Kenosha Team Puts Up a Great
Came on Field of American
League in Chicago.
SCHMlTT'S PITCHING SUPERB
Holds the Indians Down to Two Hits,
While the Kenosha Batters Take the
Feather Out of Rainy Daye's Cap.

With shut-out score of ten to
nothing the Kenosha base bail team
took terrible revenge on the Eufau1a
Indians at the American League base
ball park in Chicago Sunday. Not
long ago the Indians came to Keno
sha and, scouting the championship
claims the local team had made. pro-
ceeded to wallop the locals by score
OF. eleven to seven. Then the Indians
got chesty, and when the managers
OF the Tribune Ice Fund sought team
to match against them Charley Com
iskey suggested the Kenosha team.
twenty-five hundred people saw the
undoing of the Indians, and everyone
of those people is willing to admit
that the series with Racine was mis-
take, and that Kenosha has the strong
est mi-professiona1 team in the
West.
1t was the first time that the Keno
sha team had played on an American
League diamond, and they celebrated
the event by putting up an errorless
game. Schmitt, who pitched for Ke-
nosha, held the Indians down to two
hits, and only four times during the
game did redskins head appear on
the bases. Once, in the third, the
Indians had a man on second and
third, but Schmitt held right to his
knitting, and neither of them scored.
as a clean record of strike-outs retired
the side.
! Rainy Daye, who is out looking for
| laurels as a pitcher, started well
enough and struck out FIVE of the
first seven batters to face him, but
this was the end of his rule, for then
the Kenosha batters found out the
| twist in his snake curve, and when
the anne was over they had managed
to chalk up twelve hits.
Donohue was the star of the game
He made two base hit which helped
materially in adding a few runs, and
in the seventh inning he electrified
the crowd of rather b1ase rooters by
sending the ball out for home run
with the bases full. Donohue shared
the honors of the afternoon with Her
mann, who did some remarkable
stunts behind the bat and pulled down
high fly after run of over a hun
dred yards.
The game was full of sensational
plays, and the Kenosha boys are said
to have put up the fastest game ever
played by seni-professiona1 team in
Chicago.

Grays Defeat North Chicago.
The Kenosha Grays are evidently
pretty well in line for game with the
Kenosha regulars, for at Central park
on Sunday afternoon the Grays had
little trouble in defeating the North
Chicago team by score of 4 to 2.
The game was not an error1ess one,
but it was good game to watch, and
the two teams kept the ball rolling
most of the time.
Van VIE pitched a good game for
the Kenosha players, and Mel was eff
fective for the visitors. The Kenosha
boys took a good lead in the first six
innings, and the North Chicago team
scored its two runs in the seventh and
eighth.
