for decorative purposes out to the
ball grounds last Tuesday after
noon. Col. J. Albert had newly
clad the econstructionists in lily
Iivered suits that morning, and out
on the grounds in the afternoon, be-
fore the game commenced, and
while 8OO:Redwoodites and 200 fol-
lowers of the Vestal gospel were
still gathering, he had a bunch of
charming girls entwining wreaths
to place upon the crowns of the
players. But when the game start
ed andsthe blue beauties of the re-
vivedsRoman temple of safety of the
west commenced their vicious at
tack upon Hannibal Johnson's men
the girls stopped their work-they
just wouldn't make wreaths for a
local base ball cemetery, nor would
they make them for Myron Hinge
ley's henchmen. Col. j. Albert
wept atEthis fearful work OF his new
born babes; the Redw wood ''rooters"
roared ravingly; the Vesta venials
vented vociferously; and last but
not least-that worst of all signals
Of complete rout-the small boy
quitting the park before the game
was out, and slowly, mournfully,
vending his way towards the For
UNI with defeat written or his every
wrinkle-made it's appearance.
With such feeling it was no
wonder that umpire Seba Byram re-
ceiyed few jolts on his past life, or
that Manager Hingeley danced an
old Roman dance, or that Col. J.
Albert was almost tempted to re-
turn to drink, or that Wallie Fran
co.'s, when asked why he was hit so
often insisted that he didn't dare
curve the ball any more for fear
that Manager J. Albert would call
him to account for overworking
Catcher Ward.
Once-twice -thrice-we had
ball team; team that did credit to
the town, and team in which the
town gloried. That was when the
people backed up the team and were
willing to support a club, and &C
tually paid for their sport. That
period seems to have passed away
and the passing seems to have
been but recently. Certain it isn't
here now. All this may seem I'M
kind to our present young repre-
sentatives, but naked truths are oc-
casionally necessary. The boys are
not getting the right kind of fnap-
cial treatment to play good ball.
You may kicksand growl and snort
and roast all that you want to, but
this fact will stand out clearly and
the sooner you meet it squarely the
better for the town and team.
Four innings was about all that
there waste the game of May 3Oth
two innings for either side. In
the second inningof the game Vesta
got six scores and the Redwood
fans got nausea. The Vesta fans
imagined themselves eating OK
tail soup. Tony Kraemer was pre-
sented with first and stole second.
Katzen berger struck out. Larson
hit safe and Klaemer came home,
and then Larson took second on a
passed ball. Welter got first on
Ward S failure to catch the ball on
third strike and then A. Kraemer
pounded out single, sending Lar
son and Welter both across the
home plate. M. Kraemer got first
on an error of third and then on a
long double of Potter both Kramers
scored. Before the side was retired
Potter scored on an error of Shaefer
who was attempting to play ball
with game finger.
10 the third inning Tony Krae-
mer started off with a single and
stole second and third. Larson was
hit by pitched ball. given frStand
then stole second. On single by
Welter both Kraemer and Larson
scored. Welter scored on errors
by Green and Ward, making a total
of nine runs-a suficiency.
Redwood got score in the first
inning, Bradley being presented
with the first bag, stealing second,
getting third on wild throw and
home on wild pitch. In the fifth
