Long and Hard Battle ln which St. Marys
were the Victors.
The Bidgway Record contains the
following account of tbe game of ball
played at Ridgway, Tuesday afternoon,
between St. Marys and Ridgway
teams: «
On Tuesday afternoon occurred one
of the best 'games of base ball which
have ever been played on a Ridgway
diamond. It was a long and hard
battle in whioh both teams struggled
for supremacy.
The greatest battle of tbe game
was that between tbe pitchers, who
were both struggling lot the prevention of the winning run. But tbe
pitchers would aot bave been able to
bold tbe game down so well as tbey
did, had it not been for the perfect
support which both teams rendered.
The game was not one of sensational
'grand stand playing' but ball.
When tbe nine innings hod been
finished neither side had scored a run
and none had reached third base.
Tben it took four more innings to get
a runner across the home plate. On
the first half of the thirteenth tbe St.
Marys players succeeded in getting two
men ou hoses. Tbe next batter hit a
'fly' out into tbe center field whioh was
dropped by McClain, after making a
most valiant effort to capture it.
This error, the only costly one made
In the game, let ln two runs for St.
Marys, and Bidgway, having last
inning, went to the bat. McClain
went to tbe bat and got tbe first, tben
worked himself to tbe third, wben
Ross went to the plate. Ross made a
bit and McClain came home, scoring
the one run made by Bidgway.
In tbe eighth Inning an accident happened which slightly discouraged tbe
local pitcher. Jobn Gies, the visitor's
first base man, was at the bat and was
hit by a pitched ball. He fell and was
unable to rise for some time, having
been stunned. Tbe ball was a curved
ball and glanced off not doing much
more than to give bim a hard bump
and cause tbe blood to flow from his
nose for some time.
The line-up of the two teams was as
follows:

Little Patranella Scbaut's Narrow Escape.
Came Near being Bitten by a Dog, while Playing In tbe Yard, Last Sunday Afternoon.
Last Sunday afternoon, while playing in the back yard, little Patranella
Schaut, tbe two year old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Schaut of North St.
Michael street came near being bitten
by a dog.
Little Patranella had none from tbe
bouse only a short time, when ber
mother heard her cry and hastening to
the rear yard, saw tbe little girl covering her face with ber hands and
screaming. Close by, was a shepherd
dog, wbo was nibbling at a bone. Mrs.
Schaut picked up the little girl and
saw that her forehead was bruised and
that ber left cheek showed tbe marks
of teeth, although tbere was no tearing
of the skiu.
It is thought that the child bad
gone up to the dog to stroke it while It
was eating a bone, and the canine not
wishing to be molested had made for
the little one and knocked her down,
which evidently accounts for the bruise
on ber forehead. As there were no
lacerations, no serious results are
anticipated.
