The Locals Get Back into Their Old Stride, After
Several Defeats. and Play Winning Ball
By J. r. s.

HlAg pally of different Still
NH%NRN water teams and playing
l!4YlgB under the name of "Oak
Park" invaded Rec1 cation Park last
Saturday and were defeated by a
a score of Z to 2.
It was somewhat of disagree
able day for baseball. The wind
blew strong and cold from the
Northwest, while the atmosphere
was cloudy and threatening rain.
In consequence thereof the usual
bunch of fans who crowd the ropes
for places of vantage we're contin.
ually on the move to keep their
bodies sustained with warmth.
Therefore, the usual amount of in
terest and excitement which always
accompany our ball games here
was somewhat ON the laggard last
Saturday.
The locals won the game in the
first inning and by playing superb
ball for the remainder of the game,
they were able to hold their place
of vantage. In this inning East,
the first man up, was thrown out,
Peulen to Shell. Then Brad hit
one out for a home run. Bush was
thrown out, Berg to She'll. Jam
got on by Shells error and ad-
vanced to third station on Bran's
two-bagger. Burn drove a groun-
der to right field, scoring Jam and
Bran. Helm was put out, Berg to
Shell. Seven men came to bat in
this inning, who found the ball for
three hits, and aided by one error,
three scores crossed home plate.
In the third frame the locals were
presented with another score.
East drew a base on balls then
promptly stole second and third.
and a moment later scored on a
passed ball. In the eighth, errors
again were responsible for another
score being added to the locals
column. Burn got on by Peulen' S
wild throw to first and went to Sec
ond station on the same. He then
stole third base and scored on a
passed ball.
The visitors we're unable to get a
hit or figure in the score column
till the fourth inning. In this
frame Shell was thrown out, Add
to Jam. Lenord landed on one
for three-bagger and scored on
Peulen's hit. Berg got safe hit
Dooham advanced both runners a
station each, and things began to
look rather serious for the locals,
even though two men were out.
The best Burns could do was to
Whit the air three times, thus end
ing the anxiety for the time being.
Although the visitors did not prove
to be very dangerous again until
the ninth inning. Then Burns, the
first man up, got a safe hit and adj
vanced to third on Cayou's hit.
Burns tried to score on Carlstrom's
grounder but was thrown out at
home plate, Bran to Helm. Cayou
advanced to third on the play.
Mcpherson rolled slow grounder
to short and on a felder's choice
the ball was played to home plate
but on a close decision Cayou
scored and Mcpherson was thrown
out at second, Helm to Brad. Shell
popped up a fly to Bran which
ended the game.
The visitors were very much
handicapped by being unorganized
to fill the places assigned to them
at the opening of the game. The
numerous changes of the players
throughout the game to strengthen
their defensive bears out this
theory. Every man on the team
played two or more positions.
Peulen's pitching ability was not
as good as what he has presented
to the fans in the past. He was
on the mound for five innings in
Saturdays contest and during that
