BERTHA CLEANS
BELLE PLANE
Fast lO-Inning Ball Game
at Sank Centre Fair
Grounds
7-6 WAS FINAL SCORE
Little Interest in Game by
Residents Of City-Out-
side Attendance Heavy

Twelve hundred ninety-one
adults and 81 kiddies was the to-
tai "gate" at one of the fastest
baseball games ever played in this
city Sunday, when Bertha and
Belle PLANE met at the Fair
ground in the afternoon. The
weather conditions were ideal but
the total attendance from the
city proper was less than 100.
The two teams were evenly
matched and the game was hard
fought for ten innings before Ber-
tina corped by 7-G score.
Belle PLANE was shut out in the
first half; Bertha scored one in
the las half Of the. first; they
should have had more but for
dumb coaching on the base lines.
They earned another in the third.
Belle PLANE was kept away from
the home plate until the fifth.
Poor support at this stage and
some timely hits resulted in four
scores for Belle PLANE. Belle
PLANE scored an earned run in the
sixth; Bertha scored on bad err
ror at third; both were blanked in
the seventh; timely hits scored one
for each in the eighth. When the
ninth opened the score stood Ga
in favor of Belle PLANE. Donald
son took care of Belle PLANE in
short order in the first of the
ninth. The first two Bertha bat
tiers facing Mccain went down in
order in the last half, and it
looked like a victory for the boys
from the south. Then two walks,
a couple Of singles and the score
was tied.
Donaldson bore down again in
the tenth and retired Belle PLANE
in order. The first two Bertha
men were quickly taken care of in
the last of the 10th. Two were
then walked and Donaldson shot a
single to left field and the game
was over.
Bertha was very fortunate to
win this game as the "breaks"
were in their favor. Mic Bleek-
er officiated as umpire and gave
as nifty a demonstration of the
proper manner of handling an in
dicator as one often witnesses.
