BASE BALL NOTES.

The team has been going at a pretty
good clip the past week and the
players are showing themselves up to
much better advantage than of which
a good many fans thought them Cap
able. A big improvement in the
locals fielding has appeared and this
is due to the change made a short
time ago, when Cayanaugh was
secured to take, charge of the third
base position, while Bower, who has
been regular on the sack for over a
year, was shifted to second where his
work at present looks to be better
than it was at third. Wais, our all
round man. is again in his role as util-
ity player and we feel very comfort
able to have such cinch hitter as
we'll as good fielder. The outfield is
in fine shape also, with the Chief inn
proving in batting daily and Malloy
as usual doing his share. Gresel has
made himself popular by his many
home runs and he has been showing
the sphere into the far corners of the
lot all week. The infield as we have
said is in splendid condition and all
are going at great clip. Nagel is
steadily outgrowing his nervousness.
Last Tuesday the team gave Apple
ton an awful drubbing, the game end
ing with the score, Wausau II, APP
pleton 2. Barker went the full route
for the locals and pitched good
game, allowing only four hits and
walking five. On Wednesday Van
Patter defeated the Wausau sluggers
9 to 4. Carroll started the game for
the locals.
Thursday the Green Bay aggrega-
tion arrived here for three games and
were defeated the first game, but woe
to us, for they came back on Friday
Misunderstanding double defeat.
Saturday the Oshkosh leaders were
taken into camp and were given a
drubbing after nine innings of terrif-
fically hard work. Baillies started
against his former team mates but
Malloy put Carroll in about the sixth
inning and the game was won in the
ninth, with two on bases, Bower hit
to the right field fence. The score
was Wausau 6; Oshkosh 5. Sunday
defeat was administered the game
ending with the score Wausau 3:
Oshkosh 9. Malone and JUL pitched
for the locals.
In the final game of the series the
locals had a lot of hard luck Malone
was in fine form and allowed but one
hit until away long in the game, then
cfter run had been scored off of his
delivery Malloy put in Carroll who
held the visitors in fine form until
the ninth when a home run with one
man on bases won foI the league
leaders. The locals made splendid
effort to tie the score in the last half
but were unable to do so Tor Cantwell
who struck out IA Wausau Gstters at
Oshkosh was invincible. Hoffman the
much touted Oshkosh star started
the game but was found in the
seventh inning for two runs, one a
home run by Williams.
McGloom who has been the jumps
during the past several series has
proven himself very unsatisfactory TO
the fans as well as the players. His
Judgment on balls and strikes has
been exceedingly poor and has brought
much criticism on the part of local
fans. Last Saturday the jumps was
threatened with violence several times
and after the game he vas assaulted
by fan. On Sunday, pitcher Malone
entered into bout with him over
his unfair decisions and was given
fine. 1t is not fair TO the fans that
an umpire such as this should be sent
here to stir our peaceful friends up.
Umpire McGloom has announced
the following fines Malone, S25;
Battles, $40; Cavanaugh, IS; Malloy,
IS; Snow, 50; Carroll, So.
Following are the standing of the
teams nm tOdate
