The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1896-08-06

HE excursion given by the Heyday
Club on Sunday last was largely attend
ed and most enjoyable time was had, as
the weather was perfect and the lake
calm and tranquil on both the downward
and return trIps. The steamer Iowa
which carried the e2cursionists, easily &C.
commodated the four hundred or more
passengers, and won the praise OF all by
her graceful and speedy movements
through the water. The trip to Sheboy
gan was made in exactly two hours and
ten minutes from pier to pier, and the
boat was not crowded to accomplish this.
Belongs orchestra headed the eXcurSsOn-
lists from the Goodrich dock ID Sheboy-
gan up through the town, where the
party d1sbanded for the noon-day meal.
In the afternoon game Of base ball
was played by the Manitowoc and She
boygan teams and the latter team won by
a score of II to g. The game was rather
listless and abounded in glanDg errors
and wild throws on both sides. No in
dividual player can be held accountable
for the defeat of the home team, us near
ly all the players played their positions IN
poor and uncertain manner, yet errors
made by Rathsack were quite costly and
were responsible for several runs. Will
Torrson played third base in place Of
VIII
sidering that he is unused 10 the position
did fairly we'll. ShebOygan stole second
at will, for the simple reason that Bartels
don't play the bag right, and never did.
Bartels cal ried off the batting h0nors
though, and out of five times at bat he
secured four hits, one of them being n
three Dagger.
A wrangle occurred during the game
| over a decision of Herzog's against a She
boygan base runner, which was finally
retracted when the ShebOygans threaten
ed to dlsallow the Manitowoc team Its
share Of the gate receipts. The man to
all appearances was fairly out too.
The Manitowoc team made most OF It's
runs in the second inning, when W. Tor
| rison, Vollendorf and Reuther singled
and Bartels cleaned the bases with a
| corking three base hit. A. TorriSon,
Johnson and Schuette also scored
in this inning on bases on balls and err
rors of the Sheboygan,team. In the sev'
| enth Rosenfelder and Barteis scored two
earned runs on successive singles, \. Tor
rison's lily to right field and Schuette s
| two base drive. Sheboygan scored three
runs in the first inning on hits by Uhl
| Wolf and Leibl and errors by Reuther
and Bartel Two more runs came Ia II
| the third inning, both being earned by
safe hits by the same men. Uhl and Vol
scored again in the 9Th inning, al error
by Ratbsacll beng largely responsible
for them.
Ia the 9th, koetlier made long drive
to center field for a home run, scoring
Schils who WIS resting on second base
after having singled and stolen tue sec
ond bag Uhl again singled, stole second
took third on VOLTS safe drive into tn,
field and scored on Lelbl's fly to Rath
sack. In the ninth Rolls was gwen n life
and on wild pitch and timely sacrificing
| made the rounds of the bases.
Fifteen hundred people witnessed tn
game and as almost the entire Manitowo
party was 10 attendance, plenty of en-
enlargement was given both teams b,
their adherents.
When Sheboygan plays Il return gam
, here on the sixteenth Of this month,
good game may be expected, as the Nam
towocs will undoubtedly play better o
the home grounds, and they also declar
2 that they will defeat the Sheboygans JUS
as surely as they come here. The sun
, | mary of the game is as follows.
