BASEBALL

Well stree it was something immense
the way the local baseball tribe showed
their jinx the gate, when they entertained
the St. Paul All Stars last Saturday. By
outhitting their opponents two to one and
playing sterling class of ball in their
defensive, they recorded their first victory
of the season by score of to 5, in a
seven inning game.
Features Yes indeed. The seven inn
ing game was filled from beginning to
end with them. One of the leading fea-
lures of the game was Ny's role of Of
fciating as professor" pilot or mounds
man. We recommend his lessons in ath-
letic pitching to the mistifed visitors in
aiding them to solve his mystic type of

Bona's single. Bona tried to pilfer
second but was caught in the act, Hill to
Carl Anderson. Foster struckout but Gal
got safely on the runway by Burvencich's
error in left. On Sher's infeld grounder
Gal was forced out at second by Carl
Anderson, unassisted. Another counter
found its way to the scoring column in
the sixth frame. 1t came by the way of a
two-base hit by Wor, who scored on
H'dy's single. Ny singled and Myr was
passed on balls, filling the bases with
none out and the locals wrecking crew
coming on deck. Clarence Anderson sure
ly demonstrated his ability in pitching by
retiring Gaps sluggers" by the strikeout
route, Shu, Bona and Eos in order. The
locals eighth run was recorded in the
seventh and last stanza of the game. Gal
went out on an infeld fly to Clarence An
oerson. Sher got single and while Wor
was striking out, Sher stole second and
scored on H'dy's single. Ny retired the
side and ended all the fun by going out
on fly to Koscieck.
