NEW ULM DOWNS
YOUNG AMERICA
FAIRMoNT AND sHERBURN
ARE HANDED GOOSE EGGS
AT SHERBURN.
FAIRMONT RESORTS TO WILD
MANS WAYS TO WIN
IN THE TENTH.

! New Ulm trimmed the cocky giants
of Young America in the second game
of double header at Glencoe last
Sunday to the tune of to 1. Even
the lone score chalked up for Young
America was not earned, but came as
the result of hard luck for big Doc
Hamann, who pitched ball that hit
the plate, then took bound like sky
rocket, giving runner on third a
chance to walk in with score, With
the next ball pitched, Doc put the
third strike on the batter, who was
the third man out in that inning,
which shows what would have hap
pened if the ball hadn't struck the
edge of the plate. If it had been only,
half an inch higher, chances are that
Donaghue would have stopped it and
Young America would have been with
out single score.
Crowd With New Ulm.
The big crowd at Glencoe last Sun
day was crowd Of thorough-going
sportsmen Glencoe being almost
fifty miles from New Ulm, there were
comparatively few New Ulm fans at
the game, but the unsportsmanlike
running in of three Young America
players as pinch hitters for Arlington
in the last half of the tenth inning of
the Arlington Winthrop game, which
first tied the score and then finally
brought in the winning tally for
Arlington in game that fairly be-
longed to Winthrop, made the big
crowd very much prejudiced against
Young America and New Ulm received
the benefit of that prejudice. When
Young America received the thorough
drubbing that she did in the game with
New Ulm, the crowd was visibly and
volubly we'll pleased: To the credit
of the manager of the Young America
team, it must be said that the three
! players of his team who went in to
help Arlington did so without his con-
sent and he agreed with the fans who
declared it an unsportsmanlike job.
Doc, Hamann Pitched.
Big Doc Hamann was on the mound
for New Ulm and Leverette, old time
big Lacquer, did the twirling for Young
America. Leverette was in good form
last Sunday, about as good as we have
seen him this year, but Hamann was
better. Six base hits were made off
Leverette, while Hamann allowed only
4. Only one free pass was handed ont
by Hamann, while Leverette let two
slip to first that way. Leverette also
passed one to first on being hit. Ha-
mann has to be charged with a wild
pitch for the one that hit the edge
of the plate, but at that, he had it on
Leverette several ways.
First Inning.
Young America a-Briere, End base
man, started out with single
Dretchko sacrificed, Redeem to Turen,
advancing Briere to second. Olson
struck out. Stone was out, Houle to
Turen. No runs, l hit, no errors.
New Ulm-Houle was out on his
grounder to second. Turen drew a
bingle, his only. hit of the day.
Dougherty sent fast roller through
the pitcher. Short fielded the ball,
covered second and nailed cole at
first, pretty double play. But this
: started the rag chewing. Ole claimed
the ball had hit the base umpire and
that the runners should be declared
t safe. A big cud of rag had to be
, chewed over. The rule book was
brought out. After divers hot pas
: sages back and forth, the jumps
stuck to the first decision and the side
! was retired. During the fracas New
Ulm lost the good will Of the crowd
' for short while. The trouble also
: served to antagonize the umpires
e The writer can't remember single
|. instance where Ole's rag chewing has
h gained anything for New Ulm but the
r ill will of otherwise neutral and even
s friendly fans. The main value OF q
base ball team to a city is advertising
It is never good advertising for any
3 town to be represented by rag cheWers
u Clean sportsmanship wins the gooc

people forgive him his shortcomings
" Doc Hamann's gentlemanly ard sports
