HOEFLER AND GOOD PLAY
OF BOUSKI.
LEAGUE STANDINGS:

The Ely team almost had its first
ball game safely tucked away but
through generous ninth inning mix
M it was snatched away and now
Bro. Halls boys will have the much
talked of opportunity of starting
from the bottom.
Hibbing and Ely spent nine m
nings in tossing victory back and
forth in the park Sunday but finally
Hibbing secured firm grip on the
game and rambled jubilantly home
ward to tell the folks and Red OF
sports column, how they happened to
emerge on top of 8 to 8 setto.
Duluth also had some pleasant
news to bring home from Interna-
tional Falls where they won on u!
score and in Superior the fans had 9
good time when the Cops dubbed
their way to an 8-3 win.
although some loose work marked
the game it was an engaging battle
andg good-sized crowd voted it g
good game. When Hoef1er hcisted
the ball over the right field fence in
the eighth everybody thought it was
al over but the shouting. That is,
everybody except Hibbing who per
suaded the crowd to their method OF
thinking when they crossed the pan
twice in the fatal ninth. E. Nord
began the inning when he sent out a
fl to Hoeher. Just to show the pub
lie that he can miss one every three
or four years Ray promptly dropped
it. Zgonc rammed grounder at
Bouski but that gentleman after
a little hobnobbing applied the
sphere to Nord's back for an
out. Then to complicate matters
Kowalke also let the ball get through
his mitts. Anderson sent the sphere
into the left garden scoring the two
on bases.
Bousk gave pleasing account OF
himself. He scintillated in the field
handling all the hot ones in his corn.
er with finished ease. Kowalke act.
ing in the capacity of the cleanup
hitter crashed out two doubles, both
dangerously near the right field fence
Although Starkman's delivery wa:
not altogether deceptive, he turned
in good afternoons performance
and with a little more breaks in his
favorscould have scored win. His
work was good.
After Hibbing had counted once
to start with, Ely gave all evidence
that the game would be a merry
jaunta for them when they dashed
across the plate four times in the
opening round. Hoefier opened the
spree by working Zgonc for free
ticket. Chinn beat out perfectly
executed bunt and when the ball was
thrown skyward HoeJer romped in
while Chinn held second. Bouski lined
out to- the third baseman who heaved
the ball some meters above the sec
ord baseman's head and Chinn took
third. Kowalke's hard drive came
just then and Chinn sauntered
Hume. Lambert was hit by pitched
ball and he and Kowalke managed to
get around safely through an over
throw an error and a hit by Law
renee. Ely neglected to copyright
this inning and as result Hibbing
scored3 the same quota in the third
and added two more for good meas
ure in the fourth. Although blessed
with many opportunities Ely failed
to convert any runs until the sew
enth when hits by Bouski, Lambert
and Lindbeck knotted the count.
With two men out in the seventh it
would hardly have done to single so
Hoef1ep took the only remaining
course and raped out homer.
The Team will play at Duluth Sun
day.
