NOT VERY EXCITING
At BASE BALL GAME
Between Lancaster and Bloom
ington Mines, Thursday.
Only a Couple of Laneaster's Semi
Prof's are Here But They
Showed Up Well.

The Lancaster base ball team won
its first victory Thursday OF this
week when it defeated the Bloom
ington team by a score of to 8 at
the fair ground in this city. AS
but two of the regular team have
reported for duty it was necessary
to fill out the remainder of the posi-
tions with high school and local
men. This, however, made the
game more interesting than it
would have been had the entire
Lancaster bunch been here, as the
Bloomington team is with two or
three exceptions an amateur or
ganization.
Even after Reese and Pritchett
scored for Bloomington in the first
there was little doubt in the minds
of the fans as to who would win
the game. The locals played cleaner,
swifter ball than their opponents
and their hits were punched better.
Ames pitched his first game in
Lancaster uniform and kept the
hits we'll scattered. Although he
did not extert himself he made a
very favorable impression on the
fans. He worked a slow ball sue
cessfully and had he been called
upon to let himself out would pro
badly have stood the Bloomington
lads on their heads. Greer, for
Bloomington, pitched very good
ball in the face of very wobbly
support.
AS given above Bloomington was
the first to score, registering two
men in the first inning. After that
there was nothing doing until the
thru when the locals hits combined
with the Bloomington errors sent
three runs across. They complet-
ed their count by scoring in the
fourth and two in the sixth. For
the rest of the game the locals drew
blanks. The last run for Blooming
ton was scored in the ninth by
Scheur, their catcher.
The score follows:

OUR SEWER SYSTEM.
Expert Says 1t is Good but Needs a
Little Fixing.

Little fXlnS.
Lancaster's sewer system has been
under careful investigation during
the past two or three weeks and on
Friday and Saturday of last week
Prof. Turneare of the University OF
Wisconsin, in company with Mayor
Bennett and members of the city
council made a thorough examina-
ton of the aseptic tanks, filter beds,
etc. The sewers are being COM
PEELED to carry a much greater
volume of water from the court
square and streets IN the spring and
following a hard rain than was
originally planned for, so there has
been considerable trouble from
overflow, onto the flats OF the old
Nathan farm, but the capacity OF
the sewers is all right and the
trouble can be remedied at a moder-
ate cost. The filter beds of sand,
which require cleaning every year,
will be put IN good shape within
the next few days, and flood gates
put in to take care of the flooding
of the mains. 1t is expected that
Prof. Turneare, or man furnished
by him, will be here Monday to
oversee the job.
