BASEBALL
Memorial Day

Regardless of the fact that the Memorial
Days ball game between the Tenth Ward
Athletics from North Minneapolis and
the locals was bungled up with count
less number of errors by both teams it did
not seriously mar the interest that was
manifested in the game. The locals hit
ting ability was more than the visitors
could Withstand. Walloping out five hits
for fifteen bases, gave the locals well
earned victory of an to count, in five
inning game.
The visitors were late in arriving upon
the scene of action and when they did
appear, two of their regular and most i'm
portant players had not yet arrived. This
caused a substitution of two local players
to fill their depleted ranks until their ar
rival One inning had been played before
the delayed players arrived and that inn
ing spelled defeat for the visitors. How
ever, the loss of the game by the visitors
cannot in no way be directly charged to
the substitutes, although one error was
contributed by sub that let in score
and the other sub clouted out hit that
paved the way for the visitors first run
in the first frame.
The game opened up with Ny in the
box for the locals and he was in fine
form to pitch shutout ball. Errors behind
him were responsible for the visitors
scoring. Olsen was the first man to face
him in the opening frame and he went
out on an infeld fly to Shu. O'Neill hit
a terrific grounder to Fro who was only
able to partially stop the ball and in re-
covering it, together in his haste to de-
liver, he made wild throw to first, ad-
vancing O'Neill to second. From there
he scored on El's single to center. Ell
tried to pilfer second but he found the
ball awaiting him at that corner for the
second out and Campbell retired the side
by striking out. One run, one hit and one
error. In the locals turn at bat Myr led
the attack by going out on foul fly to
Campbell. Fro got free ticket when he
was hit in the side with pitched ball
and completed the circuit on Shu's four
base drive to right center. Bona was
passed on balls and advanced to third on
B'dt's double to right center. Sher struck
out. H'dy's fly to right field and Wag-
ner's error in dropping the ball, allowed
Bona and B'dt to score and H'dy took
second on the same. Wor lifted high
fly out in left center that either fielder
should have captured but when both of
them were persistent and would not give
way to the other, Hen dropped the ball,
allowing H'dy to score and Wor to reach
second in safety. Ny lined one out to
right field and Wagner made another
error by dropping the ball and allowing
Wor to score and Ny reached second in
safety. Myr retired the side by getting
thrown out, Campbell to O'Neill. Six
runs, two hits and three errors.
The visitors were held scoreless in the
opening of the second round but when
the locals came to bat they recorded one :
more counter. Fro struck out but Shu
walloped out another four base drive to
right field and Bona got a two Dagger
to left field and went to third when Baker
dropped B'dts short fly to center. Sher
and H'dy retired the side by striking out.
Two hits, one run and one error.
The visitors were again held scoreless
~ IL IL
strikeouts in row. When the locals came
to bat, the visitors pulled off fast dou-
tle play that retired the side in big league
style. Wor was passed on balls and very
promptly pilfered second. Ny went out
on foul fly to Colburn and on Myr's
infeld grounder, Myr was thrown out,
Campbell to O'Neill, and Wor was thrown
out, O'Neill to Campbell.
