BASE BALL.

/ OeuAO6u ". mdUiJOWOC II
n The two games with Oshkosh, Thursda.
8 and Friday. were unlike as possible
4 Thursdays game was slow, dull ant
2 fsatureless. The hitting was about eyer
but Oshkosh punched theirs a littl,
: better, and were assisted by two very
= costly errors IN Manitowoc's center gar.
8 den, each one of which was responsible
! for two runs. Green's slow balls could
3 not be pushed out very far for some
reasons, and the locals put up a rather
sleepy article OF ball anyhow, Some
, very stupid base running spoiled several
, possible scores. fridays game was very
different, and although one sided was de-
cldedly interesting, the interest centering
on the possibility OF shut ont. The
shut out was accomplished by Runkel's
effectiveness in the box, he only allowing
three puny singles in the nine innlnge.
The visitors fielding was decidedly yell
low, and helped materially to pile up the
locals run column. Dietzler was a not
able exception, he accepting thirteen out
of fourteen chances at third base, which
is an unusual record for that position.
RunkeI worked 10 home run drive with
two men on bases, and everyone took
fall out of pitcher Ellis, who was both
wild and ineffective. HIS work was ably
seconded by Banderob With three passed
balls and an error. The visitors were
| badly outclassed and never had show.
| 1t is difficult to understand how they
managed to win the first game.
