as Semi-Profs. Gave US Last Year.
The past week was week of FEAST
ing for the Genison base ball fans.
Starting Wednesday. Denison's team
met all comers for four days. The
first on the scene of battle was the
husky Woodbine team. smarting un-
der the memory of their last meeting
with US. and while they received sat-
isfaction they earned their victory, for
up to the last inning they realized
they were at q ball game. In the
point Of Denison was Pitcher Watts
with Gary at the receiving end. Not
attempting to rob Woodbine of the
rewards of its victory. it is true.
however that Watts outpitched Reed.
while Brunnipg. Woodbine' catcher
had little the edge on our own
Gary. having no passed balls, while
our backstop had but one. The ele-
ment of luck was with our neighbors
and their hits though few were;
punched and opportune. nine men hit
nothing but the air. while Reed had
four of our boys on his strike out list.
Mccormick for Denison was the only
man to pass the plate and that re-
presents the run getting for US. while
Woodbine was able to get four.
On Thursday our old friendly en-
G0,,r hoi -
medicine and we were liberal with
the dose. IA runs to three is the story
of the game Faul did the hurling
for Denison and Catcher Gary was at
home behind the bat. Brace was on
the mound for Dunlap and Mccain
was opposite Gary. Everyone enjoys
a game with Dugan's men from Dun
lap. clean players and hard workers
the game Is always worth the seeing.
With our own home grown battery
we know there is good game on,
and they were working to perfection,
on Thursday, every Denison player
hit the ball and hit it hard. and it
was the reverse of ''what did Dugan
do to US. y what we did to Dugan's
men was great. we outclassed and
outplayed them clear through the
game, the score IA to three plainly
tells.
Mr.. Dugan's men however. will
not down and on Friday they came
back for more. for this game it was
Watts and Gary VS.. Brace and Bal
lard We under rated Dunlap for it
was easy the day before. but evident
ly Pitcher Brace had taken one and
was very stingy, our boys played
good ball at times and at other times
played loose. it was good game all
through however. but the ninth in
ming saw only two chalked up for
Denison. while Dunlap had piled up
four runs.
On Saturday the ball team of Cow
boys and Indians from the Rosebud
came across to give us battle. and in
cidentally ride any bucking bronchos
after the game that might be on
hand. We succeeded in tanning these
plainsmen to the tune of six to three.
Faul and Gary for the home team
were again at work and given gilt
edge support by our men they sue
ceeded in giving the Rosebuds a de-
cisive beating. The battery for the
Rosebuds were Grantz and Burning
ton and Capt. Kelly and our Otto
succeeded in drawing two Dagger
apiece from the plainsman' delivery.
In swinging back to their home. the
Cow boys came back for revenge on
Tuesday. they had changed their
clothes and battery and had Simodues
and Mcdonald to do the big part of
the work. Faul and Gary again re-
presented Denison in the battery line,
and they showed they could repeat.
This game was if possible q bigger
game than the previous one and re-
suited in score OF Denson a and
the Rosebuds 3.
| The games were pretty we'll pat
ronized. but there is no reason why
thereIshould not be a BETTER crowd.
Our boys are putting up a good
article of base ball and they are all.
our home men. Dunlap has a good
home team and so has Woodbine !;
these games are more interesting
than a lot of hired players and the
game they are given to Denison is
equal to the game played by the
hired men last season.
