LOCAL TEAM WINS
FAIR DAY GAMES
Charlie Hanke Swatted the
Ball Over the Cowshed
and Made a Home
Run Yesterday

Wednesdays game with Laona at
the fair grounds was a thriller for
local fans. Started out with runa-
way for the visitors. the Laonians
piling up seven runs in the first in
ming. But after that Bowker, the
Eagle hurler, got his arm in action
and the rest of the team frightened
up on their support. Laona got but
four hits throughout the game. The
remaining eight innings netted that
team only two more runs, while the
locals found the ball consistently all
the time, getting IA runs in hits.
Miller, Laona's imported Indian
pitcher, proved easy for the boys, so
much so, in fact, that he had to re-
tire in the sixth, his place being
taken by ]. Collins But Collins
couldn't stem the tide The locals
were dropping over a barrage of
hits that would weaken any thrower.
The boys were heavy on the stick
Wednesday as the summary shows
The real thriller was staged in
t. Eagles last time at bat.
Englestead got a hit, White got a hit
and EwaId drew a pass. That left
the bases full, with Bowker at bat
Herb pounded out beautiful three
Dagger, scoring the three of them,
and managed to score himself be-
fore the side was retired.

Thursdays game was won easily
by Eagle River with a score of IL
to 2. The locals got a better start
than in the first game and held the
lead all the way through, getting IL
hits to Laona's 2. Collins, who fin
ished Wednesdays game for the
visitors, was on the mound again
yesterday and lasted seven innings.
The Indian took Collins place in
the eighth but his offerings were
easily taken care of, the locals
scoring four times after the red
skin had the game in charge Col
Inns pitches good ball.
Bowker, who pulled his team out
of a big hole Wednesday, pitched
the first four innings Thursday, al
lowing only two hits His hurting
was of the winning brand all the
way through and he had support
that was well nigh errorless. Kue-
hne went on in the fifth and Laona
failed to solve his southpaw assert
ment for a single hit.
Hanke saw Babe Ruth on the movie
screen Wednesday night and got wise
as to how "the king of batters" does
it. In the third inning he nailed a
good one, just like Babe, lifting it
clean over the cattle shed for homer
as neat circuit drive as was ever
swatted on the home grounds He
connected with several more to that
lucky left garden, but a two-bagger
was the best he could land.
The locals batted in great shape in {
boil games, especially the latter one.
Their hits were generally long ones
and clean. That, and good fielding
and snappy teamwork won the games.
Laona has good team. They are
a worthy opponent for Eagle any
time, notwithstanding the fact that
they lost four games to the locals
this season They play clean ball
and are sportsmen, which helps a lot.

follows;
Home run: Hanke. Two base hits:
Ewald, Bowker, Hanke, Carter.
