Bezdek declared a ball club must

his argument with the story of Will

Pirates did not have the necessary
punch to aid him with run or two,

reasonable, too.

they are, and Whitfield gets his price
and whatever glory is attached to the

Luderus From Milwaukee.
Luderus was born in Milwaukee on
September 2, 1886 He has been with
the Phillies ever since he joined them
in 1910, prior to which year he was
with the Chicago Nationals for min
ute or two in 1909. He was thought
to be about through when he batted
24S in 1914, but he took a new lease
on life when Pat Moran became man
ager of the Pills in 1905, and helped
the Pills to win the pennant that year
by batting .315.
Luderus has always been a better
first baseman than the public under
stood, a conclusion based upon obser.

In one Of the fastest and best
played games of baseball that Madl-
sonville has seen this season, the
crack Walk Over team of New Or
leans, was defeated by the local boys
by a score of to l. At no stage
OF fHe game did "Bugge smith, the
Madison moundsman seem to have
any trouble, except in the fifth inn
ing when the visitors scored their
one run. Smith worked his slow
outshoot overtime. 1t was pitiful at
times to see how far the Walk over
batters would miss it. His pitch
ing was one of the features of the
game, striking out eleven men. his
control being excellent. Only one
man went to first by the easy route
and that was when he hit Dittman.
jacksonville scored her two runs
in the fourth inning, after Warner
was thrown out from third to flrst.
Cohn singled, stole second, was fore
ed out by Koepp who went to sec
ond on Pelloat's hit. Next came
Dendinger and he proved that he is
to be relied upon when men are on
the bases. He singled, koepp scor-
ing. Pelloat surprised the grand
stand by his great burst of speed
when he went to third on this hit.
This was by far the most daring
piece of base running the local fans
have seen this season. With Den
dinger on first, Pelloat on thlrd,
these two old war horses pulled
double steal, Dendinger going to sec
ond, Pelloat scoring what finally
proved to be the winning run. The
grand stand went wild when this
master stroke of ball playing was
witnessed. Pelloat's fielding was
we'll above the average, handling
three very difficult chances without
an error.
The management of the Madison
vile team went lover the top when
it secured this game. The local boys
played great ball, but unfortunately
they were not rewarded for their eff
forts. We expected great deaI
larger attendance. Madisonville did
not stand by her boys in the matter
of gate receipts for last Sunday s
game and after all that is the en-
enlargement that all ball teams need
We hope that this error will moi
occur next Sunday when Madison
