I Walhalla Kids Win from Westmin ster li Idiots by Score of O io 4. . , Out-batted, out-flolded, out-gone raled-In fact, out-played in every department of tho gamo-Westmin ster's 3d team lost to tho Walhalla 3d team by a seor? of 9 to 4, thanks to tho masterful pitching of young Otto McLees. He held them safe at all stages of tho game and was pai* tlcularly effective when men were on tho bases. One lone hit was all Westminster could secure from his delivery, and In the Inst three innings bo fanned six batsmen But he was not the only star player In the gamo. "Bub" Rowland and Lloyd Brown, with throe runs each and as many hits to their credit, mudo Mitchell, West minster's pitcher, feel uneasy when they came to bat. 9 Captain "Bub." beading the bat ting order for Walhalla, started tho fun In the first Inning when he lined one past third for a single. C. Hetrlck, next, up, sacrificed him to second with a bunt and Rowland ran to third while "Buck" was being put out. Mitchell waa worried and pitched the next ball high, "Bub" scoring amid the cheers of the spec tators. Loose fielding, coupled with a hit, gave Westminster their only earned run of the day, In their half of tho first. "Our boys" soon took tho lead again and were never In danger of losing. This ls the Walhalla 3d team's first game of the season, and judging by their playing in Saturday's contest, they have a combination of players capable of holding their own with any of the smaller teams.
