THEY PLAYED GOOD BALL
But the Stars Played Better and Won
the Game.

the Game.
We have met the enemy and we are
theirs. That was the sorrowful tale re-
lated by nine youths composing the
Redwood Junior base ball club, after
a sharply contested and exciting game,
in which the Marshall Silver Stars
we're contestants and victors, last
Monday, down on the Agricultural So
ciety grounds.
About three hundred enthusiastic
Redwood men and women laughed
and applauded for the home talent,
while hardly a bakers dozen of Mar
shallites, among them Ray Baldwin,
Midget Drake, Pitcher Carter, and
would-be pitcher Swanson, changed
the air from deep blue to fiery red
whenever the Stars forged to the front
or made score. 1t was jolly good
audience, all in all, and no blood was
shed, or even attempted.
The Stars were strengthened by two
of the regular Marshall club, Webster
and Clifton, and these two added ma
teriany in beating the Juniors, Web
ster scoring three times and making
two hits, while Clifton scored once
and made three hits. .'.>
Matters were quiet in the first inning
and in the first half of the second.
Then the Juniors came to bat, Dickin-
son going out on foul fly, Ed Luscher
getting his base on Clifton's error,
Theiring and Drake both making
singles, Luscher scoring, and Their
ing scoring few seconds later on an
error of Webster. Rollins few out to
centre; Welch got his base on an or
ror of Smith and on wild throw
Drake came home. Welch, however,
was caught stealing third.
In the first half of the third the
Stars captured two scores, Maxson
getting base on balls, Webster, Cliff
ton and Snapp making base hits, tie
two former scoring, Swanson striking
out, Clifton going out at the home
plate and Snapp at third on fielder's
choice by Smith. The Juniors were
retired in one, two, three order in
their half.
In the fourth inning both sides we're
retired quickly and without making a
score, but in the first half of the fifth
Webster tied the score, getting first
on hit by ball and coming in on
singles by Snapp and Smith. In this
same inning, Rollins, for the Juniors,
got first on a hit, second on a wild
pitch and on a two Dagger by Welch
crossed the plate. WEIGH never got
home. Score, Juniors 4, Stars 8.
Sixth-The Stars tied the score,
Upper making base hit, stealing
second and coming home on an error.
The Juniors did not score, and as the
score was to 4, the following innings
we've watched with deep interest. The
seventh, eighth and ninth were char
acterized by sharp playing on either
side, notably Gene brakes work at
second, and Notwithstanding the fact
that both sides had men on bases, no
scores were made. In the tenth Charlie
Luscher's arm gave out, he having
pitched since the third inning, and
rafting game, too-and after two men
had been put out the Stars bounced
down and batted him numerically,
Swanson getting his base on an error,
MaxsOn making q hit, as also did
Webster, leaving three men on bases.
Clifton came up next, and making
single, sent the first across the plate.
Then came Snapp and with long
three Dagger, nearly down to the
northern stretch of the race course,
cleaned the bases, excepting himself,
and he came in on a single by Smith.
Laudenschlager few out and the side
was retired. The Juniors got five men
to bat, but not one of them saw the
home plate. Score:
