APPEL did not pitch for Oshkosh in their
first game OF the championship series

When the otner teams of the state

defeat the winner
The Fond du Lac papers speak very
highly of the treatment their team re-
ceived here Sunday The team saws it
is well satisfied with the result of the
game.
The Milwaukee base ball team has
been up against the real thing in it's
games with the minor teams of the state.
They narrowly escaped defeat at the
hands of the Watertown and Sheboygan
teams. Manitowoc should have secured

could surely give them "A good run for
their money.
There We're several foolish exhibitions
OF base running in the game with Fond
du Lac last Sunday Some of the at
tempts to steal second base were simply
suicidal, though the runner was safe in
most cases through errors on the part of
Fond du Laos second basemau. This
shows poor coaching or rather no coach
ing whatever on the part of Manitowoc.
This seems to be weak point in the
playing OF the home team and the
bleachers have to holler repeatedly for
coacher to be sent to the base lines
Steps should be taken to remedy this
matter in succeeding games.

gone, Joss got pop single and chased
around TO second before the fielders got
out of their trance. This was followed
by Nollendorf's single, an out, and a
triple by Raih, accompanied by some
wild throwing in the infield, all of which
produced three runs. In the next Kadow

circuit on very wild throw by Cat her
Smith. The visitors could not sdu4eze
any one over the plate until their sixth
