man played havoc with baseball, al
lowing few clubs to carry out the
schedule. The Wausau team was at
Green Bay when the weatherman
started the elements and there no
games were played. The boys then
| proceeded to Oshkosh to have good
time with the league leaders and they
met with better luck there than at
| Green Bay. If the team had played
the Bays three games, it is a cinch
that two OF the three would have
been ours. The rest, in all probable
| ity, did the team as a whole much
good and left every pitcher on the
role in the best of form. The clubs
| playing at home last week lost heay-
lily, having to pay the visiting mines
$40 for each game not played because
of rain. Luckily the home team was
visiting away at that time.
| There has been some talk lately of
| important trades being made around
the Wis.-Ill., circuit, but up to date
| nothing definite has been reported.
Some have said that Walter Demmer
the little lumberjack outfielder who
is holding out for more salary may
| be traded to some club if a suitable
man can be gotten in exchange.
| When Fox of Racine was here he was
| in trading moo,. and wanted Dem
mer. Malloy couldn't find Racine
man except Cavanough, hard hit
| ting third baseman, whom he wanted
and so after little dickering he has
secured him to play that position for
the Lumberjacks.
All squads of players in the league
have been cut down to Is in accor-
dance with the league laws and there
are still one or two men on our team
who Malloy could release if he picks
any more promising players. The last
two weeks have told on the Milwau-
Kee team, and although they are
playing good ball, the pace they set
at the beginning has not been kept
up by them.
The team is now home for a series
with several of the league clubs in
Guiding Appleton, Green Bay, Oshkosh
and the boys ought to finish this
series in flying colors if their fine
playing is continued Wais has re-
turned from La Crosse, where he was
with his wife who has just been oper-
ated on and will resume his playing
Last Friday the boys played their
first game while on this trip losing to
| Oshkosh by a to score. Carroll
| pitched for the locals and although
| he allowed less hits than the oppos-
| ing pitcher, our batters:could not con-
meet with the sphere the right time.
The second game played on Saturday
must have made the Oshkosh rooters
wish that Baillies, who pitched for
the locals and was formerly an Osh-
koSh pitcher was again member of
their staff, but it could not be so and
the club came home yesterday bring
ing the third defeat for Oshkosh the
score being Wausau, 6; Oshkosh ,.
On Sunday though, we were drubbed
but the score was close WauSau o:
Oshkosh l. The game was a sure
enough pitchers battle between Ma
lone for Wausau and Cantwell for
| Oshkosh. Both pitched splendid ball
and although Malone let the Oshkosh
batters down with hits while tie
Wausau boys clouted out hits, Can't
wells thirteen strikeouts aided great
ly in tile defeat.
The home team was yesterday given
a second reception this year. A fairly
good sized crowd turned out to see
the Lumberjacks trim the Appleton
team easily. the score being Wausau
Is; Appleton, ,. JUL pitched good
game for the locals.

teams up todate
