THE WEEK IN BASE BALL.
Luther College and High School
Teams Play Several Interesting
Games, l.. c. Winning
Three.

The past week has been a busy
week in base ball games, there being
game nearly every day. Should we
take the space to write up each in
detail there would be little else in
the paper, so that we mention each
but briefly.
On Wednesday afternoon at the
college park the Luther College and
st. Joseph's College of Dubuque
teams played a game in which L. c.
won by the score of 6 to 0. The
visitors were much weaker than any
team ever sent here by st. Joseph s
and they were easily defeated by the
home team.
Thursday afternoon the game be-
tween Luther College and Highland
Park of Des Moines was but repe-
tition of the day before, and L. G.
won by the score of II to 2. The
game was a ragged one throughout
and the score might have been much
larger as the visitors were no match
for the fast home team.
The big game of the season came
Monday afternoon when the old time
l.. c. rivals, st. Olaf College came
down from Mortified, determined to
get even for the to l victory OF
L. c.. on their grounds at Mortified
on the 18th of May. There was a
big crowd out and it was nip and
tuck without score on either side
until the last half of the third inn
ing, when Bill Preus took an awful
swipe at the ball and knocked it halt
way over to the college building
making an easy home run before the
| ball could be fielded in, and then il
rained. 1t poured down for a few
moments and the game had to be
called but the sun soon came out
and at $3.50 the game was resumed
in spite of the fact that the diamond
was very muddy and slippery. After
this it was easy work for the home
team and they ran their scores VI
to 6. The visitors played well anC
several times came near getting il
scores, but did not accomplish il
until the last inning, when the L. C
boys took pity on them and gave
them one score, the game ending
to l. At night the second victory
over st. Olaf this year was celebrated
by the college force coming dowr
town, headed by the band, and max
ing things lively on the streets fol
an hour or so.
The high school team has alsC
played two games during the pas
week, one at Waukon, when our boy.
Won by the score of 6 to and one
here Saturday with Fayette, wher
the visitors won, score to 1 For
several innings it was a close game
with the home team ahead, but the
visitors took squirt in the sixth
inning and kept our boys from scor
ing, finishing as above stated.
Saturday afternoon a return game
will be played here with the Wauko1
high school.
The DEBORAH boys team went Il
Calmar on Sunday and played a game
with the team at that place, defeat
ing them by the score of II to /.

Contest FizZles Out.

Calmar Courier-Hon. Gilbert n.
Haugen will not be unseated from
Congress as some thought he would.
1t was most unwise move in the
first place and We were surprised
that man of Mr.. Murphy's calibre
should permit such a contest to be
started and carried on. The people
do not approve of such methods by
any party. The committee on inves-
tigation, composed mostly of demo-
Gratis, concluded to drop the matter
as there was no evidence of fraud
or irregularity to warrant a recount
of ballots, so the case was dismiss

sangerferbund at Ossian.

The concert at Ossian last night by
the Winneshiek County Norwegian
Sangerferbund was success in every
way. A special train went over from
DEBORAH on the Rock Island, carrying
about seventy-five fro~ here and a
goodly number from Nordness. The
opera house at Ossian was well filled,
and it goes without saying that the
organization gave a splendid concert,
which was greatly enjoyed by the
people of that part of the county.
