soux's Defeat cheyennes in Close Game
on the RedfieId College Grounds.
Redfeld, S. D., June 2O.-fhe baseball
game of the season occurred on the coll
lege grounds in this city yesterday when
the s3iouxs crossed bats with the Chey-
ennes. A large crowd was present to see
the game. The batteries for the teams
were: Fink and Reinecke for the Siouxs
and Rea, Balsiger and Bird for the Chey-
ennes. The score at the end of the eighth
inning when the game was called on ac-
count Of darkness was 10 to II in favor
Of the Siouxs.
This will close the season of baseball
for Redfleld college and the record which
the different teams have made is an en-
viable one. The regular team has won
eleven out of twelve games and the Siouxs
have not as yet met defeat considering
the fact that the Sioux team is made UP
of young women it is record to be proud
of. The Cheyennes are also young ladies
and they have given their sister team
many close rubs.
