The Green Bay baseball team was

The Green Bay baseball team was
whitewashed by the home team last Sun
/ day afternoon. While the Green Bays
made frantic, though unsuccessful eff
/ forts TO get one runner across the home
| plate, the home team had not much diff
Guilty in hitting Massey hard enough to
complete the circuit dozen times. The
. fielding of the home team was remarkably
strong, The out-felders distinguished
themselves by long, hard running catches
and the iD-field played fast and furious.
i Every member of the team played his
part we'll and the errors were excusable
as the boys went after everything, inside
and outside their reach. Gerlach pitched
another good game, keeping the SIX hits
we'll scattered. His backing, however.
was as strong as any pitcher could ask
for. He was particularly effective when
he bad men on bases. His feat IN retIr-
ing the side with the bases fall and none
out IN the fifth inning was superb. Fitch
made fine impression at third. He is
hard and sure batter and fast man on
the bases, getting three stolen bases to
bis credit.
The Manitowocs scored 10 every inning
but two. In the first Fitch got first on
balls and promptly stole second, W.
Torrison took first on McGinnls' error.
Runkle hit for two bases scoring Fitch
and Torrison. In the second Vollendorf
| hit the first ball over the left field fence
for q home run. In the third R1nkle
| took first on four bad balls but WAS tore,
| ed out at second, Hart getting to first
Schuette and I. Torrison singled and
| Hart and Schuette scored. After Ger
ZACH went out in the fourth Fitch got
| single and again stole second, coming
home on W, Torrison's single. Schnette
got his home run in the fifth, putting the
| ball over where Vollendorf had. Gerlach
| got single in the sixth and stole second.
Lanzell muffed Fitch's fly after long
| run, scoring Gerlacb. Runkle was hit
I and took second on a passed ball, sub
| sequently completing the circuit. No
| runs came 10, in the seventh, but two
were added in the eighth on Runkle's
| double and Harris home run. They we're
blanked again In the ninth.
Nine men went to bat for Green Bay
IN the first three innings. In the fourth
they got two hits but Gerlach struck out
two men and Lace was forced out at
third. In the fifth Gerlach hit Long,
Byron singled and Lanzell WAS hit. The
bases we're full and none out. Gerlach
steadiea himself and struck out the next
two and Lace flew out to Rosenfelder.
Boulet got to first in the eighth after
two were out and got second on an error
off Longs hit. Byron nit to right and
Boulet started hone from second. Vol
lendorf got the ball and in fash re-
turned the ball to the home plate by
very pretty throw IN time to catch Boulet.
Manltowoc has never had a stronger
team than that which played last Sunday.
The patrons of the game demanded a
strong team this year and they now have
one. Having got a strong team it ought
to receive loyei support. The boys are
not only good ball players but it is our
boast that they are all well behaved,
gentlemanly Young fellows.
