tory which has played the same quality of
teams as we have played and excel this
record. Our last and most humble defeat
can be ascribed to pure bad luck and mis-
fortune.
"Cap" has been hard pressed for some
time in getting more pitching talent. In
scouting around very recently he unearthed
new twirler who opened up Saturdays
game. He is large fellow, quite capable
of smoking 'em" by, on most any batter.
He seemed to take everything with smile
on his face and gave every indication of
being master of his position. However, he
was in no condition to enter into Satur-
days contest. Not having had any previous
workouts with his teammates, put him in a
position where he had no confidence in
any one. On account of him having no
recreation for some time past would
naturally cause his muscles to be relaxed
and soft, rendering him almost useless for
pitching. However, he showed up good
in the three frames he worked and we
have the opinion that after he gets few
workouts and has partaken quite freely of
"Cap's" special rations of cayenne pepper
and raw meat that he will be able to pro-
duce the goods. Sinberg the first man to
face him, fouled out to Eos and Paper
grounded out Shu to Gall. LaBiss was
passed on balls and on Vigerust's grounder
to Dts, Paper was forced out at second,
Dts to Del, but the Umps ruled other
wise. Fahey got double to center that
scored Paper and LaBiss. Farrell poled
out triple to right center, scoring Fahey.
Hanson was safe at first on Calls error
and Farrell scored on the same. Hanson
was thrown out, Eos to Phi to Del, retiring
the side with two hits four runs and one
error.
In the opening of the third round the
Cows got their only earned runs in the
game. Paper led off with a single to
short left and pilfered second. He was ad-
vanced to third on La Bliss infeld out,
Del to Gall, and scored on Vigerust's sin
gle to right. Fahey struckout but Farrell
connected for another triple to center that
scored Vigerust. Hanson struckout, retir-
ing the side with three hits, two runs and
no errors.
AT this stage of the game Bur took up
the helm as pitcher and with the opening
of the fourth frame the visitors annexed
another brace of runs. Hinsley went out
on long fly to Sher and Hayes was
thrown out Del to Gall. Sinberg was
passed on balls and went to second on
Bur's wild throw to first. Paper beat out
an infeld grounder for a hit but Sinberg
was held on second during the play. After
La Bliss got count of and D. both run
ners undertook to pull off double steal
and by Eos making wild throw to third,
both runners scored. La Bliss struckout, re-
firing the side with one hit, two runs and
two errors. This ended the visitors scor-
ing for Bur dished out nothing but goose
eggs for the balance of the game.
Hayes, the Hook'em Cows pitching
artist was in more or less trouble all the
way. On account of the locals trying to
pull off some "bone-headed" base running
and being decidedly favored with all the
breaks in the game, enabled him to pull
out of small hole. The locals nicked
him for two earned runs in their first trip
to the plate and its hard to say how many
more they would have got if Sher hadn't
stopped at first to take nap. Shu
led off by striking out and Del was
thrown out, La Bliss to Fahey. Dts was
passed on balls and very promptly pilfered
second. Gall was hit with a pitched ball.
Eos got single to right center, scoring
Dts and placing Gall on third. Sher got
a single to short center, scoring Gall and
Eos went to third. Sher could have taken
second on the peg to the platter but he
went to sleep at first long enough to be
