Sheboygan 4. Manitowoc s.
In one of the most fiercely contested
| games of the season the Kenosha ball
gans their long delayed trimming
| Thursday afternoon on their home
grounds. Over three hundred enthus-
lasts journeyed down TO see Opfergelt
back the chesty Waukegans in cor
ner by his magnificent pitching from
which they seldom emerged, but took
his deceptive curves with the wild
eyed fatuous enthusiasm of Racine
ite picking the wrong card IN monte
game. Despite the cloudy weather,
| (for even the sun hates to shine IN
| Waukegan), over two thousand bugs
fully expecting to witness hopeless
crimp put upon Kenosha's champion
ship aspiration but instead, thanks
to the vapor floats of one Opfergelt
they we're obliged to attend their own
| unwe1cOme obseqnies.
| Opposed to him in the box the enemy
introduced high pressured gent by
the name of Ray Pulse who was ex.
Iceedingly lucky until the eighth in
| ming when the Kenosha boys conclud-
ed the psychological moment had ar
| rived to light the fuse and when the
puted that we had amassed eight large
runs. 1t is difficult to bestow spec
| ia1 praise or hand bunch Of rare ex-
otics to any particular member of the
team as their work against their
| dopey adversaries was all uniformly
good, yet the war club Of Breen was,
outside the battery, the most potent
factor in the run getting, as it was his
slashing two sacker that cut the cable
on the balloon in the joyous eighth
and caused the Waukeganites to feel
as damp and clammy as though they
had been sequestered in brewery
cellar. The first inning was produc-
tive of two unearned runs for Wauke~
gan, due to two errors onsthe part of
| Loeb and Laabs, bat the difference
in the two rs is worthy of problem
IN differential Calculus. This was
the extent of their scoring, however,
as during the remainder of the game
these athletes employed their noodles
to perfection and not another runner
| splashed home to tell the tale. We
now approach the eight inning when
| Kenosha lifted the lid and put the
game in cold storage the story runs
like this, as Charley Zweenic would
say-Hanks lifted pal1id fly to the
pitcher who squeezed it. Breen tore
off a swat to center for two bases.
Graves struck as though he were nail
ing fly on his neck, but collided with
the ball and sent it to right scoring
Breen and was advanced to third by
Custa's grounder to short which took
four sedate bounds and landed on the
felders starboard shin. Feiting sim
gled and should have been squelched,
but was saved by the picture posing
short stops bum chuck to first, scor-
ing Custa. Loeble smashed torrid
one to second and was tagged on the
spine at first but brought in Feiting.
Knipple was hit on his wish bone and
walked. Hanks spanked liner to
left and helped himself down to
second and both came home little
later on SO uirming single to center
by Breen. Graves made good use of
his bread winner by pushing single
to right which several assemb led un-
der, but could not quite meet. Custa
and Feiting walked and the bugs be-
hind the ropes buzzed in despair.
Loeble and Opfergelt galloped to first
on singles and three more runs oozed
home. Knipple was again in the
1imelight with another single and
Waukegan progressed another step
backward, - later on he trotted home
perfunctorily on a solid soak by
Graves to the center fielder, who
speared the ball in his nude claw but
it spilled through his fingers. Custa
punctured tie lambert atmosphere and
ended the tragedy, as with eight runs
he correctly surmised Waukegan' had
been stung enough for one Fourth of
July. The score by innings:
Waukegan ...........2 0 0 o.
Kenosha ............O 0 I'll
Loeb1e Quits Team
After the game Thursday Loeble,
the star left fielder of the Kenosha
team, announced his intention to re-
sign on account of Ill health and will
not be seen in a Kenosha uniform
again. Manager Breen received his
resignation with regret, IS during
Loeble's two years service in left
field he has played brilliant ball. It
is not as YET decided who will be his
successor.
