Saturday, May Is, 1921.

Last Saturday, May 2Sth, the st. Paul
Milk Company's baseball tossers mounded
the locals grounds and were allowed to
carry off the Cream" by score of to
in six inning contest, where errors were
the principal feature of the game.
Thomp, new recruit, started to do
the artillery work for the locals and he
had Bur working on the receiving end.
Thomp seems to have the ability in put
ting plenty of stuff on the ball and when
it comes for speedy one, he sure is there
with the goods. 1t really was no fault
of his that the game was lost, even though
all the visitors scoring was made off his
pitching. The loss of the game for him
can be attributed to his misfortune in I'M
dertaking to pitch when the balance of his
teammates was overpossesed with an
eagerness to show their ability. Every
time the ball came their way it looked
more to them like a balloon than COM
mon baseball. The general results were
muffing fumbling wild throwing, and in
fact all sorts of errors that are imaginable
in ball game. Up to the opening of the
fourth stanza he had held the visitors to
two scattered hits and yet they had &C
cumulated total of three runs, one in the
second and two in the third. By the visi-
tors getting three scratch hits in the fourth
that were aided by as many errors, they
managed to get three more counters, CIV
ing them a six to one margin when
Thomp retired from the game. During
his period of pitching he allowed five
safe hits, struck out five men, and no
earned runs were made off his deliveries.
VOL took the helm at the opening of the
fifth frame and he was fortunate enough
to hold the visitors scoreless for the balance
of the game. He allowed two hits, struck
out three men and passed one on balls.
Johnson started the mound work for the
visitors He retired from the game after
he had pitched two balls to the first batter
in the last half of the fifth frame. His
pitching was quite effective, for during
his period in the box he had held the
locals to four safe hits, struck out three
men and passed two on balls. However,
the locals were successful in scoring one
run in the opening chapter. A base hit,
a sacrifice and couple of errors were re-
sponsible for this run. When johnson
was relieved in the fifth frame by Else
menger the latter met with considerable
opposition in keeping the locals from
overcoming five point lead and winning
the game. By him passing two men on
balls, allowing single and sacrifice,
that were aided by as many errors in wild
throwing, two scores were made before
the side was retired. However, these
were not of the earned run variety.
In the last half of the sixth frame the
locals should have tied up the score, but
instead they fell one behind, all on account
of over-anxiousness in coaching slow run
ners to advance on the slimest proposition.
In this frame Tho'ki led off by being
thrown out, Eisemenger to Anderson.
VOL got safely on by a single to left. AS
the locals wrecking crew was now COM
ing to bat in order and only one man
gone, things looked rather promising.
VOL, however not being any faster on the
bases than some numbering war tank in
action, it was up to the coacher at first
to hold him there and wait for hit.
But on the second ball delivered to liver,
the catcher dropped it, and the coacher
in his eagerness to see VOL safe on second,
urged him on in what proved to be an
easy out, Goldberg to Houle. The next
ball delivered to liver, he smashed it out
for two stations. This would have landed
VOL on third if he had been held on
first Yves hit out an infeld grounder and
reached first safely on Anedrson's error
and liver scored on the same, while Yves
was entitled to advance one peg. Bon
hit lively grounder to right for a two
