WHAT WE SAW Which only goes to show that Bingham is still in the race and will continue to win ball games. There isn't a chance for any team in the league to beat the locals when they play this sort of ball. The crowds are not a bit gratifying, gratify-ing, and it is too bad that such good ball games have to be played to empty seats. Next Sunday Magna will be here, and it behooves the fans of the camp to be in attendance. The fans want a winning ball team, and now they have one, and yet they will not appear at the park. Melius pitched well enough to win his game against any team in the country. His best work was done in the pinches, and 9 men from Arthur were left stranded on the paths. Hermanson, who usually pitches effectively ef-fectively against Bingham, proved to be an easy victim, the locals pounding pound-ing him for sixteen swats. The locals made two fast double I plays, bringing their total in this de-' de-' partment up to 21 for the 13 games of l the second half, r In the second inning Melius mowed the Millmen down in jig time. That double play in the first frame, Dowdell to Baty to Ledingham was a fast piece of work. They made another fast double in the third, when Baty grabbed Myer's hot shot near second, tossed to Dowdell Dow-dell forcing Hermanson, and then Dowdell beat Myer to first. This was extra fast, and the fans gave the boys a big hand when they came to the bench. Crellin made a great catch of Mor-lcy's Mor-lcy's drive to the right field fence, in the third. Whitelcy came into the limelight when he grabbed Barrett's long fly to the left field in the fourth. Two errors by Bingham players in the fourth got Melius in trouble, but he tightened and Arthur failed to score. Dowdell made a swell catch of College's Col-lege's fly to the right field foul line in the fourth. Stillman's lone hit of the game was a dandy, as it was a triple and cleaned clean-ed the bases in the fourth. Buckle made two nice catches in the fifth when he got Hermanson's and Myer's drives to right center. Melius hit one between first and second in the fifth, that hit Papworth, the Bingham catcher being called out. In the sixth, Melius got into trouble when he walked two and allowed a hit, but lie tightened up, and no damage dam-age was done. Melius helped out in this inning with a great stop of College's roller. It looked like an infield hit, and would have scored a. runner, Ingersol made a great one-handed catch of Buckle's foul near the right field fence in the sixth inning. Hermanson sent a sharp single to right in the seventh, which Morley grabbed on the hop, and threw the Arthur pitcher out at first. Crellin opened the eighth with a two base hit, and died there, the next three men being easy victims. |
