Big Doc Hamann, the sensational

bal, team with champion ship aspirations

Ulm team, is on his way to join the
Cleveland team of the American league
His many admirers in New Ulm as wei
as those who have faced his pitching
from other places hope that he will make
good in the ''big show" 3. g.
doc" Hamann is wonderful pitcher
At times he may be slightly wild, but he
makes up for that in speed and break
He has been an exceedingly weak batter,
but he fields everything that comes
within reach in ve,y satisfactory shape.

in an all-star team this season and his
going will be felt by the local team. His
career in the big league will be watched
with keen interest by New Ulm fans.
Won His Game Sunday.
Last Sundays game with Hopkins
was the last one pitched by Hama.nn for
New Ulm. Doc was in excellent form
for this game and ndhispitchingwas superb.
Six small hits was all that Hopkins could
show again st him, most of the hits being
near outs, there being only one two
Dagger in the bunch. Ten times batters
famed the air before Hamann last
Sunday and nary man walked. The
big pitcher took his leave with New
Ulm fans in manner which was fully
up to the record he has made here.
The game with Hopkins was one OF the
best played here this year. Bye pitched
a corking good game for Hopkins, al
lowing only 6 hits and striking out s..
He was bit wild at times and allowed
+ men to walk and also had two wild
pitches chalked against him. But for
speed, he was burner. He also had q
wide break and was in every respect a
pitcher of exceptional merit.
Game Was Tight. 4.
The game was tight from start to
finish, both sides playing almost errorless
ball. Two errors are chalked up against
each side, but they were hard chances.
Each catcher has a passed ball against
him, but it's some job catching fol
Hamann or Bye, especially when tie
battle is as close astlast Sunday. W.,
The first score for New Ulm would
never have been made under ordinary
circumstances, but .Ole'' Daugherty is
an extraordinary b base runner, Logging in
from 1st on Brackett's double. A bingle
had brought "Ole'' to first. The
second score was the result Of free
pass to Guendner after which he stole
second. Hamann, who generally can't
hit at all surprised the world by Logging
to first on bingle to End and Guendner
sprinted in from End. Doc Hamann had
batting streak last Sunday, getting two
singles out of four times up. He famed
the other two times, however. ~ s
Born Was There.
Born's peg from right field in the
fourth frame cut off what looked like a
sure score and was the best play Of the
day. Born has one of New Ulm's hits
to his credit also, although it did not
figure in the scoring. He is, however.
New Ulm's surest batter as rule. And
the 20 score would have been FL, had
it not been for his splendid throw.
