BASEBALL

Last Saturday afternoon the local base
ball company administered 10 to lick
ing to the Paine Weber & Co.'s baseball
tossers from St. Paul.
The local aggregation made the after
moons session quite interesting on account
of their ability in walloping out extra
base hits. Over-con6dence in base run
ming, caused many prospective score,
for the locals, to die in its infancy.
The visitors were allowed to score once
in the opening round and not single
hit was recorded. Shay the first man up
was given a free ticket and stole second.
On the overthrow to that corner, he raced
on for third. Shu recovered the ball and
in making peg to the third corner, the
ball again went wild, allowing Shay to
score. Carter struck out but Burke was
safe on Burs error at first in doping a
thown ball which the first baseman had
felded but could not make the out with
out assistance. When Fridley had
count of three balls and two strikes,
Burke made dash for second base. The
delivery was ball, giving Fridley
walk, but the play that followed was an
overthrow to second. Burke in making
a long hard run for the plate, was thrown
out Bona to Shu to Eos. In the meantime
Fridley was not loafng on the base lines.
When Burke was thrown out at the
platter, he was making desperate
efforts to reach third but when he arrived
at that station he. found the ball waiting
for him for the third out. The fourth
round saw the visitors garner three more
counters that developed from a couple of
passes on balls and hit batsman that
jammed the bases Kerfoot, who batted
in place of Goodrich, landed on a timely
hit that scored two runners. A miscued
felder's choice play accounted for the
third run. Again in the seventh and last
frame one more counter was made that
came by the way of triple and an infeld
out
The locals hung up their trade marks
in the first, third, fifth and sixth rounds.
With perfect defensive work by the visi-
tors many of these scores would have
died on the runways. As it was, the To-
calls made four markers in the first round,
coming by the way of couple of hits,
one pass and three errors. In the third
round four more scores were recorded
from three hits and three errors. One
more in the fifth from couple of hits
and one error and one more in the sixth
from no hits, a stolen base and couple
of errors, giving the locals ten markers in all.
Bur was in the pill box for the locals,
going all the way. Despite his wildness
at times, he got away with compara-
lively very easy victory. His wildness
perhaps was due to the blow he got over
the temple in batting practice, prior to
the game. Ny was pitching and Bur was
batting He had just fouled one over the
wall and had turned to watch it in its
flight. Ny had another ball in his hand
and delivered it as Bur was turning from
his observation. The delivery was wild,
catching Bur unawares just over the tenn
pie and knocking him unconscious for
short period. However, he was game to
the core and pitched Saturdays game
with telling results, excepting one bad
inning, the fourth. He allowed only three
scattered hits, struckout seven men, passed
five on balls, issued five wild pitches and
hit one batsman.
Shay was on the mound for the visitors
and considering the class of goods he pro-
duced, he was deserving of better support.
