BASEBALL

The local baseball tribe by concentrating
their hitting almost entirely in two inn
ings, with Pilot Pf on the mound and
veteran Wor, as backstop, "Cap's sluggers"
won their second game from the Paine
Webber & Co., from St. Paul by a count
of IL to 5, in six inning game. Outside
of two carelessly played innings when the
team from the Capitol City registered their
runs, the local tribe was in good condition.
The visitors had a fast working gang
last Saturday and from the way the game
opened up it looked as if the locals were
going to be annihilated right on the spot.
A base on an error and hit opened the
game but both the hit and error went for
naught when the base runners became
greedy and tried to run the bases by the
wholesale and were put out Pf settled
down to the work of the afternoon and for
the remainder of the game he pitched the
class of ball that sends the fans home hun
CRY and In good humor. While his team
mates were sewing up the battle by their
offensive work he grew lenent and lifted
considerable of the juice off of his deliver
les. At that, all the runs the visitors got
should have been eliminated from the
game Glaring errors of omission by the
defensive was responsible for all runs.
The first tallies the visitors got were due
directly to one of these mental miscues. 1t
arrived in the opening of the second inn
ing after Carter had reached first on
single. On Lannon's boundings grounder
to Dts, both runners should have been re-
tired with ease. Dts handled the ball in
big league style but Fos dropped the bali,
allowing both runners to be safe. Krest
struck out and Falon went out on pop fly
to Pf. Mitchell drew pass on balls, fill
ing the bases. 1t was at this stage of the
game that another brainstorm was brewing
and it developed into an awful error of
OMISSION when Sanders hit high fly to
right field where the fielder hardly had to
move out of his tracks to be in line of its
course. He muffed the ball, allowing
Carter and Lennon to score, Mitchell went
to third and Sanders came to roost at
second. A moment later, Mitchell scored
on a passed ball by Wor. Nelson finally
struck out, retiring the side.
On another combination of hits and
errors, the visitors were presented with
two more tallies in the sixth and last fra
cas-. Schmidt got single and went to
second on passed ball. Carter went out
on fly to Dts. Lennon tried to drive a
single through third but Shu made a
grandstand spear of the ball, only to MARI
his play by throwing it away at first, al
lowing Schmidt to score and Lannon ad-
vanced to second. Krest went out on a
fly to Gall but Falon got a single, scoring
side.
Sanders was the locals pitching op-
ponent in the opening of the game. For a
time it looked as if he was going to have
everything his own way. He struck out
five men in the first two rounds and
yielded two hits that would have been un-
productive with perfect playing. In the
conclusion of the third frame, the local
slugging crew nicked him for couple OF
singles, double, triple, and home
run that was responsible for the locals six
counters in this stanza. This sort of bonn
bardment seemed to be more than Sanders
could bear, so he took up his position in
left field, Doyle retiring from the game
and Delar going into the box. He got
away very nicely in the fourth round but
