The hleachers have been heightened
out about fifty feet, giving a much
greater seating capacity.
Someone, presumably boys, on
Wednesday evening. after the game,
broke lot of pop bottles found under
the grand stand and scattered the
broken glass over the grounds and on
the diamond. They also pulled num-
Der of boards off the fence. The man.
agement viii, prosecute the guilty
parties if evidence can be obtained
whereby their names can be ascer-
tanned.
A gate for automobiles mas been
erected east of the grand stand. Here
after 10 more "chug wagons will be
allowed to enter the carriage gate.
Allowing but two hits in eighteen
innings is pretty good record and be-
longs to Dunbar whom Wausau secured
from Fond du Lac early in the spring.
At Lacrosse, in a pitchers battle with
Ballies, Tracy got two hits off him The
only ones made by either side in the
game. On Thursday he shut out Rock
ford without hit. If he keeps up that
gait he will become known as the hit
less wonder
The season opened on the home
grounds Wednesday before record
breaking crowd there being nearly 1000
paid admissions. True to its record
the past three seasons the Wausau team
dropped the first game, the Rockford
team winning 80 The two succeeding
games were pocketed. Then came the
Freeporters on Saturday and Wausau
added another scalp to its belt. Sun
days game-ditto. Sundays game was
played before crowd of over 1900
people, and was as pretty a game to
witness as was ever played on the home
grounds. Both pitchers, Lang and
Rouse, being effective, the latter having
shade the best of it allowing but one
hit. No scores were made until the
eight inning when Wausau r1u in a
score on a passed ball aud won the
game.
Potter was loaned to Merrill again
on Sunday to play against Grand
Rapids and he pitched star game
Fifteen innings were played to tie-1-
land he allowed but three hits The
Merrill fans are wild over his work
Last Saturday was bad day for the
Continental store, also for a Third
street cigar store. The Continental, on
a large score board in the baseball
park. has a standing offer for Stetson
hat to every home player making a
three base hit Three were made that
afternoon. The cigar firms making a
similar offer, lost three boxes of cigars.
There was another record breaking
week day attendance at the base ball
park yesterday. Madison, which has
us tied for second place appears today
for series of three games, and ought
to draw WELL Lacrosse follows, play
ing two games Decoration day, and
Ferguson promises to take three games
from that bunch or break his sus-
penders.
Miller, who holds last years league
record for games won, will return to
Wausau in few days and be on the
team. Wausau will then have six
pitchers and some must be released be-
fore June ist. Who they will be cannot
be stated at this time. Wausau is ex-
ceptionally strong this year in the
pitching department.
The team is playing an exceptionally
strong game at present and its team
work is like the evolutions of clock.
The attendance is the best ever.
La Crosse Tribune: "Hello! What
do you know today?" was asked of the
lawyer
Say, whose going to pitch for La
Crosse this afternoons Do you know,
every time get ready to go to game
some fool comes in and takes Up my
time. But I'm going this afternoon if /
lose all my practice"
yep, chats the way it goes, but say
what have you-?'
'They all talk about LANCE for
Wausau, but I've got bunch that he
amt in the runnin' with Baillies."
Yah. Baillies seems to have them all
on the hip, but what-G''
Just think of it-no hits and no
runs. And to think that had to sit
cooped up here and try and hgure out
how could get 81 900 for client who
fell on sidewalk and broke his arm.
But I'm going this afternoon. l think
that every fellow ought to patronize
the team"
Haven't you heard any"
Say, that catcher for Wausau-that
big fellows sure hitter. Why they
tell me Saturday he got two two-bag-
gers in twice up. Say that's what this
team needs. tell you that La Crosse
is going 10 get the pennant this year
and nothing can stop il"
"But haven't you heard any newss"
mildly persisted the reporter.
News. well, Great Scott Amt that
news. Why don't you write up the
ball gamer
And the reporter went his weary way.
