The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1922-08-17


was at bat and the local fans were clam
moring with all their might for a hit but
the best he could do was to pop up a
short fly to Coverdale. 1t was up to Hen
then to bring in Eos from third. He
only took look at three slants and struck
at every one for the third out That was
all in the scoring line until the seventh
frame. But in both the intermediate frames,
Steil was pulled out of couple of pretty
bad holes, with banners still flying. With
one man gone in the fifth, Ny walloped
out three-bagger to left that surprised,
even the natives. The fans were all on
edge again, begging for hit to score Ny.
Wor went out on an infeld grounder to
Voges, unassisted, but before the out was
made Ny was kept lowering on third. Pr
went out on an infeld fly to Buttner that
retired the side. Then in the sixth with
two hands out, Eos walloped out triple
to left, that brought all the visiting fans
to their feet, as one, to witness the flight
of the ball. Then with Gall to bat many
of the local fans had visions of another
triple following in succession. But, alas!
he retired the side by grounding out,
Coverdale to Voges
In the seventh chapter the locals regis
tered once and on account of base runner
forgetting how many hands were out, de-
prived them of one more run. Hen made
the first man to go when he was tossed
out, Steil to Voges. Sher got a double to
right center, went to third on a passed
ball and on Ny's infeld grounder, Sher
scored on a miscued felder's choice and
Ny was safe at first Ny stole second
while Wor was striking out. Pf lifted
high fly that was somewhere near the
outer right field and second base. On
the instant the ball left the bat, Ny should
have made dash for home. But instead
he lowered around second base, watching
the play until he saw the ball was not
caught, then it dimmed upon his conscience
that two men were gone and he should
be racing for home. 1t was then too late
for Sudor had recovered the ball and very
promptly threw him out at the plate for
the third out.
In the eighth round the locals had a
wonderful chance to either tie up the score
or win the game. The prospective scores
were in sight and it was all up to Ny to
smash out the hit that would bring them
in. Shu led off by getting thrown out,
Martin to Voges. Dts worked Steil for
free transportation on balls, was advanced
to second on Fos' single and scored on
Calls single to center. Hen went out on
a foul fly to Buttner. Sher got a free
ticket on balls, that filled the bases with
something more than sawdust. After Ny
had taken his position in the batting box,
Steil delayed the game long enough to
hold verbal conference with his catcher.
Of course no one knows what was said
between them, but at any rate it seemed
that they got results for Ny finally struck
out, retiring the side and shattering the
locals prospects of winning the game.
They tried hard to stage batting rally
in the ninth, but fortune would not favor
them. Wor led off with single but he
never advanced in safety from the initial
sack, for Pf went out on fly to Martin,
Shu went out on fly to Coverdale and
Wor was forced out at second on Dts in
field grounder, Coverdae to Martin.
Steil allowed total of nine hits, three of
them for extra bases which were equiva-
lent to fourteen bases in all. He struck
out five men, passed three on balls and
hit one batsman. He had Al support
which enabled him to maintain the lead
his teammates had obtained in the early
chapters.
Pr, the locals twirer got in bad dur
ing the two first encounters. Even so, he
pitched winning class of ball and the
