HENRIETTE AND
WRIGHT WIN
Continued from Page u

the seventh holding the Brahamites
to four hits and one run during the
remaining five innings. In the twelfth
inning with the score tied at 5 and 5,
Leuhman, first man at bat, lined out
a two-base hit that started a rally
that won the game for the Cross
Country champions.
Ledin, pitching for Braham, went
good for eleven innings, keeping the
hits of the Henriette batsmen we'll
scattered but he was relieved in the
twelfth inning by Stroud after two
successive doubles had been made.
The Scott brothers, playing with
for their team. E. Scott hit two dOu-
bles and two singles in six times up,
and d. Scott got three singles in as
many times at bat Bobbie Berg
made three hits in six times at bat
for the Henriette team, one being
double in the twelfth inning that
scored Leuhman with what proved to
be the winning run.
Denham Loses to Wright.
In the second game of the after
noon, the one played between Wright
and Denham, Bethune. pitching for
Wright. was invincible yielding only
three hits to the Denham batters.
Olson, of Denham, matched the pitch
ing performance for several innings
and it proved to be a pitchers battle.
Olson, however, had two bad innings,
the sixth and eighth, when the Wright
batsmen took advantage of misplays
and bunced their hits to garner
enough runs to win the game. In
the eighth inning Gustafson was sent
to the mound in an attempt to stem
the rally but because of finger in
juries he could not control the ball
and the manager was forced to bring
Olson back to the mound.
l.. Nordquist garnered two singles
and a double in four times at bat to
lead the hitting of the Wright club.
Denham tailed their only run in
the first inning when Strom got a
pass, advanced on a single by Dolly
and scored when Gustafson singled
to left field. Dolly secured Denham's
other hit which gave him percent
age of five hundred for the game.
Wright was unable to score until
the fifth inning. In that inning Be
thune was safe on a boot, advanced
on a single by l.. Nordquist and scored
on an infield out. They collected two
more runs in the sixth inning on
three singles and double and they
put the game on ice in the eighth
inning with four runs on two doubles,
a single, an error and two bases on
balls.
Henriette, Sturgeon Next.
The fact that the tournament sched-
ule was advanced made it necessary
to play the next bracket of the elm
ination on next Sunday. The game
will start at 2:30 and will be played
between Henriette and Sturgeon Lake
at Sturgeon Lake. To state that this
will be holly contested game is put
ting it mildly. Henriette demon
strated Monday in that long, extra
inning, errorless game against the
strong Braham team, that they have
a hustling, aggressive team. They
stuck in there ferociously until the
last man was out on the defensive
side, and on the offense they had the
force and reserve to tie the score
in the ninth inning and come back
in the twelfth to produce two more
runs to win the game. They made a
good account for themselves and un-
questionably are serious cOntenders
for the district honors to represent
this district in the state tourney.
The members of the Sturgeon Lake
team, on the other hand, are all vet
Grams of tournaments, and they have
the determination to go back to st.
Paul again this year. A good selec-
tion of support from the league has
been made and the team is now pre-
senting a lineup stronger than any
that they have had in previous tourn-
aments. Every member is a seasoned
member of championship play and
with that in mind the game Sunday
pOrtends to be one of the outstanding
baseball combats that this country
has seen for long time.
No doubt V. Fore and "Ole' Leuh-
man will be counted upon by the Hen
riette team to do the mound work
in an attempt to stop the Sturgeon
Lake sluggers; Gay, Olson, Nelson,
the Cunninghams, and the rest, all
batting over $50 during the season.
And for Sturgeon Lake, the vet
eran, Mack Anderson, who has not
lost a game yet this season, will be
on the mound to demonstrate his pow
err and skill.
