The Way Redwood Done Up Win.
throp July 4th.'

The Redwood team won q game of
ball from the Winthrop club in one
hour and As minutes out in the new
base ball park, near the Northwestern
depot, last Monday afternoon. 1t was
the initiatory game of the East street
grounds, and the young men wearing
the Redwood uniforms felt their oats,
and played ball with a vengeance.
They played almost an errorless game,
only two being charged up to them.
and only one of them costly. At the
bat they swiped the ball fer all that
there was in the game, and when they
finished their eighth inning, all that
was necessary to bring about the de-
feat of their opponents, they had ID
singles and three doubles credited to
their side.
On the other hand Dickson pitched
ball. The result was that Winthrop
only secured two hits off him, one of
which assisted in securing the two
scores made by the club. Mr.. Dick
son had superb support in Peterson
behind the bat, and every one who wit
messed the work of the crack catcher,
contended that be excelled all other
efforts. Never break did he make,
and all along the line his catching was
perfect. The score card tells the
game. Winthrop never made score
until the seventh inning, when it made
it's only two. B. Peterson got his base
on balls, Clausen secured his base on
an error of Jones, Dalquist was pre-
sented with base, making three men
on bases. Kempf made a beautiful
hit, and two men crossed the plate.
The Redwood team piled their
scores in the first and sixth innings.
In the first Birum secured his base on
an error of Kempf, Shoemaker hit
safe, Martin got his base on a fielder's
choice, Luscher made double, and
Thiering hit safe, all of these men
scoring before the side was retired. In
the second another score was added
on Birum getting his base on an error
of Beecher, and Shoemaker driving
him home on a double. In the third
couple of hits brought Thiering
across the plate. The fourth and fifth
resulted in ciphers. The sixth inning
the boys simply batted Dahlquist out
of the box, touching him up for seven
singles and double, for a total OF
eight scores. In the seventh it was a
cipher, and in the eighth inning they
secured two more on two errors and a
hit.
The receipts amounted to 5000, OF
which one-half goes to the Winthrop
team. The treasury of the association
will be increased quite few dollars
as the result of the game.
