Players and Came as the Close of
the Lake Shore League Season.

Kenosha defeated Racine in double
header on Sunday afternoon and by the
double defeat of the Belle City players
the Kenosha team had the extreme
pleasure of driving their old time OPP
ponents into the cellar championship
of the Lake Shore League. With the
two victories the Kenosha team is
firmly placed in fifth place.
The defeat of the Racine team was
accomplished with a great deal of joy
to the local fans and all short comings
Of the team during the season have
been forgiven on account of the fact
that the final game ended in a victory.
Both games came easy to Kenosha.
The much Wanted Racine pitchers
proved easy for the Kenosha batters
and they kept the ball on the roll from
the time the first game was called until
the last man was out at the end of the
eighteen innings of play and during the
long session there, never was a time
when Racine showed class enough to
make the Racine team a possible win
