itOrS.


day Z to in a poor exhibition Of ball
playing at Washington park. A crowd
of. $50 fans witnessed the game. Two
umpires refereed the game, Jim Buck
ley of the Lake Shore league and Joe
STATE of Jefferson. So far as decisions
were concerned the umpires were SUI
perf1ous, as Waupun questioned the
decisions ensemble several times.
Kohl stole second and third in the
third inning Here play was interrupt
ed and the whole Waupun team came
in from the field to question the de-
cision of the umpire on calling the
man safe at third. Then Hauser
pitched the ball and Spies up at bat
nailed it into the left fielder's hands.
The umpire hadn't called play and
Spies wasn't out. Briefly it started an
other row. After the players were
Gained down everything went along
in great shape until the fifth inning
when Kohl stole home and the UNI
pire called him safe. Jake was so in
censed at letting man steal home
that he got mad at the umpire and
then a big scrap was nipped by the
police and after everything was
quoted down, the team went back on
the field to continue the game. Block
playing second base on the Waupun
team, got huffy because as he said,
pete wasn't in the coaching box on
first" and refused to play until Pete
to avoid delaying the game, moved
back two inches. A Waupun man was
called out at the home plate in the
seventh inning precipitating another
wrangle which lasted several minutes
Outside of these minors incidents the
game wasn't half bad

first, three in the eighth and two in
the ninth, making total of seven
runs. Watertown only scored two
runs, and those in the fifth.

six men and allowed three two-base
hits. In the first two innings twenty
tick fouls were made by Waupun
players, Jake getting five Of them
Hauser famed nine and allowed but
one hit, a three Dagger by Kohl. He
was very wild in spots, and had it not
been for the gild edged support he
received the tale would have been
different

ninth when Henke flew out to Theis-
ing who doubled Spies at first.
