GRAND RAPIDS
10. NEkOOSA |

The game went just far enough to
make it count. Grand Rapids had
/ Just finished their half of the sixth
inning when the game was called
The Rapids had added two runs,
single and a two bagger to its side
Of the count in the sixth, but these
do not count, so the score reverted
to the close of the fifth with the
Rapids 10 to Nekoosa's little lonely
one.
Our prediction came true. The team
from the tag end of the trolly line
was not in it.
Tally and GIcCaully did the heavy
stick work for the Rapids. Tally got
two bagger, a single and a walk
out of four times up. McCaully got
a home run, single and walk in
four times up. Reed slammed out
three Dagger in the first.
Four runs were made in the first,
Tally get a hit, stole second, went
TO third on Farmers sacrifice and
came home when McCauly wingled,
Nelson walked, putting McCauly on
second, Brennan got to first on er
rors and then Reed slammed out his
triple which scored, McCaully, Mel
son and Brennan Three hits, a sac
rifice hit, a stolen base and a walk
doing the business. In the second
four more We're chalked up to the
credit Of the Rapids. Carroll struck
out, Tally got a walk, stole second
and came in on Farmers single, Mig
got on thru Crowns error, McCaully
got to first and stole second, then
Nelson's single, scoring Fahrner and
McCauIIy. Brennan got on through
errors and Reed hit for three bases
scoring Nelson and Brennan, The rain
clouds were gathering and Manager
Abel gave orders to rush the game
through so as to get five innings
played, so the boys wenti and out
in one, two, three order in the third,
and tried the same tactics in the
fourth but could not help scoring,
NigbOr hitting for a base and Nc
CauIIy's home run making two more
counters for the Rapids in that ses-
sion In the fifth the Rapids men
went out quickly.
On the NekOosa side OF the skir
mish, it was one two three almost
all the way, they did not have to
hurry to get out, it wasn't necessary.
The Rapids players attended to that
for them. Only seventeen men CAM
to bat in five innings Draw your
own conclusions Nakoosa scored us
lonely little run in the fourth. G.
Crowns, the first man up. hit for
two bases. Arnold famed, Manskie
got hit, scoring Crowns. Manskie
was put out, Fahrner to McCaully
and Clarine famed. NekoOsagot
one man around, two men as far as
second and two as far as first. Now.
all you kickers, put this in your
little hat. In five innings only two
more than the three necessary men
came to bat. Do you get me, Steve?
That means defensive work. On Of
fensive work, remember that on July
27, Henry pitched against the Rapids
and he struck out 10 men and the
L, !
Rapids won by a 1 to 0 score. This
game went only five innings and
the Rapids got 10 runs and 8 hits off
this same Henry. Now We are ready
for the foreigners from Stevens
Point. Same prediction.

relating to the postponement Of the
case, and unless that is done the cor
Yesponde1ce will not be made public.
When the committee resumed It
was decided that portions of the cor
respondence relating to the postpone
ment Of the cases probably would be
presented to the house qext Wednes-
day, with a report which may recon-
mend that the Kahn resolutions be
laid on the table, since the object Of
their introduction has been accom-
plished.
The committee will make none Of
