BASEBALL NOTES.

Inc great game or DaSeDali was set
a rolling in our city last Wednesday
afternoon when Moll's athletics from
Milwaukee were given their first de-
feat at Yawkey Park by score of 4
to 2. The old reliable pitcher, Bail
les, was on the mound for the locals
and the Mollycoddles weren't gwen
chance up to the seventh inning to
soak the ball for much, but this could
not continue and although the game
should have resulted in shutout for
Milwaukee they crossed the pan twice.
Things looked dubious for the Lum-
berjacks in the eighth and ninth in
nings but Battles held the sluggers safe.
The team looked mighty good to all
the fans and it sure looks as if there
is fine chance for the locals in re-
gard to the pennant. We are obliged
to note the strength of the Milwaukee
team and think that the management
of the same deserves credit for gather
ing such classy lot of players in such
a short time. The series with the
Mollys was continued Thursday and
although the attendance could not
equal the 5000 of the first day the
game was of exceptional interest, the
game ending with the score, Milwau-
kee /, Wausau O. Carroll, the pitcher
secured from CINCINNATI, was at his
best in this game and Wachel also
was alright. The honors here were
about equally divided. Milwaukee
closed the series with the locals by
second victory, the score being Mil
waukee I, Wausau 4. Malloy used
Lee, southpaw, in the first and
second innings but his delivery was
good for five of the Molls' seven runs.
After the disastrous second inning
Jewel, light handler, and the young
est of the bunch, was given a
chance and he held the Milwaukee
men without much trouble, but the
Wausau batters couldn't connect
enough with the sphere.
Following the three games with
Milwaukee the Rockford bunch with
Marshall at their head arrived here
Saturday for stay of three days, leav-
ing yesterday for their next stop.
The first game with the new corners
was rather farce, the final score
being Wausau, 0; Rockford, IL. The
pitchers sent in during the first and
second innings, Barker and Wisler,
were hit at will, and Malloy then put
in left handler by the name of
Malone, who pitched fine game dur
ing the last innings. Sunday the
game was slugging match in which
WauSau came out with the lead, the
score being Wausau 10 and Rockford
s, with Baillies on the mound. This
is Baillies third game this season, he
having won two of the three games
taken so far.
In the infield Wais at second has
been playing fine game, making few
breaks and hitting fairly good. Nagel
at short is rather of a nervous DISPOSE
tion and for this reason many plays
got by him, which should be outs.
1t is probable that new man will
arrive here soon to replace Wais, who
is wanted as sub because of his
ability to play well at almost any
position. The outfield, as it stands,
is made up Of three excellent fielders,
the Indian, Williams, who is good at
both bat and in the field; Gresel, the
young centerfielder, who although he
has not made many brilliant plays,
looks as though in time he Will de-
velop into an excellent player, and
Malloy, our manager, whose merits
on the ball field are already known in
this community. The pitching staff
seems strong, although there are sew
eral weak men who will be released
in short time.
The series with Rockford was
closed yesterday when our boys, after
fifteen innings of hard playing, sur
rendered one of the most interesting
of games with the following score !:
Wausau 4, Rockford 5. Gresel used
his bat to good effect yesterday, driv-
ing in two runs with his homer in the
ninth when it looked as if the game
was lost. On Sunday last Gresel also
drove beautiful homer with three
on bases, practically winning the
game.
Wisler, the pitcher who pitched an
inning tgday, was given his walk
ing ticket after the game and he re-
turned to his home in Toledo, Ohio
