game this season the married men OF
Oakes took dire vengeance on the cock
sure single men and administered to
them the most severe drubbfng they
have had this year. The game was in
tensely interesting throug hout and was
marked by numerous spectacular plays,
the northwest wind that was sweeping
across the field making the work much
more difficult.
AS on the preceding Sunday the noe
tural floor walkers were very deft in
their handling of the wagon tongues
and kept the single aggregation tum-
bling and scrambling around with the
agility of monkeys doing acrobatic
stunts in country zoo in efforts to dig
out of the earth and air the hot ones
served by the infuriated benedicts.
To the pitching Of DR.. Edwin Maerck-
lein of Ashley is due in large degree
the complete humiliation of the
boys who are just sprouting the
':down. >" The Doctor had dissected
every writhinR, twisting. curve from
the repertoire OF baseball and used 'em
sizzling hot right over the plate, the
result being many strike-outs to his
credit. In the last half of the game he
was relieved, owing to sprained arm,
by Ankeny and Pestka, who served
'em up il, good style.
NOTES ON THE GAME.
1876 grown-ups and Is kids saw the
game.
Jut Bush made a beautiful one hand
ed catch at first.
Ginger no and come to the game next
Sunday. Its the rub"
Herzog, the dependable, was little
off base but did effective work at that.
The ''fussers" say that Taber must
be the worst chen pecked" man in
town, because in umpiring he gave ev-
cry close decision to the single men.
Some of the married mems funeral
like movements at times cannot be
charged to laziness but rather to over
whelmingness of obesity.
Anderson juggled an infield fly that
cost couple of runs. But he was
freely forgiven by the fans, for he is
the ''Old Reliable" of the team.
Doc Ivan Maercklein was as agile
rs a cat after he had performed an op-
Grafton on his strawberry blond uni
form for tightness.
Ernie Robinson uses every part of
his anatomy in making the slide for
bases in such an awkward way that it
is positively graceful. He also gets
everything that comes his way in the
field.
The sporting editor deserves COM
mendation for the correct way he doped
out how the game would go. Ye win
ners, our favorite smoke is a "Chap-
ter"
Oscar Kroman, who was the crack
catcher Of the Harvey team until it dis
banded two weeks ago, got here just
in time to greatly strengthen the sim
gle mems line up. That boys catching
is positively classy.
You can't tell Oakes fans that the
age and size of q Bush makes no diff
erence in his adaptability to taking
hold Of the national game. The big
representative Of the family had the
call on the smaller one Sunday both in
slugging and fielding.
O'Neil was getting to be regarded az
quite promising young ''busher" un-
til the benedicts turned into swatting
demons and put the ball into every
corner Of the lot. Now 'tis said he
goes to his work via the back alleys
and realizes. with deep chagrin that
fame is indeed q tickle damsel.
Pestka gave unique exhibition Of
base running, cutting swath to third
on . one. sack swat. Some Of the fans
say hs came derned near making what
Iis known, In baseball parlance @ I
'sbonehsad play,' when be worked
. forced ran with no one ont and tn
basss full However he made up 70,
