shutout in as many days. defeated
the Bismarck Grays to 0 in the
final game of the second annual Bis
marck baseball tournament and won
the $500 cash prize offered by the
Bismarck Association of Commerce,
sponsors.
The mustached- Rafferty, put up a
fine exhibition of baseball skill, not
only holding the Bismarck clouters
scoreless, but being responsible for
the Steele counters directly with
doubles in each of the seventh and
eighth innings.
For six innings the two teams
battled scoreless, first one team
threatening and then the other. But
when Steele came to bat in the sew
enth and eighth frames, they could
not be denied
: After the first six innings Of
strictly pitchers battle, McGivern
opened the seventh frame with long
double. Rafferty,. following the
shortstop to the platter, repeated the
doubling stunt to score his team
mate. Rafferty, advanced to third on
Schlossers short single, and stole
home as Schlosser was stealing Sec
ond.
Tucker Starts Eighth
In the eighth. Tucker reached first
on Tobin's error, took second on q
sacrifice by Edwards, and scored on
McGivern's second double. Meow
ern scored on Rafferty's second
double-base clout, and all was over
but the shouting.
Bismarck threatened to score in
the sixth. Sagehorn singled and
reached third on Loves double. With
two out, Fuller stepped to the plat
ter and knocked an easy grounder to
Secondbaseman Edwards who threw
him out at first to retire the team
with men on second and third bases.
McGivern, Rafferty,, and Schlosser
each got two hits in four trips to the
platter. All other Steele batsmen
failed to register safe clouts. Nc
Givern's play was sensational
throughout the, contest, the lanky
shortstop making five putouts all
over the infield and outfield and max
ing two beautiful throws to first
base. His timely hitting lowered the
Bismarck flag.
Bismarck Played Well
Bismarck also played a great
game, though the team was guilty of
three errors, only one Of which re-
suited in q score. Johnson, Sage
horn. and Fuller each hit singles and
Love hit a double to complete the
Gray hitting record in the game
Mohn, Tobin, Guidas, and Nagel
were held hitless by the Steele mound
star to the great surprise of the
majority Of Bismarck fans.
Tobin. Sagehorn, and Johnson
were each guilty of errors.
Steele played the best baseball in
the game, taking advantage Of every
break, playing errorless, and out
clouting the local outfit.
