Umpire Roach Of Waukegan Too
Rank a Proposition for the
Breen Aggregation.
BUT ONE HIT OFF KILLIAN.
Kenosha Loses the Game in the Third
Inning on Rank Errors by Ebert,
Schooley and Pease

the third and decisive game of the
series with Waukegan Sunday by a
score of to 2 at Electric park in
Waukegan, and thus must surrender
all claims to the championship of Il1i-
nois and Wisconsin. It was the last
game of the season and the defeat was
combination of robbery by the UNI
pire and errors in the fatal third inn
ing by three of the Kenosha stick
pushers.
The third netted three runs to Wau-
kegan and yet not hit was made in
this inning. Kenosha already had one
run which it had gathered in in the
first, well earned. In this Waterloo
inning Kenosha had put two out in
short order with no man on bases and
it looked like another goose egg when,
woe to the red and the black, the
slaughter began. An easy fly was
handed to Schoo1ey which he prompt
1y dropped and Mr.. Waukeganite
walked to first. The next man to bat
waited until four poor ones had passed
him and amb1ed to the initial sack
advancing his partner to second.
Ebert at short then had a lovely
chance to retire the side, by stopping
a simple, grounder, but threw wild to
Horn on first base and the bases were
filled. On the recovery of the sphere
it was passed to Hermann at home to
cut off run, but was too late and one
tally stood against Kenosha. Her
mann then threw to Pease on third to
catch shis man there, and Pease
promptly returned the ball wild to
home and number two shamb1ed
across the plate. This left one man
on first and one on third. A little
grounder was raped out to short,
and again there was a wild throw to
first and the third Waukeganite
wa1tzed home. And thus the fates
decreed that Kenosha should go down
in defeat by her own errors and not
run earned.
After the travesty of the third the
game was beautiful and no errors
were made. It was contest that was
married by nothing except the rank
ness of umpire Roach, who was jeered
by Waukegan and Kenosha fans alike,
for his apparent ignorance of the
game. His decisions we're awful and
he robbed Ki11ian out of at least eight
strike outs; who already had five to
his credit.
Kenosha made squirt in the last
inning and gathered in one more
earned run, which added to her run in
the first gave her a score of two, but
the strain was too much and the sea-
son ended, Kenosha 2, Waukegan, 8.
The game was more than we'll at
tended and there were in the neigh
borhood of 1900 fans to do their last
cheering for the season of 1904 About
400 went down from Kenosha, taking
the Northwestern and the boat, City
of Marquette. On the way back from
the game the fans had a long walk,
as the car ran off the track and there
was nothing to it but the rooters
must walk off their grief and exuber-
ence, according to the side they were
on.
It was a good game say all the en-
thusiasts, except that fatal third,
when the Kenosha boys played like
lot of school children. Well, cheer
up, we will do 'em next year.
