gregations this Season.
By Post Nubila Phoebsts.

Yes! The River Falls wis. ball
team came, saw, but did not con-
quer. Far from it. But they put
up a game fight against the most
perfect team work it has been our
privilege to see our boys put up this
season; in fact, we had the game all
our own way from the start, and
would have shut them out if Bergie
hadn't felt sorry for them and
muffed an easy fly in the eighth, the
said fly allowing them TO tally.
Our team was somewhat shaken
up, but the management showed
their ability in placing the available
material at hand. Red did duty in
the box and covered himself with
considerable glory. issuing one pass,
striking out 13. and allowing only
five hits in nine innings, and he
finished as strong as he began. Carlt
was back at first and covered the
sack in old time form as we'll as
showing up fair at the plate. Laff
held down the second bag and was
on the job all the time. He would
be fine as permanent fixture there.
Hans replaced Harry at short and
did fair work. Della covered third
base for the first five innings. but
it was his off day, and he was re-
placed by Lovey who showed to
good advantage, both in his fielding
and as-a a run Sa4.e-was baok
in right field aud cared for all that
came his way, the same can be said
of Fanny at center, and Bergie al
left. with the one exception already
noted in the latter case. Wag be-
hind the bat, was 0. X. (he sure
has great wing, cool head and
good judgemnt.)
The visitors were for the most
part strangers; in fact, the only
familiar faces were those of Boo, at
short, and Anderson at second.
Their pitcher was the weak end of
the lineup, as he allowed our boys
to connect for seventeen safe ones,
aud passed one; altho he did manage
to strike out eleven. Their hitters
were absent, if they have any; but
even at that it would have taken a
born hitter to have gotten next to
Reds delivery.
Of one thing we are certain, how !.
ever, and that is, that we haye never
crossed bats with a more gentle
manly and game bunch of pennant
chasers than the River Falls ball
team, and we trust that we will
again have the pleasure of their
company on the local diamond at
some future date. if not this season,
why next anyhow.
Keck handled the Indicator and
was in rather better form than the
previous week; but he seems to have
it in for the home team. Perhaps
this is all for the best, for it leaves
no room for criticism on the part of
the visitors at not getting fair play
In the first, WATSON flied to Laff.
Semen singled to left, and stole
second. Deikman famed. Nelson
flied to Fanny hit 20 runs.
For the M. S. p, Hans popped
to Anderson. Carlt famed. Laff
singled to short, but was caught
stealing second. Il hit 20 runs.
In the second. Boo aud Fortune
famed, while Dreshler grounded
out to second. The home team had
about the same luck, Fanny singled
to short, went to second on an over
throw and stole third, but never
had show to come home. Saxo
and Della famed. Bergie grounded
out to second. Il hit 20 runs.
In the third, Everson received a
pass. Anderson popped foul fly |
near first base that Carlt got under
