Kenosha Base Ball Team is De-
feated by Waukegan by a
Score of to 0 Sunday
GRoTH PITCHES GREAT CAME
Allowed But One Hit But Fate Per-
mitted This Hit to Be Converted
Into a Run-Kenosha Playing in
Hard Luck Loses Close Game

The Kenosha base ball team was
shut out by Waukegan Sunday after
noon, the final score of the contest be-
ing too. The game was one of the
most spectacular ever seen in Keno
sha and if ever game was lost on
hard luck that one was.
Groth, who was in the box for Keno
sha, pitched the best game of the
year, allowing but one hit and strik-
ing out eleven men but as luck would
have it this hit was finally converted
into a run and with the one score
Waukegan won the game. Groth had
good support save at critical NOM
,ents.
Pulse, who pitched for Waukegan
was also effective. He allowed but
five hits and struck out six men but
he aided the Kenosha team by giving
two bases on balls. Pulse, however,
kept his hits pretty well scattered
and two hits were made only in one
inning and at that time the wretched
work of the umpire made it impossi-
bic for Kenosha to score.
The Kenosha base ball fans are
real sports in every sense of the word
but right here let it be recorded that
they will not stand for such work as
was palmed off by Stats under the
name of umpiring. Stats either does
not know how to umpire a base ball
game or else he was very favorably
disposed toward Waukegan. He
made three decisions against Keno
sha in succession, every one of which
was questionable and every one of
which cut off a run. He had no con-
ception of balls and strikes but he
managed to divide this pretty evenly,
both Pulse and Groth getting bad
deal.
The game was won in the fourth
inning. Jones came up to bat and
beat out a scratch hit and King got
him another base with sacrifice.
Then Whyte hit out hard one to
Mauch who promptly fumbled it and
when the ball was recovered Jones
had scored. The next man up prompt
1y went out on a fly to Groth. In al
most every inning in the game the
Kenosha players had men on bases
and several times on third but when
hits we're needed they were not forth
coming and the runners were allowed
to die on bases.
In the ninth inning the home team
threatened to make whirlwind finish
of it. With two men out Groth got
base on an error by King and then
Loebel came up with clean hit adj
vancing him to second. Groth man
aged to reach third on a passed ball
and then Laabs knocked liner to
deep left but Stats called it foul and
Laabs was sent back. The best he
could do was to boost one into the air
which was promptly gathered in by
King.
The victory of Waukegan on Sun
day makes the series between the two
teams tie and hot game may be
expected on next Sunday when the
teams meet at Waukegan for the final
game of the series.
There was considerable complaint
on account of the fact that DR.. White
of the White Sox, had been advertised
to pitch for Waukegan and many peo-
pie went to the park for the purpose
of seeing the White Sox pitcher.
There was absolutely no reason for
such deception of the public and if
the managers of the two teams desire
to retain the confidence of the public
they should see to it that in the future
such attractions are not advertised
when they cannot furnish the goods.
