The Kenosha base ball team dropped
another game on Sunday afternoon
when the Chicago Athletics defeated
the locals by score Of to 0. 1t
was the first shut out Of the season and
it must be said that Kisten who of
fciated as umpire at the game con-
tributed not a little to the success of
the visiting team. His umpiring was
one Of the real exciting features of
the game and it is pretty certain that
the time has arrived for the manage
ment Of the team to get real umpire
for the Kenosha games.
The Athletics scored most Of their
runs on the misplays of the umpire
rather than their own good playing.
Pulse started in to pitch the game,
but was taken out after the visitors
had scored one run in the first inning
and after that Cleary was in the box
for the home team. Cleary held the
visitors to six hits, but the Kenosha
batters could do nothing with Larsen
who was in the box for the visitors.
He allowed but three hits and struck
out thirteen men. He pitched one of
the best games seen in Kenosha this
season and was, right on the job every
time that the locals had any chance.

3D. Boys With Big Margin
Meet Great Success

The sturdy band of boy and girl
athletes from st. James won its second
victory in as many successive years at
the great school meet held at Breen
Park on Saturday afternoon and with
five thousand children cheering, the ST..
James team of boys and girls nosed out
the other schools and finished with a
high score of 6O715 points. Durkee
was poor second with AIS, and Co.
lumbus entered in the meet for the
first time this year carried off third
honors with a score of 385 Sc. Balm.
Weiskopf, ST.. George and Central
finished in the order named.
st. James carried off the banner by
superior all round work. The boys
of the parochial school finished good
seconds in both classes and the girls
finishing first in their part of the pro
gram contributed points enough to
make their school the winner of the
meet
1t was great meet from every
standpoint. Many of the records
made last year were lowered and the
attendance set record that it will be
hard to surpass. Fully five thousand
men, women and children, were present
at the meet and the parents and teach
ers took almost as much interest in
the outcome as the boys and girls them
selves. The meet went off like clock
work every event on the program tax
ing place and the last event was finish
ed before the rain fell at six o'oclck.
Peterson of the Columbus school
came up as the premier athlete among
the boys, winning the Fogwell medal
