The battle was marked by sharp
fielding in the infield of both teams
and in which Hans Newman, the
shortstop of the locals was a bright
and shining star and sharing honors
with Art Klauschie and Ronka of
the visiting team.
The pitching honors between Andy
Graves, veteran of many a hard
fought game and Herb Swanson, the
local slab artist were decidedly with
the local lad and who was nicked for
but six hits, well scattered through
the game while Andy was found for
nine bingles, two being doubles by
Wild Bill Mason, the batting wonder
of the 1927 season. Swanson struck
out six and Graves two.
The game opened as though the
locals would have to do real battle
to annex the victory. Plattsmouth
opened the scoring in the last of the
first inning when Pete hoisted a high
one to left field that Alvy Graves
made a great run to try and spear
but could not reach the ball, and
suffered an injury to his leg. Rei
chart and Young were then retired
when Art Klauschie came up' and hit
to right and Pete came in from sec
ond for the run.
The Bellevue score was acquired
in the second inning when two hits
were tallied and which produced the
desired run. Echtemeyer. the flashy
first sacker of the visitors rapped a
clean one to center and when Ronka
hit one to the right ' garden wall,
Echtemeyer scored for his team
mates. Plattsmouth again scored in the
fourth inning when Klauschie hit to
center, was sacrificed to second by
Mason and tallied on the hit of New
man to center.
In the sixth the locals again took
picks on Andy and his gang and add
ed another run to their list, Young
getting on when Pavilka Juggled his
grounder, sacrificed by Klauschie,
and scoring when Bill Mason drove a
hot two bagger out to left field.
The last scoring for either side was
in the eighth frame of the struggle
when Plattsmouth added two more
runs for good measure. Art Kluasthie
was featured In a clean drive to cen
ter and when Mason again nicked
Andy for a two bagger, Art arrived
at third base. On the sacrifice fly of
Newman to right Art scored and
Mason tallied when Spidell sent a
hot grounder through second base.
The game was one of the snappiest
played this season and was over a
few minutes after 4 o'clock.
