TWO GAMES,
Ely Wins Them From the Bad
gers of Superior.
WE'LL PLAYED GAMES.

Saturday and Sunday to feel proud of
our base ball boys. The boys strength
ened the opinions of local admirers Of
the game in regards to their BALI
playing procliyities and their perfect
knowledge Of the intricacies of the
National game. Everyone who wit
messed the games was perfectly salts
lied with the exhibition put up by
both clubs and especially with the
article Of bah presented by the Ely
team.
Saturdays game was the best exhi-
hibition Of the two, the Ely boys go
ing to bat first and knocking out four
runs before the side was retired. In
this inning the Superior boys were
first made aware Of the fact that
they had ball players to deal with,
especially so after the Badgers were
retired without q scratch on their
tally sheet in the first inning, which
also characterized the second and
third innings while Ely scored one in
the second. The Badgers took one in
the fourth and through u succession
OF errors secured four in the fifth. 4
whiteWash in the sixth, one tally in
the. seventh and two in the ninth
inning was all they were allowed,
making total OF eight. Ely came
to the front with two in the fifth, one
in the sixth and seventh, three in the
eighth and one in the ninth showing
their score to be Is The game was
well played throughout. DR.. Ship
man did the umpiring in straight
forward gentlemanly manner to the
satisfaction of all.
Sunday the Badgers lined up with a
new pitcher in the box. The Ely
boys found the new man better than
they did the old one and after the
first inning nc was taken cut and an
other put in. This man met a hard
er fate than the other and the third
man was started--the same that
pitched Saturdays game. The Bad
gers scored two runs in the first half
OF the first inning and the Ely boys
took one In the next the visiting
team captured a goose egg and the
Ely's took three scores. The next
proved rather disastrous for the Bad
gers, only being allowed one run
while Ely took five. In the fourth
The Superior team took two and Ely
followed suit. The fifth added two
oh the visitors score while Ely cap
tilred three In the sixth, the Bad
gers made enc and Ely four. The
next proved rather hard nut to
crack. Superior opened with six
runs and Ely was treated to mag
nifcent dose OF. white wash which
same dose was administered to the
home team in the next inning. The
Ely's did not play their ninth inning
and the Badgers drew a prize in the
shape of two goose eggs IN the eighth
and ninth. The game stood Is to IS
in favor Of Ely. Had the accident
not happened to Sullivan and Bern
stein in the first inning, no doubt the
score would not have run up SO high.

NOTES.
Everyone in upper Michigan knows
what kind of a player Matt Gleason
used to be. He has lost none of his
powers and playes just as good games
as formerly considering he has not
played for several years. A spectator
in the Tower-Ely game three weeks
ago remarked that "Gleason could
play any four ordinary men by him
self.

The Superior boys were a whole
souled lot of fellows and the Ely 1peo-
pie enjoyed having Them here. A
