Snappy Ball Playing.

Last Saturday the Mineral Point high
school base ball team defeated Dodge
vile to the tune of 8 to 2. Although
the boys were working under a disad-
vantage by having several new players
in the team, they played one of the
snappiest, cleanest games ever played
on the diamond, Fox, Hanscom, Me-
Murrough and Jacka getting ten hits
between them. Ryan pitched perfect
game from start to finish and had con-
troll to waste in the pinches. Dodge
vile also played a good game, their
shortstop making two very neat plays.
The line up was Fox, catcher, Ryan,
pitcher, Fessenden, danscom, Jacka,
McMurrough, Temby, E. McMurrough,
Mitchell, Julian.
Our boys got ten hits off of Berry
man, who is an old pitcher, while
Dodgeville got but five off Ryan, who
was pitching his first game.

is the excellent report of the boys
