WIS. STATE LEAGUE.
The Opening Games Played Sunday
to Good Attendance.

STANDING OF CLUBS.

The teams composing the Wisconsin
State League have begun the season
and from the attendance at each of the
games, it would indicate that lively
interest is taken in the sport this year,
and no doubt at the end of the sea-
son the promoters will find that the
sporting enterprise has been a profit
able one. The weatherman handed out
q sample of good weather,-one condu
Give to good ball playing. In the Wau-
sau-M arshield game though no excur-
sion was run from the latter town as
had been expected, there were about
1900 people in attendance-about 900
paid admissions and about 800 who
jumped the fence. The latter element
will be considerably less at games to
follow, for the management intend in
the future to make an example of some
of them that will have a tendency to
make others pay their way or stay
away. the grand stand was taxed to
its utmost capacity, and crowds lined
both sides of the diamond, while a
string of vehicles lined the west fence.
1t was a jolly crowd, and though par
tisan, did not throw any slurs at the
visitors. In fact there was not the
least excuse for doing so, for the article
of ball put up was clean, and there was
no jangling or questioning of the UNI
pire's decisions to mar the game. 1t
was good game all the way through,
though the score would indicate the
reverse, and though Wausau won,
the boys had to play bali all the time.
Marshfield's weak spot appeared to
be in its batting Though this was the
first game that Mahaffey has pitched
this season, the visitors were unable
to touch him when scores were needed.
Marshfield won the tossup and went
to bat first. For three innings they
were compelled to put down big cy-
pliers in their run column, when finally
in the fourth they secured scratch run.
After that goose eggs were doled out to
them, and at the end of the game they
had enough of these for a respectable
setting Wausau started to score in
the first inning and made runs in every
inning except the fifth and eighth. For
seven innings Re Voyr pitched for
MarShfield, at the end of which time he
was pulled out and Roxy Walters
substituted. Bebeau, for Wausau, done
the best batting, making two Dagger
and two drei sackers, thus winning the
box Of cent cigars offered by Hoene
Bros. for the first three base hit. Other
players made long hits which secured
them as many as three bases through
errors of the team from the slot ma
chine town. The Wausau's did not
play the last half of the ninth owing to
the fact that they had all the runs they
needed to entitle them to the game.

sented in the league will have pretty
stiff teams in the field.
Baker, who played center field for
Marshfield and made several good plays,
is Wausau boy and is employed in
this city.
Quite a number drove over from
Athens and Edgar to see the game.
Had the excursion been run the attend
ance would have been doubled.
Martin Lee came up from Stevens
Point but did not take part in the game,
as expected, but spent the afternoon
visiting friends. He has signed, how
ever, to catch for Marshfeld.
Johnny Lee umpired Sundays game
and gave good satisfaction. He should
exercise little more of the authority
vested in him, however, he keep those
disposed to kick out of the diamond
when the game is on.
1t is expected that large crowd will
90 over to Marshfeld next Sunday, at
which time the second game will be
played between these teams, and the
teams will be more evenly matched for
Marshfield will load up.

FOR ANOTHER BRIDGE.

We understand that another effort is
being made by the residents at the low
er end of town to have bridge con-
Structed across the river near the Brodie
tannery. Petitions are being circulat-
ed, which receive the signatures of
many interested in the matter. These
papers vial be presented to the council
to be acted upon at an early meeting.
Some years ago the matter of building
this bridge was agitated, and though
many desired to see it constructed, yet
the council deemed that the city was so
deeply in debt that it would be imprac-
ticable to still further increase the bur-
den of the taxpayers at that time. The
instigators of the movement argue, and
their arguments appear logical, that the
construction of this bridge would re-
the city 1t would save much travel
to those who wish to transact business
on each side of the river in that section
of town. The greater portion of the
factories are located in the southern
portion of the city, which are compelled
to rely considerably for their raw ma
terial on the farmers, and if the bridge
was in existence many of the latter
would be saved about four miles I'M
necessary travel. 1t would also be
benefit to the factory men and also all
citizens living in that portion, especial
ly those on the west side, for in case of
fire the east side department could
reach that vicinity much easier than it
could by crossing the slough and falls
bridges. What the outcome of the mat
ter will be the development of time
will tell.

