Palisade B. B. Club
Beats Highwood
In Snappy Game

The Palisadians earned their right
and title to being called good base
ball club on Saturday last by defeat
ing the Highwoods for the third
straight this season, and making it
fifteen wins to two lost for the sum-
mer. While Greer was not at his best,
and probably should not have pitched,
having been sick all week, he mosied
out to the field just before the game
and almost played his head off to win
and succeeded. 1t wasn't his fault
the score did not end 5 to 0. Rucken-
brod was off his feed badly, and made
three costly blunders that cost all
four runs scored against Palisade.
And while Greer hit two men and
gave six passes to first, he still
pitched good ball in pinches.
Palisade outplayed Highwood, as
an analysis of the box score shows.
They got nine stolen bases, never
missed fly, and had no wild
throws. Outside of Greer's wild
ness and "Ruckie's" cog-slipping, the
game was not in any sense poor ball
Highwood brought along good
pitcher who had a puzzling SIDE
arm delivery, a wide outcurve and
great speed to his fast one. He
struck out ten in seven innings. He
also missed high intield fly by
Cristoff that proved costly. All the
visitors runs of the game were un-
earned, but Palisade played by far
the better ball, though at that High
wood is team not to be trified with
