a large uuulOtT VI ptOpIc dlteuucu
the base ball tournament at this place |
on Friday and Saturday of last week.
The Linden, Muscoda and Highland
clubs competed for the prizes. Min
eral Point and Boscobel clubs failed to
come. The Linden and Muscoda
clubs played on Friday, with the I'M
derstanding that should another club
come on Saturday the winning club
should play them for first money, and
the loser take second money; but if
no club came then Muscoda and Lin
den should play another game on
Saturday, just the same as if they
had not played on Friday. That was
agreed to by the leaders. Our club
made no pretense to compete for any
of the prizes. Muscoda boys stated
that they did not have their regular
pitcher nor catcher with them, but if
they would play on Saturday, they
would have them; that was also agreed
to. The game on Friday was won by
the Linden club. The score was II to
20. On Saturday the Linden boys
refused to play the Muscoda club for
the reason that they had two new
men. The managers could not induce
them to play. The Highland nine
was then called on to play Muscoda.
They agreed to play seven innings,
and at the end of the seventh innings
the score stood 4 and 4; then it was
agreed to play out the nine innings,
and at the close the score stood 5 and
6, in favor of MuScoda. 1t was by
far the most interesting game ever
played here. Jacob Fecht, Jr., the
pitcher of the Highland club, is II
years old, and is as good a curve
thrower as most of the professionals;
John Bhien, Jr., is the smallest boy
in the nine-his age is 16 years, but
he made his tally all right and did
good work in the field. Willie Ken
nedy played on first base and as
base runner he has few equals. Michael
Wotapeak played behind the batter
and cid some good work there. Abe
Lewis played ina the field, and never
muffed fly ball, and can throw as
good as anyone in the nine. John
Smith and Willie Delaney are each
good players. William Rubado and
| Albert Neibur are old timers, but
played better now than ever before.
The latter is the heaviest batter in
the nine-those wishing to know any
thing about Rubado's or Neibur's bat
ting are referred to the Linden boys
| they know them well. Willie Delaney
got his hand hurt in the early stage of
the game, and Thomas Meddlia took
his place. Thomas used to be a good
player but is out of practice, and it
could be seen in his playing. The
best of harmony prevailed Throughout
the entire game; and we can say that
the Muscoda boys are as nice a lot
of fellows as ever played game here,
and should they see fit to visit this
place again they will get a warm re-
ception from the boys here and from
the people in general. The Muscoda
and Highland cornet bands furnished
music each day. The Muscoda band
is composed of fifteen good musicians;
and besides they are gentlemanly fell
lows. Our band has not played better
for long time than they did on that
occasion.
The dance on the eve of the Odd
was largely attended and all had a
good time.
The horse race was won by J. H.
Jones mare; and the foot race by j.
II. Rule, of Linden; and the boys
race by Gordon Dolphin, of this place.
We witnessed the game of ball
played at Fennimore a short time ago
between the Mineral Point boys and
the Boscobel club. There score was IL
to -; SO the game here last Saturday
was far better game, the score being
and 6. The boys feel very we'll
pleased over the event although they
have lost money on it. J.w.G.
