Kenosha and Racine Have a Fierce
Fight on the Diamond in Racine
on Sunday Afternoon.
RACINE SHOWS YELLOW STREAK.
Players Leave the Field After Kenosha
HAD Tied the Score in the Ninth
Inning Game Probable.

The bunch of has beens Ia the Keno
sha base ball team came to long
enough Sunday to get game and
while the method was little Of the
jimmy order still the last game of the
Racine series was chalked up to Keno
sha with a score of 9 0. The really,
really, score was eight to eight with
the Racine team stiI1 in position to
have another..rap.
1t all came at the start of the ninth
inning. Kenosha needed one run to
tie the score and there was one man
out. Breen.managed to get a life at
first and Freitag sent hot one down
| to first. Both The runners adopted the
tactics of ssThe Pickett" in the recent
American derby and Breen managed
to finish a nose ahead of the ball. The
Racine players had been favored by
the umpire sall afternoon and when
they saw chance for double they
threw up their caps and carried the
umpire off the field on their shoulders.
It was then that Breen calmly walked
around to the home plate and tied the
score.
Then there twas something doing.
The umpire admitted that he was be-
ing hustled from the grounds, that
there was no obstacle to Breen's scor-
| ing as he was not out at second.
Jimmy Duffy went into trance and
worked his jaw faster than a buzz saw
in country planning mill; Larry Ma
honey had fit aud big Pete Ollie wept
bitter tears. Jack Katol, he OF the
yellow streak, who had been piped up
as pitcher, did stunt of hypnotism
while the Kenosha players smiled the
Foxy Grandpa smile and looked happy.
There was one other feature and that
was faithful old Pete Hermann, never
| a gutter, who sat at his post Of duty
on the home bag and waited patiently
for the bail. When the Kenosha man
came in Pete saw the joke and he
broke out into loud guffaw which
resounded through the grand stand.
The Racine rooters couldn't realize
how it all happened and pandemonium
reigned. Women tainted in their
| places while men leaped over the bar
riers and tried to solve the stunt of
parlor magic that had been worked by
the Kenosha team.
In the mass that gathered the Racine
players escaped-c crest fallen and hui
inflated to such an extent that they
refused to finish the game. The bril-
| liant sunset fell over the picture bring
ing out in bold relief the yellow sports
manship of the Racine team.
When Duffy and Armstrong came
to half an hour later they concluded
to call the game tie and another
game will be played to settle the dis
pute. With the exception Of the finish
the game was considerable Of farce.
Both teams played the game in fash
ion to make strong men weep.
Wiegand, the importation from De-
catur, pitched gilt edge game but his
support was miserable. The Racine
team started the thing going IN the
second when, without single hit,
three runs we're scored. In the third
/ two hits and brace of errors and stu
pid plays gave the opposition five more
runs. This ended the scoring for Ra-
cine and the rest of the game it was
one, two, three and out,
Kenosha started scoring in the sixth
when Katol was knocked out Of the
box and the knockout resulted in three
runs coming IN. In the seventh Duffy
Smiling James-took the box work
and Kenosha piled up four more.
Then came the heart breaking ninth
which ended the game in roar with
the Kenosha men still at bat. About
six hundred Kenosha fans attended
the game. The score in all its horri-
Bile detail follows:
