Baseball

Probably the best game here Of the
! season-by all odds them most brilliant
was the one Sunday between the
Janesvilles and the Schiller &
| Quentmeyers. The score was 8 TO 2
in favor of the latter. The game
| abounded in sharp feldirgand pretty
playing on both sides, and Fowler's
work in particular was Of a praise
worthy character, some of his PLAYS
! being truly wonderful He also put
up q great game at the bat aud on
the base-llnes, getting two Of the four
hits and two Of the threeruns credited
to the home team. The pitchers easily
shared the hOnors with him, and the
admirers OF Oestreicher we're highly
gratified to see him in his old-tin1e
form again He struck out fifteen
men. The JanesVi!es had the three
professionals-Doran, Wilbur and.
Birminghanl-with them, and, Of
course, their playing was above the
ordinary. Taken altoget her, the con-
test was as tine an exhibition of the
national game as one could wish to
see, and Was thoroughly appreciated
by the large crowd present. The

The baseball tournament at Ocono-
mowoc was concluded last Thursday
morning with a game between the
OconomoWocs and the Schiller &
Quentmeyers. The former won bva
score Of IS to 4. To those not we'll
posted on the facts in the case, it NAV
seem ridiculous that a club having a
fOurthclass rating like the Oconomo-
woes should be able to so badly defeat
q team Of the S. & Q.'s standing. but
when 1t IS known that the nine repre-
sentng OcOnomowoc was composed of
the very best material obtainable in
the state and that not a single player
from that town was in the team, it puts
a different phase on the subject Here
are the players: Battery, Schicker and
Dixon, Jane6ville; first base, Hing.
Jefferson; second base, Mills, Lake
Mills; third base, Birmingham, Mari
nette State league club; shortstop, VIII
bur, Marquette Northern Michigan
league club; right field, Williams, Wau-
kesha; center, 0. Roessler, Jefferson;
left, A. Roessler, Jefferson. It is un-
derstood that this team cost it's mama
gers $3.50.
Saturday at Juneau the Schiller &
Quentmeyers were again defeated bva
picked nine representing that place.
SChicker and Dixon were the battery
for juneau, and NJ. Smith and Gillen
for Watertown. Smith pitched an ex-
cellent game, allowing his opponents
but two hits and striking out thirteen
men. Had he been properly support
ed the game wonld have resulted diff
ferently. The manner in which our
juneau correspondent refers to the
game is rather misleading, as he seems
to have the impression that our club is
professional one and that the Ju-
neaus were composed of a lot Of green
amateurs. In reply We wish to say that
the S. & Q. team, as made up last Sat-
urday, contained no professionals at all,
while the Juneaus had at least three
Doran, Wilbur and Birmingham. The
score at the close was to g.
The Hard Tacks" and ''Sure Cures'
of Woodard & Stones bakery PLAYED a
game of ball Saturday afternoon at the
ball park, the former being victorious
by a score of y to 10. It took ten in
nings to decide the contest Chapman
and Woodard were the battery for TIE
"Hard Tacks," and Stacy and Kunitz
for the ''Sure Cures.''
