Kenosha defeated Chicago out at
Breen IS park on Sunday afternoon by a
score of four to three, but lit took
twelve innings to do it, and those
twelve innings were filed with thrillers
enough to keep the fans on their toes
every minute Of the game. Blodgett, vhe
who says little, brought in the winning
run in the last half of the twelfth in
ming, and it was the trusty Wallace who
| made the hit which made it possible for
Blodgett to get home. The game should
have gone another inning for there was
a question as to whether or not Blodgett
was entitled to his base as Umpire Ken
nedy, who one of the extras of the Ken
osha team, gave him base on balls
| when it looked mighty like he should
| have been out on strikes. However, this
only evened up things for in the eighth
inning Blackmore, the Chicago player,
who was the other umpire in the game,
had made the visitors a gift in d de-
cision which resulted in the score being
| tied. Kenosha should have had the
game at the end of the ninth, butt the
| raw work of Blackmore sent the game
into the extra innings and the raw work
of Kennedy gave it to Kenosha. Tom
Prindiville of the Chicago team was
| satisfied with the result and admitted
that things were about even in the mat
ter of umpiring. But it was a great
game. A game that made the people
hold their breath. Not one of the stere-
otyped pitchers battles like the usual
extra inning game, but a game where
the ball was kept rolling all the time,
nd game that brought plays that set
! the grandstand shouting and the bleach
ers yelling. Several times after the ex-
ira periods started it looked as if the
game would be won and lost Kenosha
was pulled out of terrible hole in the
eleventh when it looked as if the Chi
cago boys would get couple Of runs.
Hickey saved the game by marvel Gus
trick play. There was one out sand
Hickey gave the signal for a throw to
| second. Goetz was on third and he
started for home, but Hickey, who had
taken the ball short, lined it home in
| time to catch the runner. This left a
man on third, but the next man up
proved an easy out and the game was
saved. In the last half of the eleventh
Kenosha went out to win the game but
they had not reckoned with Klose, the
first baseman Of the Chicago team.
Feiting started the inning with a. hit.
Smith flew out and then Collins got
down to first on rank error by Dale
and Feiting went to second. Roddy

Then Laabs came up and lined
one out over first that looked good for
two Dagger. Klose leaped into the
air and just managed to get his finger
tips about the ball, but he held it and
the great inning finished without Ken
osha scoring, sra :"
Kenosha started the scoring in the
first inning, when with one out Roddy
drew a base on balls and stole second.

lace's hit over third base.
| Klose brought in the first run for the
Chicago team in the second inning when
he put the ball over the left field fence
for the first clean home run Of the sea-
son. In the eighth the Chicago bows
got busy again. Edgerton got his base
on an error by Feiting, but it should be
SAID that the play was pretty close to
a hit. He went to second on another
error by Feiting and round to home on
hit by Hanks Hanks went TO

the thrilling plays in the game, as the

Smith pitched a good game, allowing
but seven hits in the twelve innings

regularly. Goetz suffered by giving
