LOKAL ANESTHETICS
Leon Unbach, the boosting Seward
Merchant, in the game against the
Nile Parks Monday, pulled a hair
raising catch of a liner after lit got
away from McEwan, wthich, had the
(ball fallen safely, would have meant
at least two more runs that were
badly needed at the time.
It isn’t every player that takes this
indoor baseball game lightly. Gus
Man they became so Irritated over a
decision by the umpire on bases, he
walked off the diamond in utter and
heated resignation, leaving Captain
Shellhorn without a first baseman.
Shelly desperately cast his eagle eye
over tlhe unemployed stars seated
about the hall, and then induced said
ump, Hickman, to become a player.
Before the game ended Hick scored
itwice for the Merchants, besides con
ducting himself brilliantly, tho’ nois
ily, at left short.
Speaking about noise: Val&de said
that the excessive racket made by

the kids in the gallery ju&t about
upset him. Sure it wasn’t the three
home runs or the clatter of the Nile
Parkers’ hoofs as they galloped 18
times around the base paths that
had anything to do with the upset
ting, Val?
Painter’s home run in the fourth
inning was about the longest and
hardest hit made in any of the
games to date; the ball sailed into
the uppermost corner of the hall
above the hads of the spectators in
the gallery. We made a hit
like that, once, and in sliding for
home—discovered that we had slid
out from between the sheets.
McBwan, it seamed, was out of his
batting stride a bit; in five trips to
ithe plate the slugging Banker scored
but omce. Try ’er again tonite, Mac!
Both pitchers had excellent con
trol; their being but one base on
balls issued, and that was given out
by Dyer. Too much Anchorage, Tom?
The occurrence that took place in
the Nile Mark’s seventh was very un
usual, to say in the least. Roberts,
Tinkler and Dyer, the- first three
•men to face the pitcher, all hit safe
ly and were reposing comfortably on
the bases, when Robison came to.
(bat—(a terrible situation indeed for
any pitcher to look over). Rob by
slapped one to the infield and the
fielder who scooped up the ball
'choee to make the play at first base.
To the amazement of the fans, and
the frenzy of the coaches, who were
yelling their lungs out, not one of
the base-runners moved; forgetting,
temporarily that they were automati
cally forced to advance on the hit
Lien, playing first base for the Mer
chants at the time, aft.er completing
the put out on Robison, tagged Dyer
for the second out and then shot
the ball across to ^hird, to which
base Roberts had become unexplain
ably frozen, and the ball was put on
Doc for the third out. A grand
Nile Park rally was thereby cast to
the winds. It was the first tripiple
.play seen here, and, it is hoped,
will be the last one of its kind to
be worked on Seward ball players.
The Bankers and the Signal Corps
teams mix tonight, and according to
the Captains, Roberts and Snyder,
both teams are going to cop the ba
con. A fast game is looked for.
