GOOD GAME AT BALL PARK LAST
ENENING-GATE RECEIPTS
AMOUNT TO 5000,

Shortly after the O'Clock whistle
blew last evening, the business men
of the east side of Egan avenue be-
gan spirited contest at the ball park
as st a team of business men of
the west side. r. f. Scudder man
aged the lineup for his side and Cliff
ford Coffey selected the men and di-
rected the playing of the west side
ball tossers. The lineup was as fol-
lows:
East Side-Scudder, C; Schaeffer,
1b; Porter, 2b; Newenhuis, SIS;
Wenk, 3b; Mitterling, p; Schultz, rf;
Norton, If; TOmmeraason, cf.
West Siders-Tibbits, IS; Coffey,
p; Davies, c; Johnson, 2b; Mckay,
1b; Fairchild, rf; O'Neill, If; Breed
love, cf; Sculley, 3b.
Neither side confined its lineup to
nine men since more than that num-
Der were traded in and out as in
nings progressed.
Henry Mitterling pitched through
the seven-inning game and SculIy
and Coffey held down the mound at
different times for the west side
team.
Not long after the west went to
bat people kept drifting in through
the gate until near the middle of the
clash when there must have been
fully 500 present as spectators. The
gate receipts of $120.4O indicated
that number.
No scores We're made in the first
inning, but the east siders ran in two
in the second. Coffey's giants took
two in the third and the east side
men triumphed in four more in the
last half of the fourth. The western
boys got three scores in the fifth in
ming and two in the first half of the
seventh. In the sixth inning Scud-
der's picked forces made five good
runs, bringing their total up. to IL,
whereas, the west side team only
made seven altogether.
Good natured raillery prevailed
throughout the entire game and
though ridiculous errors were made,
still the work of both teams was very
creditable. to say the least, consider
ing the fact that all the men had
been away from such active sport for
years.
Scudder and Davies caught we'll;
Coffey and his side partner, Mr.. Soul
ly, also Mitterling, pitched good ball.
Newinhuis simply swallowed the flies
coming his way; Tibbits, Davies, Cof-
fey, Schaeffer, Scully, Fairchild,
Schultz, Norton and others simply
filled the clouds with heavy hits to
the merriment of the grandstand
fans. Keller starred in home run.
Larson froze to the willow and left
the sphere quartered in grass back of
centerfielder's territory. Breedlove
lacked faith and Mckay pounded the
ball almost to pulp.
AS the west siders beheld their
prospects for victory dimming in the
sixth inning an entire squad of fans
that lined the sundown side of the
bleachers, rose enmasse to root"
vociferously, hoping to paralyze Nit
terling's nerve. This availed not and
today the east side men are reciting G
to each other their experiences of
that real spirited contest.
At the conclusion of the game Drs.
Westaby and Baughman had autos
waiting to convey the players to the
new Madison hospital, where ladies
served ice cream and cake.
There was small expense in con-
nection with the game, hence, the
hospital management will profit by
last evenings benefit to the amount
| of slightly over 500.
Franklin township is preparing to
meet the winners in the near future.
