-Deerfield still remains on the map
as little village over in Dane county.
| Many people supposed that the village
| had ball team, but we are here to
| tell them that such is not the case.

dressed in uniforms, from that place
came down here last Sunday represent
ing themselves to be base ball team.
Besides their good looks, they were
well behaved and apparently seemed
perfectly at ease in their regulation
clothes. They went over to Athletic
Park in automobiles. And when the
autos rolled over the green sward
through the park and landed them at
home plate, everybody said sure, a ball.
team is in town. But they were mis-
taken. Those boys were not eligible to-
play the second nine of crossroads
town, and still they drove sixteen miles
to play our Giants. Nerve! Call it that
or any other old thing which may have
pleasing sound to your hearers When
| at half past two Umpire Conley pleas
antly sang ''play ball., about five hun
dred spectators held their breath, ex-
pecting to see Deerfeld scores come in
by the dozen. Mistaken again! In
eight innings the Giants brought in
thirty-six scores. They couldn't avoid
it. Deerfield made six, four being
handed them as present for their
good nature. Details of the game are
unnecessary 1t was game of horse
play on the part of the Giants.
