BASEBALL
Saturday, September 3, 1921.

The Montgomery Ward & Cos base
ball tossers from St. Paul, not being salts
fed with the decisive defeat the locals
handed them on July 30th, came back
last Saturday and got "sweet revenge" by
completely reversing the tables of the for
mer game and taking the long end of
IS to count, in six inning game.
VOL and Thorn, who hurled the former
game against the Montgomerites, held
them at bay while their teammates
pounded out fifteen hits, off pitcher
Marsch, that gave them total of four
teen runs. VOL worked the first FIVE
innings and held the visitors to seven
scattered hits but on account of several
errors sandwiched in between, five runs
were charged to him, so Thorn pitched
the last two frames and he held the visi-
tors hitless and scoreless. But in Satur-
days game there is a different story to
tell. The game opened up with Thorn
on the mound for the locals. He was
touched up for three singles, in the first
round, that were aided along with two
errors, giving the visitors two runs. He
pitched to only four batters in the second
round when he was yanked from the box.
One of these got on the runway by Cars
error, while the two batsmen following,
connected for singles, loading the bases.
The next one was hit with pitched ball,
forcing in one run. This ended Thom's
period in the box and VOL was sent out
to relieve him with the bases jammed, and
the visitors wrecking crew coming to bat,
and none out. Conant, the first man to
face VOL, went out on a pop fly to liver;
but Marsch connected for single, scoring
two runners. DesJerdian smashed one out
for four stations, cleaning up the bases,
and Hanson, Just to make sure that Des
Jerdian had left no runners on the run
way, smashed out another home run.
Lundstrom was tossed out, Mye to Hic,
and Porter was thrown out, Yves to Hic,
sending the visitors to the field, elated
with the fact that they had driven one
pitcher from the mound, and had seriously
affected the pitching morale of another.
In the third stanza the visitors scored
once more, but with perfect fielding they
should have went scoreless, even though
they connected for two, three baggers.
johnson was thrown out, Mye to Hic, but
Coates got on by Iver's error and scored
on Otto's three Dagger. Otto was thrown
out at the plate when he tried to stretch
the hit into homer. Conant got triple
but he was left stranded on third when
Marsch went out by Hic, unassisted.
In the fourth two more runs were regis
tered off from single and couple Of
doubles. Des Jeridian and Hanson struck
out. Lundstrum drove one through liver
for single and on an attempted theft of
second, he was allowed to complete the
circuit on Mitch's wild throw. Porter
got two bagger to right and scored on
Johnson's double to left. Coates went out
by Hic, unassisted. One more run was
scored in the fifth off of three singles and
another wild throw by Mitch to third.
This ended the visitors scoring, for some
miracle, unbeknown, the locals handed the
visitors goose egg in the sixth CHAPTER.
Coates was on the mound for the visi-
tors and he pitched sterling ball all the
way. He had nothing up his sleeve for
he relied entirely on an overhanded swift
ball and this was quite sufficient, for the
local swatters have relaxed into hitting
slump, here of late, and the leading hitters
of the team have went hungry for hits
during the last few games played. Coates
held the locals to four scattered hits and
only one earned run can be charged to
him, and this came in the second chapter,
when Bon led off with triple to left and
scored on Hyn's in6eld out One more
score came in the fourth by the way of
single, sacrifice, a wild pitch, and a
passed ball by Johnson.
