FOURTEEN INNING
GAME YESTERDAY
WHITEWATER NORMALS. l.. WA
TERTOWN, @, THE RESULT.
Northwestern Varsity Put UP d
Stubborn Fight-Neither Side
Able to SCOre-A Pitchers Battle
Game Lasted Two Hours. AS
Minutes.

In baseball contest that has pro-
badly not had it's equal among Wis
consin colleges for many, many years,
the two institutions, Whitewater
Normal and Northwestern University
battled for Ia long innings to de-
eide base ball game which stood 0
to 0 until the last of the 18th, when
the Normals brought in the only score
by base on balls and hit. 1t look
ed at times as if the game would new
er end and again times came when
Northwestern had third base filled and
only one man out, but it was impossi-
BILE to have the ball out of the fielders
reach. 1t was indeed, more or less
pitchers battle, for both Henkel and
Motzkus did splendid work in deliver
ing. Henkle had a slight advantage
over Motzkus in strike outs. Three
double plays were made during the
game, Northwestern making two of
them and Whitewater one. The feat
ures of the game were a sensational
catch by Neighorn in the third, the
batting of McMamora, Kowalke and
Nolan, good base-runnIng by Woyahn,
and also Diehl's playing on third base.
The only thing that made the game
uninteresting at times, were some of
the rank decisions given by the White
water official. Both teams gave their
pitcher fine support. Wendland made
tional plays by running for several
fouls and also catching three men on
second. The game lasted two hours
and forty-five minutes and is the long
est game played at Whitewater.

LAST SUNDAYS GAME

Locals at All -DiSdpp0intmentin
Kind of d Team Sent Here
Jenedu viii Be Here Next Sunday
With d Strong Nine.

The locals defeated Fort Atkinson
easily at Washington Park Sunday by
a score Of to 3 The Fort boys
were no match for our boys and from
the first inning on, the game was in
the hands of the locals. The Water
town boys were very much dispap
pointed in the kind of team tibet
Fort sent up here Sunday. Our boys
were informed by the Fort Atkinson
manager that he had a fast team and
that they'd give the locals a hard
chase, but we failed to see it. With
effort WatertoWn would never
have stopped scoring. When the loo
al manager arranged the game with
the Fort, he was under the impression
that they had one of the fastest teams
in the state, Judging from the way
the manager there wrote. But "Oh -
what team. Our local battery alone
could have won the game, as Booett
cher had every one of them on the list
and he struck out II men.
Schultz was missed as a catcher.
but LANCE proved a good substitute.
His batting was especially good and
added materially to the success of
the team. The place of Schultz is
nevertheless hard to fill. With Schultz
as the regular catcher and LANCE as
substitute, the team is assured of the
best kind Of material behind the bat.
Next Sunday Juneau will be down
and we hope they will bring strong
t eam Judging from the games Ju-
neau has played this season they must
be strong, as Sunday they defeated
Iron Ridge by the score of to 0.

Track and is Wrecked WGndOrf
Thrown From CdDOOSG and SuS-

The Leader is in receipt Of the
following bit Of rews from Costa Rica
concerning w. II. Wendorf, a former
resident Of his city which will be
read with interest by many Of the
Leader readers:
In a railroad accident on the Costa
Rica railroad which occurred on May
23rd at midnight, w. II. Wendorf,
formerly Of this city, and son Of
William Wendorf. met with serious
accident on a banana train, which his
friends here will regret to learn. His
engine backing up with sixteen box
cars on dark night from Sigainies 20
Guacino Junction, met a horse on the
track shortly after leaving the Paris
molina bridge, the animal apparently
lying between the rails. Before the
train could be stopped, the horse was
struck, wrecking the train and throw
ing Wendorf out of the cabcose and
burying him in the wreckage. On
being discovered, he was eXtricated,
from his perilous position and with
the fagman, who also sustained severe
injuries, they were placed aboard a
special train and taken to Limon
hospital, which was reached at a.
m. in the morning. Mr.. Wendorf
was severely bruised on the head and
will not be able to report for duty for
some time to come.

Twas a False Alarm.

Shortly before 2 o'clock this morn
ing the two companies of the
fire department were called out, an
alarm having been turned in from
box No. II, calling the fire ladies to
the corner of Fifth and Clyman
streets 1t proved to be a false alarm
and was turned in by some unregener-
ated cuss, who thought he was playing
a funny joke. Fortunately it was not
fire, for the fire whistle could not
be sounded and had it been anything
of confiageration the volunteer men
would have been almost as scarce as
the proverbial hens teeth. 1t was a
warning that the fire alarm system
needs immediate attention.

Water Pipe. and Freezing.

Housekeepers us a rule do not under
stand why it is the hot water pipe
is the first to freeze in very cold wealth
er. They think that it ought to be the
other way around-that hot water
ought to withstand the low tempera-
ture longer than cold water will. That
does seem reasonable, but a little in
vestigation shows us that 1t Is not. Hot
water freezes mor quickly than cold
water for several reasons. In the first
place, the boiling Of water expels the
air from 1t, and water will not freeze
until it has parted with Its air. In the
second place, there Is always a slight
agitation OH the surface of hot water,
and this promotes congelation by as
slsting the crystals to change their po-
sltion until they assume that most IA
vorable to qualification. Then the
particles in hot water divide into small
er globules by reason Of the heat, and
less resistance is therefore offered to
the cold than in cold water.
