farther on the run
way, than the second station. In the fifth
and ninth frames they had runner reach
this point of the circuit but they got no
farther. Up to the opening of the ninth
1t looked as though the visitors might
stage a ninth inning batting rally. After
allowing two singles in succession he
settled down and became master of the
occasion by striking out two men and the
other went out on an infeld fly. His de-
tensive work was exceptionally good. He
had total of five chances and accepted
all without slip. Out of four trips to
the bat, he got single and walk and
figured twice in the score column. He
allowed only four safe hits and sixteen
batters were compelled to lay down their
arms at the plate for lack of knowledge
in solving the scientific problems.
Hogberg did the heavy work for the
visitors for the first six and two-thirds
innings. In the early chapters he tried
to stage repeater of the game he pitched
on May 21st and in his eagerness to do
SO ne plainly showed pail of nervousness
that resulted in extreme wild pitching. He
passed six men on balls and hit one bats
man and when he did get them over he
was hit rather freely and especially so in
the last half of the seventh frame, when
he retired from the game with only two
men gone. Berger took the burden of
pitching the remainder of the game The
first ball he pitched catcher H. Beberg
got ruptured finger, causing his retire
ment from the game. This weakened the
visitors team so badly that the game was
hopelessly lost for them.
The locals hung up their first counters
in the last half of the third chapter. liver
led off by hitting single to left. Bur
tried to dump one for sacrifice but Hog
berg fumbled the ball, allowing Bur to
reach first, on the first error of the game.
Yves was hit with pitched ball, clogging
the bases. ON hit high fly to right
that should have been an easy out but
Lehver fumbled the ball allowing liver to
score. Bona went out on pop fly to
Berger. Lob got a single that scored
Bur and Yves. Sher hit fast grounder
to Goulette and he was responsible for a
fast double play. ON tried to score on
the hit so Goulette took felders choice
and threw out ON at the plate During
this play Lob tried to reach third Lob
was tagged out, H. Beberg to Goulette,
retiring the side. Two hits, three runs,
two errors.
The locals scored no more until the last
half of the seventh. Thomp led off by
cracking bounding grounder through
Underwood for single. liver drew
pass on balls and Thomp scored on Bur's
