Highway Trailer Team Wins.

Trailer stock has gone above par due
to the Trailer team scoring their Sec
| ond victory over the Footville White
Sox in a game full of thrills at the
Driving Park Sunday afternoon before
a crowd of over 300, the largest of the
season, by the close margin of to 4.
The game was fast and exciting
throughout and there was question as
to the outcome until taps were sounded.
Footville put across the first marker in
the fourth. This only spurred the
home nine to exert themselves to the
limit, with the result that in their half
of the fourth, with the bases full, L..
Olson stepped into one for nice two
Dagger to left field which scored three
Trailers. The locals maintained the
lead until the sixth when the Sox be-
came unruly and pushed three more
runs over the home pan. They were
unable to retain the lead for any length
of time, however, as the home boys
pushed across run in the seventh,
which tied the score, and added an
other tally in the eighth which was the
deciding and final score of the game.
Flemming of the visitors and Her
manson of the locals pitched gilt edged
ball and had it not been for errors on
both sides the score would have been
considerably smaller.
The locals are scheduled to play at
the Driving Park Sunday against the
Madison nine whom they conquered
in their first game of the season to
in twelve innings.
But on June 22nd the fans will
have an opportunity of seeing a fast
Milwaukee team cross bats with the
locals, and on June 10Th the GAINESVILLE
team will appear here. This game
ought to prove the big game as there
is considerable rivalry between the
two teams and the locals are determin-
ed to cop this game and show James
vile we have regular ball team in
this city.
