BASEBALL!
H. +, VS., DEFEATED
HOW ARE THE MIGHTY
FALLEN,
EAGLE RIVER WINS 4 CLOSE
GAME.


der pase ball team came over Sunday
ana played game with our club.
Alter beating the Amigo club SO bad
~ a few weeks ago and Knowing that
amigo had beaten us the Fourth
they thought they had easy work
ana came over with the full expecta-
ton OF shutting our nine out. In fact
thelr manager had stated that not
an Eagle River man would be allow
to reach third base.
Inc first inning settled the fact
that when they contracted to shut
out the home nine they had taken a
bigger job than they could handle.
The home nine went to bat first
ana made two runs from a base ON
balls a two Dagger and single.
In their half of the first inning the
y. f. WIS. struck the ball hard and
pounded out three runs. At this
timesit looked as though it was to be
a Smuggling match.
The home team tied the score in
the second inning, but from that time
to the fifth neither side saw home
plate. In their half OF the fifth the
o. F.Ws. again got in three scores.
In this inning after two men were
out Bishop of the O. F. VS.. batted
Il small grounder towards first base.
The catcher and first baseman star
ted for itand collided allowing him
to reach first base ana DOnahue and
Smith to score. If either player had
started for it alone he would have
been put out at first and instead of
three runs in that inning they would
have had Il goose egg.
In the next inning the home team
went to the bat with blood in their
eyes and q determination to close
up the gap and every one Of them
found the ball in fine shape which
aided by wild throws netted them
five runs. This gave them a lead
that the O. T. WIS. could not over
come.
This closed the run getting on both
sides. Twice after this the home
team had the bases full but could not
get IL man across the plate.
s4'he home teamsout-p1ayed the O.
f! VS.. all around except in base run
ming: Here they were weak. The o.
+. VS.. ON the other hand are good
base runners and took all chances
but after four of their men had been
thrown out at second they became
more cautious and chung pretty close
to their~bases.
Bald win and Hall held the points
for Eagle River and did good work,
striking out eight men to the o. r.
VS.. five. The home team put up a
good fielding game and distinguished
themselves from the Rhinelanders by
making no wild throws.
Brenton played second base Tor
Eagle River in as fine shape as it was
ever played outside of a league game.
He also captained in fine shape. Chas.
Hall distinguished himself by his SUI
Derb throwing to accompanying OUT
four men there. Fred Hall made
fine running catch of 81 fly in right
field as also did Starret in lett reld'
besides making the only two base MT
that was made.
For +he O. +. VS.. DOnahue carried
off the honors. He is the pest man
behind the bat in this neck OF the
woods Jewell in left field also cap
tured a fine fly.
The game was by all odds the pest
one over seen in Eagle River ana us
result was huge surprise party 10
