The Wausau base ball team played
games in Fond du Lac last Saturday
and Sunday, and from the showing
made, our people are very well pleased.
Wausau, though outhitting the other
fellows on Saturday, lost the game by
the score of 80. On Sunday the story
was different. Wausau won by
score of 2-1, though it should have
been a shut out. Johnson thought
there were three down when there
were only two and walked away from
the plate, allowing runner to score
In the first game Dolan secured three
hits in four times up and in the two
games Wausau got ten hits to the
other fellows eight. The Fond du
Lac Reporter says: "Wausau has an
excellent team
