Way out on the table land, one mile
from the centre of the city of Redwood
Falls, is located base ball diamond,
memorable for being the place on
which many base ball contests have
been lost and won. And, there, last
Monday afternoon, under q hot sun,
with an occasional cooling breeze from
the valley of the Redwood, giant met
giant, Greek met Greek, and for near
ly three hours waged the most terrific
base ball contest ever known among
the amateur clubs of Southwestern
Minnesota.
There nine wiry and determined
young base ball players from Marshall
and a number of admirers came; there
nine gallant base ball sons of Red
wood-the cream of her talent-as-
semb]ed, and with them were admir-
ers galore; there, after II inning
contest, the Marshall nine were
vanquished, the Redwood nine
crowned, and an extra wreath given to
the winning scoremaker, Charlie
Luscher.
Society was out in its latest gowns
and mingled with the active, progress
sive and industrious Redwood Falls
business men, the gay colors of new
costumes worn by local social bellies,
made 4he spc ctacle enticing, entranc-
ing and beautiful to behold. There
we're young ladies to smile on the
wearers of the blue, the vanquished.
but, of course, the Redwood nine came
in for the major share of the applause
from those fair hands.
The game was watched with intense
interest, and when Redwood, in the
ninth inning tied the Marshall score,
it seemed as if the crowd wonld 90
wild. Hats, coats and umbrellas were
thrown in the air by the male enthusi-
asts, while handkerchiefs were waved
by many a fair hand, and when Char
lie Luscher made the winning score in
the 18th, after two men were out, the
cheering, yelling, screaming, hand
shaking and waving of kerchiefs broke
out anew, kept up for several moments,
during which Charlie Luscher was
dragged over the field. But to details:
Marshall went to bat first: Bird,
Golden and Healy went out in one,
two. three order at first. French, for