TRAINING SCHOOL.

The students of the Training School
took the train at 8 a. m. Saturday for
Granite Heights. They were ferried
over the river Immediately to Mr.. Wells
farm where abundant opportunity to
study trees and shrubs presented itself.
They wandered along the shore stop
ping at intervals to rest under trees
nearly a century old. After a few
games of base ball in a meadow, and
an elaborate spread upon the bank of
the river, the party took to the row.
boats again and spent the rest of the
day rowing up as far as the rapids"
They talked, sang and exercised their
ingenuity at storytelling and fishing
There were few reports, however, of
any tension on the tackle. Theparty
rowed backtto Heights about 6 O'Clock,
and after a game of base ball there
they returned feeling that to live it
over again would only enhance the
pleasure which it brought them. The
Misses Ttornton, Wendorf and Rein,
1900, Cmpanied the party.
Mr.. Axel Clarine, 100, visited the
school today and reports a very sue
cessful year. He will occupy posi-
ton as bookkeeper during the summer,
and is planning to spend the coming
year in the Normal School at Stevens
Point. Axel is determined to get a
higher education and he is grateful for
the start which last year brought TO
him.

the Appleton Meet.

son in time to meet the boys at the
train. Billy Hart was mascot and rub
Der" and worked like charm.
Where personal rivalries enter into a
team it means almost certain defeat;
there was nothing of this sort to con-
tend with in our team. Then the effect
of good team work was especially
noticeable in the relay race; every man
was good and each did his best.
A great deal of credit is due Mr..
Schultz for his excellent coaching and
his untiring zeal in working with the
team.
When the boys arrived at the juno
ton, after the meet, they had only
twenty minutes for supper, but con-
trived to stow away a pretty good meal,
though they devoured sandwiches and
milk at Eland with a relish. HiIarity
reigned on the journey home and any
kind of pranks were in order; all of the
large stations on the road home were
favored with the Wausau yell" and
most of the smaller ones heard the good
news in no uncertain tones. The first
sound that greeted the ears of the vic
torious team on approaching the Wau-
sau station was the boom of the cannon,
followed by fullisade of smaller fire
works. There was no necessity for the
team to yell at Wausau-the high school
did that for them and pandemonium
reigned for some time. On the way up
town, John Young, the confectioner,
treated the whole team to an ice cream
soda, and although the coach objected,
and some of the boys at first refused to
indulge in forbidden Injuries, they
were finally coaXed into taking one
treat on the understanding that it
should be the only one until after the
Madison meet. The team then went
home though the celebrating continued
at intervals until about twelve o'clock.
Wausau should be proud of the show
ing made at Appleton and undoubtedly
more than one dignifed citizen felt like
shouting with the crowd:
Kippe cock, cock, cock,
Kippe cock, cock, co-bah!
Kippe cock! Kippe co-bah!

for him to make trip across the

twelve blind pigs are running wide
open and the states attorney up

On his next visit to the city the
attorney general will find a decid-

of the sidewalks and will probably
be able to navigate them without
getting out into the street where
he would be in danger from pas
sing vehicles. When he gets one

IT begins to look very much as
if the republican party intends to
flop clear over on the tariff ques-
ton before the next campaign,
just as we predicted some weeks
ago. Taking President McKin-
ley's last speech for keynote
republican papers and speakers all
over the land are beginning to
argue in favor of tariff revision
and the placing of various articles
on the free list. Are our republi-
can friends prepared to admit that
they have all along been on the
wrong side of the tariff question,
while the democrats have been
right, or will they just flop with
outtrying to explain.
