The proverbia11y tickle goddess Of
fortune was in one of her rare moods
in her attendance upon thetwo games
between Kenosha and Racine which
occurred on Sunday and Labor Day.
In the first game on the local
grounds the Camp Chilly" ball
tossers won s1oven1y played contest
by score of 9 to O, due largely to the
Indifferent work of Opferge1t, whose
retirement as twirler from the home
team has come as a decided relief
both to the players and public
with whom for some time he has been
persona non gratia.
Despite the inspiration of the larg-
est crowd of the season the first
game was devoid of any features
worthy of mention-iu fact the least
said of the initial struggle the better.
The game of primary interest to
Kenoshans was Mondays game, which
was attended by over five hundred
bugs and bugettes from this city who
were well rewarded as it was
characterized by the best playing of
the year. The mob from Racine had
journeyed out to their ball yard laden
with meg aphones so large some of
them had an extra admission on then,
and during the practice INDUCED
in those bright and crispy bon mots
for which the natives of that somno-
lent village have become noted. When
the play started, however, their am
munition seemed to dampened sud-
denly and where once were loud
explosions only an occasional noise
like squib was heard.
The Kenoshas presented a some
what altered lineup from that of the
previous day, having signed Knobs,
the Chicago Marquette pitcher, and
re-engaged the old reliable Loebe1 for
left, Mason of Milwaukee and Roddy
Of the Three Eye league for the out
field.
Manager Breen's selection of these
players proved happy one as each
=
various assortment of curves and
slants dealt out by Knolls was as
difficult for the Racines to solve as
though they represented proposition
nine, book four plain geometry, which
together with the fact that each and
every player on the team was con-
stant1y working his medul1a OBJ
longata to the best advantage soon
caused the denizens from the town
that Horlick made famous to feel like
one would in case the parachute
would fail to open in time.
Opposed to the peerless Knobs a
young gent named Peterson, a
brother of their real bread winner,
essayed to prope1 the spheroid, but
after being badly mussed up for six
innings by the ruthless run getters
from Kenosha he was yauked to the
benck and his chesty brother substi-
tuted. The change worked we'll until
the ninth inning when the home boys
cut the ropes and before the second
Peterson returned to earth three
more noisy runs had filtered across
the pan.
The Kenoshas began transacting
business in the second inning, when
after Mason had expired on high fly,
Mauch bounded into the white glare
by lifting high liner over the left
field fence for home run. This was
but prelude to the Racine brigands
of two and three baggers that fol-
lowed each other with such rapidity
that the light and speedy feeders
were soon slowed down to the legal
| limits of a steam roller.
There was never time during the
entire nine innings when the Racines
came within hailirg distance of the
home plate. Whether they fooled,
hunted or sacrificed Kenosha immedi.
ately became adjacent to the play and
the designs we're circumvented as
adroitly as hen pecked husband or
cross examination. When it became
apparent to even the calloused under
