BASE BALL.
RACINE WENT DOWN BEFORE US.

regards weather The people were afraid
of it and the attendance at the ball game
was very slim, but it was very appreci-
ative. The Racine boys came down Tor
the very evident purpose OF abductlng
our reputation, and they would have
succeeded in their unholy purpose
had not our mutual friend Mr.. Windorf
at the suggestion of Robbie Holderness
put in most serious objection, the SIN
cerity of which was doubtless. AS the
Inter Ocean man expressed it he shot hot
burning curves down toward the
the batter like lightning down a shlngle
roof. The Racine boys struck at the Dali
in a timid listless way that was suggestive
of La Grippe in the family. The game
opened in great style Labagh crossed
the plate in the first while no one on the
other side got a side glance at it. In the
second inning our boys put five scores TO
their credit. while the fellows from the
Belle City went out in one two three Or
der. No one scored after that until the
fifth when three Racine men crossed the
plate. The game was very pretty one;
so was Racines third base man. he
seemed to have desire to show us how
to play ball but his examples were OF
town ball days. They were hardly the
proper thing at this date. He had a
mild. sweet voice that reminded one of the
gentle murmurings of the buzz saw in the
primitive Western saw mill. He left
town uncaged but carefully guarded.
He talked in an aimless sort OF way as
the hot tears rolled down his cheeks after
the game but his sentences were dlscon-
nected and difficult to understand. We1
hope he will retire from the game. The
Park Citys played a surprisingly good
game and showed conclusively that there
was good base ball material there. La
bagh's playing was very good, as was that
of Holderness and Windorf.> There were
no big hits during the game. The Racine
boys went home Saturday evening. They
| all seemed satisfied with their treatment
here with single exception. He had to
be furnished a topic Of conversation.
There is talk of further games with the
Athletics, and we hope that the boys will
come again. They are nice gentleman
lv set of fellows and have a great many
| friends here. The following is the score
by innings:

| On Sunday afternoon, as announced,
the Park Citys and the Mil Haukee
Nationals crossed bats. Heavy black
clouds gathered in the West and several
times gentle rain drops molstened each
nlayers brow. Notwithstanding the fact
that several excursions "were on" and
the threatening aspect of the elements,
fair sized crowd gathered at the Associa-
ton Park to witness the contest. The
game opened with our boys at bat, and
base on balls, an error and a single netted
one run. Milwaukee was shut out in the
last half. Our boys made goose egg in
the first of the second, but the Brewers
found the ball and secured two runs. In
the third the home team scored two on
hits by Baldwin and Writ, and sacri-
flee bv Miller Milwaukee came in with
fire in her eye and tied the score. The
fourth and fifth were BANKED by sharp
fielding on both Sides In the sixth both
mines added one to their score and tie, it
was again 4 to T. The P. C's. went out
in one two three order in the first Of the
seventh and Milwaukee scored one, TAX
inc the lead, however a hit by MischO,
stolen base, and a sacrifice by Holderness
Melted one more for Kenosha and tied the
score for the third time The boys from
the Cream City made none in the last half.
Now came the first Of the ninth, the last
hope for victory. The home club were
| nerved for the occasion. Dickhaut made
single Kleist took a base on balls then
Baldwin sent the ball far out between
right and center for two bases, two runs
resulted, the game was won. In the last
| half of the ninth the other fellows sue
ceeded in getting two men on bases, but
there they stayed. Both clubs put up a
good game, and especially the home team.
Miller and Baldwin deserve credit for
their work. Miller captured several hard
hits on left, and Baldwin has four put outs
and eight assists with no errors to his
credit at short. The club is doing excel
lent work and deserves the patronage Of
all who take any interest in the national
game The following is the score:
l 3 7 80
Park Cities :. Il 90 q 7
Nationals 30 90 o. 5
Batteries: Windorf and Holderness,
Bulhagen and
The battery work Of both mines was
| good.

Who said Kenosha's ball club was no
good?
The crowd at Sundays game was small
but appreciative. They showed their
ability to judge of good and difficult
play by timely applause.
