HS01NgH gave the locals the worst
NGy drubbing they have re-
ceived since the Oak Park team
shut them out last September.
And in fact it is only the second
time for the locals to be shut out
since baseball has been introduced
here in our silent city. This is
saying very much and it is some-
thing for the locals to be proud of,
considering the ability of the ma
jority Of the visiting teams to play
ball. Again, the locals have been
very much handicapped for the
want of daily practice, due, no
doubt, to the fact that the twine
plant for the past six weeks has
been working twelve and one-half
hours per day. The overtime work
being dispensed with now, perhaps
the locals will be given their for
mer workouts as usual. If so, we
anticipate On witnessing a marked
Improvement at the batting end of
the game. At this position the
locals are woefulIy weak and are in
need of much practice. However,
Saturdays game was an excellent
exhibition without having their
usual amount of practice.
Rose, who did the twirling for
the visitors, pitched wonderful
ball. He struck out eighteen men
and allowed but three stingy hits.
Rose did exceptionally good work
with the bat: out of four times to
bat he gets one single and one
double hit.
Ettinger carried off the batting
honors for the visitors: out of five
times to bat he gets two singles
and one double hit and crossed the
plate for two scores.
Taking all things into considera-
ton, Lee did good work on the
mound and besides he had good
support behind him. The errors
his teammates made were of vari-
ETY. that were exceptionally hard to
handle, for all the balls that we're
hit by the opponents left their bats
like cannon shot. By Lee strik-
ing out only six men this gave the
infield plenty of work to do, as the
lineup will show the number of
assists he received.
Brad's base stealing was the
main feature of the day. In the
fourth frame he gets safely to first
when Sanford fumbles his ground
er. He then steals second and third
base, but meantime the second
man had been retired and two
strikes on the third. Brad then
attempts to steal home and was
within sliding distance when the
batsman struck at the ball, which
was a low one, and was out, retir-
ing the side. Again in the ninth,
after one man had been retired,
Brad lands on one for a safe hit;
he then steals second while the
following man strikes out; he then
dashes to third while Burn is reach
ing out for wide balls; he then
races with the ball for home and
slides between the batter's legs
over the plate, but the batter
struck at the ball, which was high
er than his head, thus retiring the
side, causing Brad's sensational
stealing home to 60 for naught.
The visitors we're accompanied
by large number of baseball en-
thusiasts of the fairer sex. With
their appearance upon the grounds
this, no doubt, helped wonderfully
to stimulate the visitors vigor b
baseball playing.
Itis worthy'to note that this same
team was here August Is. 1917.
They went home the victors by a
score of 4 to / on that day. Al
though they had a much harder
row to hoe to victory on that day
than they had last Saturday, Rose
