lot of good talent yet to select from, in
case of necessity. However, the team that
was on the field in Saturdays contest, is
fifty per cent stronger than the team that
opened up last years season. In case we
have some ideal baseball weather, so the
local team can get daily practice, we shall
look forward to some real baseball games
before the season closes.
Saturdays game was very exciting, for
one team would first take the lead, then
the conquered would come from behind,
overwhelm the enemy, only to be put to
rout in the next stanza, which finally re-
suited in a tied up game at the conclusion
of the eighth frame.
During the first two frames of the game,
the visitors with the aid of the Ump,
grabbed a five run lead. During that
time, the locals were completely at their
opponents mercy. But in the third chap
ter there was different tune to sing.
The visitors were handed goose egg in
this frame, but when the locals came to
bat, things began to hum. Of of four
hits, two passes on balls and miscued
felder's choice, five runs were scored
which tied up the game for the time being.
With the opening of the fourth frame
the visitors broke the knot by getting one
score off a two Dagger, stolen base and
Foss error In the locals half, they come
right back and evened up the score again,
which came by the way of couple of
passes on balls and a couple of singles.
The fifth stanza saw the visitors draw
blank. But the locals got real busy and
hammered out two well earned runs.
These counters were made off single, a
triple and double, which gave the locals
two points the best of the game but not
for long, for with the opening of the sixth
frame, the visitors collected total of six
counters before their bombardment could
be silenced. This gave them lead of
three runs. When the locals came to bat,
they got four markers, coming by the way
of pass on balls, three singles and
double. Thus they again came from be-
hind and took the lead of the game by one
counter.
In the seventh frame both teams drew
blank but with the opening of the eighth
and last chapter, the visitors were al
lowed to score once on a two Dagger,
stolen base and an infeld error. The
locals in their half tried hard to again
break the knot, but fast double play soon
retired the side with no prospects of
scoring
Saturdays lineup contained seven new
recruits, all of them participated in the
contest. Mye Bona, Sher, and Thomp
were the only members of the old team
in uniform. Bona and Sher held their
old positions as out felders, Mye being
shifted from his old position at second, to
third base. The work he did there Sat-
urday, proves he is capable of holding
down that corner in good shape. Thomp

signed to any other position.
Tol, who is new recruit and pro-
fesses to be mound artist, pitched the
opening chapters of Saturdays game, with
Fos, another recruit on the receiving end.
Tol, as could be expected was wild in his
deliveries. Being out only twice for field
practice, prior to the game he pitched in,
was just enough to stiffen up every muscle
and fiber in his body to render him unfit
to participate in any game. However, he
seems to have the instincts of pitcher and
after the team gets going, it's safe bet
that he will make good. Fos covered his
position remarkably well, as backstop,
and especially so when one considers the
wild pitching he had to contend with.
Shu, new recruit at shortstop, gives
every indication of wonderful improve
