BASE BALL NOTES.

The base ball season for professional
ball in this city was ended last
Saturday afternoon when the Green
Bay rushers, with Lynch in the lead,
took the game by the close score of
iour to three. Carroll for the locals
pitched elegant ball with the excep-
ton OF one winning when the visitors
suddenly came from the rear, scoring
three runs, thus having a lead of two
runs over Landgraf's men. But the
locals came back in the seventh with
one run; but just at the time the men
were hitting; the umpire, who didn't
give very good satisfaction, called the
game to allow the players, also him
sell, to catch an early train for their
next stop, Green Bay going to Apple
ton, while the Lumberiacks are going
to help the Green Bay club by taking
three games from Oshkosh if it is a
possible thing.
The Observation-Disclosures league rec
ords were issued last week by Presi-
dent Weeks and in them we find
the Wausau boys playing fifth in
batting and seventh in fielding, a
little drop from last time Baillies
leads the Lumberjack pitchers with a
percentage, having beer used in "A
games.
Frank LANCE, the Lumberjack
pitcher of five years ago, pitched
five hit game last Saturday for the
Kansas City club against the champ
ionship Milwaukeeans IL the Ameri-
can Association, winning his own
game witha home run and scoring two
runs.
Well, the game is over for Wausau
this year A better attendance will
be needed, a few thousand; some good
players in excellent trim and the
nineteen fourteen chances glimmer
before us.
Felsch, the happy-go- lucky chap,
secured from Fond du Lac by the
Milwaukee American Association club
seems to be making good in the out
field. He was a man feared a good
deal when in the Wisconsin, illinois
league because he murdered the
sphere nearly every time it came his
way.
The baseball team after arriving at
Oshkosh and having good nights
rest were simply swamped Sunday by
the Indians. We feel positively
shamed to give the result but here it
is with regrets that there are not
some more "Wais's," who made the
only hit the Lumberjacks were able to
make, on the team. We always have
known that the little fellow, Wais, is
able to play wherever he is put; but,
although we have also known he could
hit, it seems that some of the pro-
fessional tielders employed by Land
graf ought at least to hit safely every
other game. The score remained at
the end of the game Oshkosh, 13;
Wausau, 0. Worse than the game
with Oshkosh a week or more ago
when Wausau came out with the tail
end also the score being IL to and
at that ON the home grounds.
Well we wont say another word now
until next year. Landgraf will have
a team of his own from the start and
Judging from the organization he Sc
cured for the Milwaukee officials he
ought, with his own choice, to pick up
a classy bunch of players.
Lefty Watson the former Oshkosh
pitcher and member of the Milwau-
kee brewer squad until short time
ago, when he was turned over to the
Fond du Lac club; was sold the other
day to the Chicago cubs and has al
ready left to Join them. He has not
been pitching up to his record made
last year before he was transferred to
the Brewers.
Following is the standings of the
league clubs:
