WATERFOWL ELKS
There Was a Fair Attendance at
thu Game and the ROoterS We're
in Evidence From the Initial of
the Game to the End-The Home
Nine We're the ViCtOrS.

For two hours and five minutes the
antlered tribe of Elks from Fond du
Lac and the denizens of the local for
est engaged in fierce combat at Wash
ingtOn Park yesterday afternoon and
| it was not until the first half of the
ninth was fought that victory perched
on the horns of the local Elks to the
tune of 9 to s. Four hundred rooters
and a full equipment of cOachers kept
the players busy watching their OPP
pOrtunitieS which in some of the
| stages were many but badly grasped
at times. The head OF the herd for
the enemy did not fire his ammunition
as correctly as did the chief of the
! local herd, who, while showing the eff
! fects of the combat at times, put
many an antlered head to rest before
his struggle fairly started They were
all game, however, and kept at the
work, urged On by the crowd of non
com batants.
Fond du Lac started the fracas by
| securing four runs in the first. One
| batter after he got fairly started
reached home plate in safety owing
| to poor throwing and another man
scored on a safe hit after he had
stolen third. They made two scores
! in the fourth, the first man up hitting
safely, the next man doing the same
and the next man up hit the ball hard
enough to score two more runs and in
the fifth one score was made. That is
all the runs the visitors got until the
ninth when they seemed to find Broen-
nimann and every man up hit the
sphere out into the field. The first
man walked, and the next man hit,
putting the runner on third; the next
batter famed, but the next one up
| hit it hard enough to score two runs
and the next batter hit safely, scoring
another, thus making the score and
a lively put out at home plate saved
a tie game.
WatertaWn failed to score until the
third inning when they rolled up four.

third; Uehling followed with another
and Broennimann died on a fly; Nc
