The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1896-08-13


high Valley line arrived here yesterday
to take on 80 car loads of flour from the
warehouse OF the Wisconsin Central.
This Is the first shipment from this city
direct to Buffalo and the first Of the line
steamers to call here on business. 1t is
the fulfillment of IL promise made by the
Central that we were TO have direct and
uninterrupted communication with Bur
falo by water. This Is but the beginning
of this business which will have SO i'm
portant q bearing on the future OF Mani
towOc.
Manager Henry of the line was III the
city yesterday. He came here to look
view to future business. The manager
OF the Lack8wana was in the city last
week and the manager OF another line is
expected here soon. This IS what the
Central has brought us. The Importance
Of putting the harbor In shape to receive
these boats Is now quite evident.
James j. Nagle has secured the con-
tract to load these boats here. He says
the bus less of the line will be greatly
increased If these boats can be loaded
quickly. He does not want to bring
crews from outside in case he can get
men here on whom he may rely. He will
pay just the same wages per hour that is
paid in Chicago and Milwaukee, but
wants men on whom he can depend as
these boats Mill tolerate no delay. 1t
will be to the mems interest to be dill
gent and faithful.
THE KaukaunRs came over and scalped
the Manitowocs on Sunday last. 1t was
fine and exciting game though. An
error by Maritowoc's first baseman in
the first inning gave Kaukauna three
runs. They held the lead until the sixth
inning when the score was tied. On the
9Th they added three to their score and
the game ended to IN favor Of Kau-
ksuna.
1t is the fashion to attribute loss OF
games to the umpire, a custom by no
means to be commended. The umpire
last Sunday has the ability to be a good
one, but at critical periods he is decidedly
unfair. His counting "Orrin" Torrison
out twice, at first and at Third was q
fragrant abuse OF privilege. The yells OF
dlsapproval at other decisions was un.
called for, as their was no purpose to be
unfair there being nothing to be gained
by it. TIE KaukRun8 club does not
need the umpire as tenth man OF the
team. 1t is as good an amateur team as
ever played on the diamond. The facts
prove they are little more than match
for our boys. Their victories should not
be tainted by suspicious OF unfairness or
| the part of the umpire The two de-
cisious referred to were the only ones
| made which were censurable; but they
| we're made ut a critical time and evident
ly with purpose. 1t is more thar
| probable they were not needed by the
Kaukaunas who played with the win
and steadiness OF professionals. But i
is certain they destroyed chances OF tn,
| Manitowocs to score.
Vollendorf pitched magnificent game
He has quit devoting more OF his time t.
bases than to the batter and has thereby
greatly increased the efficiency OF BIZ
work.
| The game was god one. an exciting
one, except that half the people on TIT
grand stand had their view entirely Gu
off by the crowds pressing forward an(
stubbornly refusing Ito be gentleman.
| A special train brought over 200 peopl
from kaukaunR. They took their victor.
with cOmmendable moderation. II Wa
one to be proud of if the two black spot
| were erased.
