The Ely miner., 1925-07-24
FALLS TEAM To
BRING ZOO FANS.
ELY WILL TRY TO GET EVEN
FOR THE DRUBBING OF
SUNDAY.

The second half of the Arrow
head League season will be opened
auspiciously Sunday when the Falls
team, champions of the first half,
will engage in a double header at
the local park. They will be ac-
companied by 80 piece band and
about 200 rooters.
Only the first encounter will be
reckoned as a league game while
the second contest will be purely
exhibitional. Shoulder will oppose
Spickler in what should be the best
pitchers battle of the second half.
Spickler had the edge at the Bor-
der Ci but Ely is confident of
turning in a reverse verdict. Du-
luth will meet Hibbing and Virginia
will play Morgan Park in the other
league games. Contrary to reports
neither Morgan Park or Hibbing
have dropped from the league.
International Falls jolted Ely
twice Sunday by the scores of 81
and 17-3, and incidentally won the
undisputed championship of the first
half. The first game was the kind
the fans hope to see but so rarely
do while the second one was enjoy
able only to the home crowd.
Spickler, who once wore an Ely
uniform, had hilarious afternoon
in fooling his former mates. He
fooled them plenty with an assort-
ment of twisters that had Ely paw
ing the air in pinches. He allowed
only five hits, no two of which came
in pairs. Furthermore he famed
nine and otherwise was brisk and
businesslike. On the other hand
Shoulder did not flash such a sorry
brand of ball himself. He present
ed his opponents with only six hits
but one of these, a homer with a
man on base, proved to be his un-
doing. In all, the fans will not wit
ness such pitching for many moon
unless there is a repetition of the
duel Sunday.
The largest crowd of the season
packed the stands and goodly num-
ber of merry Ely rooters were rep
resented.
The Border City nine put the
game safely away among the cam
phor balls when they tailed thrice
in the fourth. An innocent looking
base on balls started it. Gordon,
the beneficiary, stole second, streak
ed to third on a passed ball and
scored when Berrigan lined a
grounder over second base. Then
Shoulder grooved one for Noll and
the husky catcher leaned on the
ball for a drive over the right field
fence.
Ely gave all appearances of scor-
ing in the first. Hoefler smacked
the first ball pitched for ringing
double and stole third when Chinn
struck out. Gianotti flied out to the
catcher and Bouski walked. Hoefer
was nipped at third when he ventur-
ed too far off the bag thus ending
the round. In the third inning two
men were on second and third but
Bouski whitfield. Again in the fourth
with Lawrence on second Moravetz
and Lambert failed to deliver with
q scoring hit.
Ely participated in two sparkling
bits Of fielding in the fifth frame.
Lawrence robbed Kalb, another
former Ely player, of double when
he speared Kalb's long fly on the
run. Hoefer followed this with a
one handed catch of whistling lin
er.
In the sixth Ely scored their lone
tally when Gianotti was given a
free passage to first. He stole third
and raced across the pan on Lind
beck's long sacrifice fly. From then
on neither team threatened.
Falls Runs Wild in Second Game.
There seems to be no reasonable
