BASE BALL NOTES.

Lee, a south paw of the local staff
was released several days ago, he be
ing unable to keep up with the pace
set by the Observation-Disclosures league
Wais has been doing splendid work
at second the past week, and if this
continues it appears that even the
addition OF another man to the team
could not improve the second base
problem. He was called to his home
last week and since that time his
position has been played by Gresel.
Last Tuesday afternoon JUL, the
youngest of the team, pitched a game
and although he was wilder than he
has ever been in any Of the contests
in which he participated, he held the
Madison boys well until the eighth
when Carroll was substituted to finish
the game. 1t ended with the score,
Wausau I and Madison 5.
On Wednesday the game was the
most listless played on local grounds
this season. The Wausau boys get
ting six in their run in the second
inning and they could have easily
gotten more, but as it was raining it
was thought better to hurry the con-
test along and so the boys ran bases
at will, compelling theiriopponents to
tag them out at times The game
Continued through the ninth inning,
although many of the fans left in
the first part Of the game, being sure
that the weather would not permit
further playing, but Umpire McFar-
land did not stop. and 50 the score
was finally Wausau 10 and Madison
4. This game took another record
for the season, two consecutive wins
being marked down for Wausau.
Manager Fox of Racine brought
his Bellies here Thursday for a series
of three games and was defeated in
the two games that were played.
Mique Malloy has been out of the
game for a few days, partly on account
of injuries sustained to his fingers.
Bewer has also been out of the game
one day, Gresel, playing the third
base position during his absence
Boyle, the heavy weight pitcher Of
the team, has been in right field late
ly and has made good showing both
in fielding and in batting. Many Of
his hits have pleased the local fans
greatly. Chief Williams has regained
his batting eye and is polling the ball
far out in the field for good singles.
He is coming around to the form in
which he was last season while he
guarded left field for the papermakers
of Appleton.
Thursday and Friday proved very
bad days for base ball, no games be-
ing played on either occasion The
fans all agree that if it had been
possible to have played those two
games they both would have boosted
our per centage considerably.
On Saturday we saw our old friend
Billy Fox with his Racine wonders
and beat them we did, both Saturday
and Sunday. The first day Carroll
was on the mound and after a hard
fight with the aid of the eight strike
outs recorded for Carroll, we won but
only by one score, Wausau 3; Racine, 2.
Sunday the game was one of excep-
tional interest. JUL, who pitched
was great and should have scored a
shutout but ended, Wausau I; Racine
6. The absence of Wais from the
infeld has greatly Inconvenience the
team and this was a Big factor on
Sunday. The game was won in the
ninth when Williams hit two Dagger
with on bases and was followed by
Gresels third home run of the season
The boys have shown themselves up
fine the last week, winning every
game played during the past seven
days. Their work has bettered mater
tally both in fielding and in batting
and the team from now on will rise
sure ly in the percentage colum.
Yesterday was a rest day and Ell
made the best of it. Today the boys
are at Green Bay. They will return
to this city next Monday for a series
of II games then going TO the south
ern cities for a time
