On Decoration Day the Big Fellows
won from the Wisconsin Centrals in a
game Astounding with home runs, er-
rors too numerous to count, etc. Only
five umpires were needed to umpire
the game, D. T. Pilgrim, ST., a profes-
sional umpire from the Western
League, doing his best to win the game
for Wauwatosa. Other umpires We're:
Wright, Farnham, Murphy and Nc
Carthy. Ed. Lester, the old war
horse, was in the game, his heavy hit
ting being a feature. If Connie Mack
had seen him play he would probably
have signed him on the spot. Joe

make an error-as he did not get a
chance. Siegert, another veteran,
whacked the ball on the nose for base
hits, as did Wahl. Chas. Farnham
