VIROQUA DEFEATS FARCE
AND CLIMBS A NOTCH
Cashton Beats Richland Center-Bos-
cObel Defeats Yiola-Hillsboro
Wins from Soldiers Grove

La Fargo added one more to their
lcng list of defeats, Sunday, when our
boys goi. to their pitcher in the Tth
inning with five singles that Melted
three runs. Outside of this inning
the La Fargo lads put up a steadier
game than our team, and really de-
served to win. Viroqua went into the
game with two new players and one
change in lineup, which was reflected
in the number of errors made.
La Farge's only score come in the
second, the result of an error-a wild
throw from short to first. In the
fourth Viroqua got into an awful hole,
a single, walk and fielder's choice
that was choice filling the bases
with nobody gone. Great was the re-
lief of the Viroqua fans when the next
man rolled grounder to Schultz who
shot it back to the plate and Carl
relayed it to first, making neat doub-
lie play. The next man flew out to
Lad Garin. They were only danger
Gus in these two innings.
Viroqua led off strong with two
Dagger by Pat Garin and single by
Tom Garin. 1t looked rosy, but a
double play dashed our hopes. Lad
Garin led with a single the next frame,
but to no avail. Again in the fourth
he knocked a three-bagger but moth
ing followed The merry -go-round
started in the 7th with singles by Lad
and Kjos. Mewitt got on by a field
ers' choice which retired Lad Our
right fielder rolled grounder to first
base. Two on and two out! Then
Schultz, Pat and Tom singled in sue
cession, scoring Kjos, Mewitt and
Schultz.
Our boys gathered nine hits off
Reed, He struck out four Schultz
famed six, walked one and was touch
ed for only three hits.
Dunbar of Viola umpired fairly
good game.
Lad Garin played his best game this
season, getting five chances clean, and
three hits Carl Curtis made a magni-
ficent foul catch against the grand
stand platform. Mewitt made a fine
catch in the 9Th. LaFarge's stortstop
made one hand scoop and throw to
first that was a beauty. Their third
baserlan caught hot high line drive
from Schultz bat that looked good for
two bases.
Pickwick,a university pitcher, threw
for Hillsboro, and they say he sure
went fine. Bartel pitched splendid
game for the Grove, but the support
behind him cracked in the 9th inning
and six scores crossed the plate on
about as many errors.
Higbee, an Iowa man, pitched for
Boscobel and we understand Viola
only got one real clean hit off him.
Three scores were made off Big Ben
in the first inning He protested
fhsa cra mo baca1iesa of ;nearract dieta ncn
between the pitchers slab and home
plate.
We are also informed that Richland
Center protested their game because
Shotten of Cashton used the "shinen
hall. The. directors of the league ex-l
pressly ruled against the use of soap,
slippery elm, saliva or any other con-
coction on the bal, and if Shotten used
anything we hope the protest is sus-
tanned. Viroqua's pitcher was not
permitted to use it last year and
what is sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gander."
