NOTES


~A
Base Ball.
Well, Columbus stock has been
looking up little the past week. 1t be.
ing the first time for quite awhile
when the boys have won more games
than they have lost In seven days
time. As a matter Of fact. in the last
seven games played, Columbus has
won four and lost three-one to Ere
mont at Fremont. one to Superior at
home. and one to Fremont at home.
Last Wednesday, down at Fremont,
the score was nine to eight at the
close. Fremont's pitcher. Watson,
who had been released from Grand
Island. is said to have pitched good
ball up to the eighth inning. when
the DISCOVERIES made four runs,
which made the game worth while.
The game of that day between York
and Seward was called off on account
of rain.
The next day Columbus was at
home. and up against Superior. which
had been leading the league until
Fremont forged ahead of them a day
or two previously. But the players
and the fans were not daunted by
that and Columbus kept the game
right here at home with a score of
nine to eight.
Taking heart from the victory of
Thursday. Columbus repeated the
trick again on Friday, only more so.
piling up total of eighteen hits off
Gibson and Schumerda. and taking a
score Of fifteen to the visitors six.
Superior came through with a dozen
hits off Delair while this was going
ON.
Saturday afternoon, though. the
Superior aggregation went at the
game with all the energy and determ-
nation born Of despair, and when the
smoke had all cleared away. the
score board showed that they had
taken sixteen runs while the home
boys had annexed six. Superior used
TWO pitchers to hold Columbus down
% eleven hits, while Hays, Spade |
md Kissell allowed them sixteen hits,
al told.
BY this time Grand Island had been
busy and had stolen the lead. leaving |
Superior second and Fremont third. i
while Columbus was up in the fifth |
,lace. This gave the boys some en-
and the game that day
in a victory for the Discov-
.rers, six to three, with three errors
N Fremont and Columbus perfect.
Monday was the big day for the
'oys. That was the day that Meixell
made four hits out of four times up.
:. Brown took three hits out Of three
ines up and Corbett took two hits
ut of two times up. with E. Browns
tick work including home run. and
two-bagger. while Weisenberger
ook a two-base hit. and Meixell and
)elair a three-bagger each. Fifteen
'as the total number Of hits garnered
y Columbus, the Pathfinders taking
tx, the score being Columbus ten,
fremont three. That was also an
Their of those occasions when Mister
emmett, Fermont's doughty little
manager. lost his head and found his
emper too big for him to carry
round SO that Jumps Garrett helped
i'm by assessing him a ten-spot and
xclusion.
Yesterday, the case reversed itself
nd Fremont won by hard hitting and
remont's left fielder, Turpin doing
,me mighty fine work out in his part
! the field. The score yesterday was
n to six, both sides getting thirteen
its. All the big hits were made by
men excepting one by Bob I
sr who made a two-bagger, but they
ere SO scattered that they did not
'unt for as much as they reilly
lould. ,
