JEFFERSON SHUT OUT.
Result of Sundays Ball Game-The
Sacred Hearts Also Defeat the
Madison Highs in Two

Games.
Though a drizzling rain set in about
1890 o'clock Sunday, the baseball
cranks were not prevented little
bit from going to see the great game
scheduled for the afternoon between
the jefferson Blues and the Sacred
Heart college team at the new park in
Jefferson. A special train was run
over the Northwestern road and large
crowds from all around this vicinity
were aboard it. The weather being
rather cold, the spectators exerted
themselves to keep warm and their
continual moving about and yelling
tended to arouse the enthusiasm to
its highest pitch. The game was
called at o'clock, with Jefferson at
the bat. Claude Elliott the famous
Portage twirler, appeared on the
slab for the Sacred Hearts. with
Kleinow behind the bat, johnson
on first, Kronitz on second. Krebs
on third, Walthers at short, O'Malley
in right field, DIsch in center and
Schetzke in left. The Jeffersons
lined up about the same as they
did when they played here, with the
exception that the Heimerl brothers
Eddie and Louie-did the twirling.
1t was utterly impossible for Jefferson
to bat Elliott successfully, although
occasionally they would get man on
base, but no chance to score. A
clean shut-out for Jefferson was the
result, while the Sacred Hearts by
good batting and baserunning amassed
a total of eleven runs The game
was devoid of unclean playing and
both teams won the appreciation of
the spectators by deporting them
selves as perfect gentlemen. Water
town sent a delegation. of about 500 to
the game, and pretty warm time is
reported. The summary follows:

Last Thursday the Sacred Hearts
went to Madison and took the high
school team of that city into camp by
a score OF 8 to 8 Joss had the Madi-
son boys at his mercy for seven in
nings, but he then eased up in his de-
livery and allowed them to touch him
for three runs. He was as usual fine
ly supported behind the bat by Klei-
now and the balance of the team
played almost perfectly, only two err
rOrs being made. Dodd and Schrie-
Der were in the points for Madison.
On Saturday afternoon the Madison
highs played a return game at Wash
ington park. It was a splendid ex-
hibition. in spite of the cold weather,
and good crowd enjoyed it, Madi-
son was considerably strengthened by
the presence of Check, the young
pitcher who is on the reserve list of
the Milwaukee league club. This
fact prevented the Sacred Hearts from
piling up large score, but they never
theless again proved their true met
tie and won out in the seventh inning
on magnificent hit for four bases oy
johnson, the trusty captain and first
baseman. This hit holds the record
for distance at Washington park.
