Game Fourth With jackson Township
and One Sunday With Breda
Give West Side Boost.
While spending the fourth at Cot
tage Grove, two of our citizens, John
Malloy and Geo. Lawler, narrowly
escaped being seriously injured. They
happened to be sitting on bench
directly under the toboggan slide when
one OF the swimmers at the top OF
the slide accidentally let go OF his
skid, which fell to the ground below,
striking Mr.. Malloy a glancing blow
on the side of the head and knocking
him down, and then continuing it's
downward course, hitting Mr.. Lawler
on the arm and in the pit of the stoI
ach, the pain rendering him uncOn-
scious for few minutes. At first it
was thought that Mr.. Lawler was seri.
ously injured and medical aid was
sent for, but by the time physician
arrived he had been revived enough
to be able to speak and was taken to
a cottage nearby until he was able to
return home in his car that evening
Mr.. Mailoy, although he was slightly
stunned for few minutes, luckily
escaped with only few ugly bruises
on the side of his head. Mr.. Lawler
was able to be around again the next
day, but it will be week or SO be-
tore he will be able to attend to his
work on the farm. Both gentlemen
feel very thankful for their narrow
escape and both agree that next time
il they ever visit the lake they will
never sit under a tobOggan slide.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Mau were Den
ison business visitors Monday.
The baseball enthusiayts of this
city are feeling very good this week
over the double victory which our
boys have won the last few days, beat
ing Jackson township II to at Cot
tage Grove the fourth and defeating
the Breda team at Breda Sunday by a
score of to g. The boys simply ran
away from the opposing team in the
first game starting right Off the reel
by getting score in the first inning
and adding four more tallies in the
third when II. Glascock smashed out
a home run with the bases full. The
boys never were in any danger Of los
ing the game as they scored nearly
every inning and but for the number
of errors made they would have shut
the opposing side out, as Evers pitcI
ed q not hit game up to the sixth,
when Jackson ran in four scores on
one hit. Manager Starek feels conf
dent that when the boys have had
more experience they will be able to
give an "air tight" exhibition Of base
ball. For stick work they are certain
ly good for such young fellows and
with constant practice they will i'm
prove considerably as the season goes
on. Batteries: West Side, H. Eiffert
and v. Evers; Jackson, M. Brogan and
Maynard. Struck out by Evers, 49,;
by Brogan II. Hits: West Side, 49,;
Jackson, A. The game at Breda with
Breda was more exciting, the Breda
players having the best of our boys
with a 2 to 0 score up to the fifth in
ming, when our fellows got busy and
started to pile up tallies. The feature
of the game was the pitching of H.
Detlefs, who pitched two hit game,
and the game, like that of the day be-
fore, should have been shut out in
favor of West Side but for the errors
The errors were mainly due to the
crowd which kept continually crowd
ing over the base lines and interior
ing with the runners and basemen
The boys are well satisfied with the
outcome of the game, but feel just
little bit sore over the treatment re-
ceived from the crowd, and it does
seem to be pity that in some place
the fans are not sportsmen enough to
take square trimming decently a
players and mishandling the visiting
they should without hooting the
rooters and wanting to beat the stuff
fin" out of the players every time they
make a good play. Batteries: West
Side, II. Eiffert and II. Detlefs; Breda
W. Mannemann and ]. Bruning. Hits
off Detlefs. 2; off Bruning, s. Errors:
West Side, 5; Breda, 5. The boys
look much more like ball players now
that they received new uniforms and
Manager Starek thinks they have just
" celebrated the event by winning
both of these games. The suits arc
very nice looking, being of gra,
striped flannel with green trimmings
Sunday the boys expect to see what
they can do in little faster company
as a game has been scheduled for that
day with Dow City to take place al
Eiffert's ball park just west of town
