Our esteemed Regulars and the
herce Shutdown artists from Ar
Dor Vitae mixed up the clay Sun
day on the local diamond. It
wasn't a pulse-ripper at any
stage, but was 2 producer Of err
rors by the hat-full It was an
of day for Hirzel's infants but.
they finally lowered Arbor vi
taos flag and hoisted the peace
emblem at the end. The hnale
showed ii nice juicy marks for
the Regulars and 7 squeegees for
Shutdown. From the tap of The
start gong, White of the Regu-
lars numbered his hurting stem,
and, at the close of the matinee
he had eased the enemy down
with but FIVE hits. Gehrke, the
sphere pusher for Arbor Vitae
had given ! 3 hits to US accord
ing TO the score man. ct was
just like game of ping-pong
with few extra dourishes adj
ded. Even the fans felt the draw
ing influence of a poorly con
strueted fatboat whose keel was
misplaced by accident. Aybor
Vitae was mixed up In too fast
company, even at the poor show
ing made by the Regulars at this
game. They evidently furnished
the ammHnition that scared the
hopes of the budding bunch from
the mill town across the county
and caused them to wither and
melt away like unto the hay crop
of the present season. Gehrke,
the pitcher for Arbor Vitae, was
there with the gush, but His
Jumps couldn't see it that way
and asked a continuance of good
behavior the remainder of the
game. Outside of an inclination
to kill one inmate from the house
of Morgan by hitting him with
the ball on divers occasions and
causing his neither end to come
in violent contact with the dust
accumulated at the home plate,
Gehrke's con 1uct was pretty
good and he was one not to be
sent up in the air by the fans re-
marks. In the first inning Ar
Dor Vitae goose-egged and Eagle
River slammed out FIVE runs In
the second the windshield and
the Shutdown boys were presen-
ted one by q hit through first
and right field, being muffed in
the attempt to connect with in
field stoppage. A goose egg in
the third and one score each IN
the fourth, fifth and sixth timber
ed up Arbor Vitae until the Reg
ulars swatted the round article
so often that their gimp disap-
peared in o1e-two-three fashion.
At the end of the eighth the
home team had fourteen chalked
up against four for Arbor Vitae.
In the ninth Gehrke passed the
candy to his players and they
liyened up. gaining three more
for their run bag-two being
made on safe ground and one on
error. Eagle River is credited
with eight earned runs and Ar
Dor Vitae two. This game to be
played as it should, ought to be
made about Is to 0 in favor of
Eagle River, The home team
weren't in form at any time.
Wild throws, NUTS and several
what-nots are responsible for the
scoring of Arbor Vitae. The
game should have been a shut
out Arbor Vitae are all to the
candy so far as we know, altho
it is whispered that Monico and
Tomahawk and Eagle River do
not like to play on their home
grounds on account of the jumps
they have to handle their games.
This Of course we know nothing
about as the BOYS here Sunday
were gentlemen. If the reports
are true about bum umpires, The
Arbor Vitae team should give
them the can and get into the
game clean on their home
grounds.
