BALL GAMES GALORE
SUNDAY AND MONDAY
Eagle Made Pretty Win from
CrandOn-Rain Stopped In
dian Game Monday
Wabeno Coming


locals snatched victory from what
seemed certain defeat over at Gran
don last Sunday afternoon, piling up
five runs in the lucky seventh and
three more in the eighth and ninth
innings, giving them a total Of ten
over Crandon's nine.
From the start it looked like Gran
don. That team ran IN six in the sec
ond inning and one more in the third
The best Eagle could do was one each
in the second and fifth, and the game
went into the seventh frame with
Crandon holding the big end Of to
2 score. Then the fireworks cut
loose. Two base hits, three base hits
and couple of passes filled the sacks
and the boys began coming home. in
one, two, three order Five scores
were made in that inning, which left
the game a. tie. CraAdon added two
more in their next ame at bat and
Eagle duplicated it in the eighth.
Crandon faied to connect after that,
but Eagle squeezed another one out
in the ninth, winning the game.
Legate pitched the first seven in
nings and BoWker finished. Barring
the second lining, the team played
good ball There were errors enough,
but as the season advances and the
team gets better acquainted with its
lineup, they will be eliminated. Sun
days game proved that We've got
the material and it will soon be in
shape to win its full share of games.
1t was an awful disappointment for
Crandon Sunday. That team had
played Rhinelander, which has a
strong team the week before and
came within couple of runs of win
ming the game. Elated over that
victory, someone from Crandon fool
ishly said that Eagle River wouldn't
see first base. Bum guess, that We
not only saw first base, but all the
rest of the bases too, and managed to
cross the pan just one more time than
the Crandon men did When the two
teams meet in return game here, it
will be game worth going long
way to see.
Monday afternoon Eagle River
lined up against the Flambeau Indi-
ans A week ago that team handed us
a shut-out over on their home grounds.
With change in the lineup it didn't
look as though the red men were go
ing to duplicate that stunt here, but
they have a strong team and know
how to handle the ball. Fans were
all primed for hot game and GER
tainly got their moneys worth in the
first four innings. Eagle led off with
two runs in the first. Flambeau got
one in the second and two in the
third, and then both teams frightened
up. But in the fifth things went wild.
Flambeau punched three hits and
Eagle helped them out with as many
errors, so that by the time three men
were down, the Indians had scored
three more, making total of 6 to 2.
And then it rained, and rained and
rained That put an end to ball play
ing for that day.
Those of the more pessimistic turn
of mind began offering thanks to old
J. Pluvius, but the majority of the
fans, knowing what the team did at
Crandon the day before, did not lose
heart They were convinced that we
could have defeated the Indians. 1t
might have been, but there certainly
would had to have been some elm
ination of errors in the remaining
innings AS the game ended before
five full innings had been played, it
was declared no game, but that does
not settle the score between the two
teams We want to see them meet
again and fight it out to the finish
State Line and Phelps battled it out
in fine style Sunday on the Phelps
diamond At the end of nine innings
State Line led with a score of 10 to
8. State Line has a good team this
year. Watersmeet was numbered
among it's victims early in the season
The Conover team travelled to Say
ner Sunday and took the small end of
a IA to score. Conover says it was
due to errors; Sayner said good play
ing did it. Well say it was combi-
nation of both and a good game at
that
Wabeno is scheduled to play here
Sunday. The game will be called at
three o'clock sharp and it is going to
be fast one. Wabeno is no easy
mark, so be on the side lines to help
