In the game.
While the orientals must be jotted
down with seven errors for the game,
they worked cleyerly, and showed big
league speed in base running. A
swarthy youngster by the name Of En-
she was q marvel at stealing bases.
At the close of the game he was cred
tied with four such feats. One of these
was from third base to the home
plate, under the very noses of Pitcher
Jensen and Catcher Gibson, who were
not quite quick enough to catch the
rapid little center fielder of the WIS.,
itors.

This ended the play, as the orientals
donned their coats and took their med

awaken today with some sore joints
and muscles, but if they show the

evidenced yesterday. the orientals will
have to go some Today's game will
be started promptly at 2:S0, as the Wis,
