Date

Boscobei team and rooters-espe-
cially the latter-came over Sunday
bedecked with seven layers of war
paint, with a firm determination to
lift our sealps. With songs and yells
and much roofing they distui bed the
atmosphere even before the game
started, but like the leaves in the au-
tumn so fell their hopes as the game
progressed.
Hits by the Garin trinity-Lat,, Pat
and Tom-and sacrifice by Collins
scored two runs in the second inning.
In the fourth Curtis doubled and later
scored when two fielders interfered.
In the third Collins double drove Pet
Morrison to third with but one down
but we could not score. In the fifth,
with two men gone, Green passed
ShultZ, Pat singled, Curtis tripled, Ku-
blak got on through an error Walt
ger drove one between left and center
field, the two felders crashed a secCnd
time, fell, got up and cussed and look
ed for the bail while two scores cross
ed the plate. Morrison singled but the
next man died. Five runs in one in
ming! We understand that their
twirler, Green, was sick and should
not have started the game. They pull
ed MIN and put in Sullivan from Ga
lena in the sixtA He held our hitters
for one inning at the weak end of the
batting order. In the 7th, hades broke
loose. Pat doubled, Curtis doubled,
Kubiak singled, Walter doubled, Pet
doubled - three scoresl Five hits,
four of them doubles, one man hit,
and base on balls all in one inning
ought to satisfy any pitcher. We did
not play the last half of the ninth, yet
48 of our men faced their two pitchers,
gathering is hits, three walks. and II
scores.
Schultz pitched a beautiful steady
game for Viroqua, permitting seven
hits and striking out seven. Only
thirty-three men faced him. Bosco-
bel scored in the second and NINTH
runs. 1t was surely their off-day,
eight costly errors being chalked up
against them. Our team played in
fine form all through; only two errors.
After missing an easy catch, Tom Gar
in redeemed himself with brilliant
run and catch off the top o. the grass
les;. Curtis a triple and twt doubles (;
each. Some stickwork!
pired and handled the game in excel
lent impartial style with the exception
of few bum ones on balls and strikes.
Attendance at the game was about
500.
The fans will be pleased to know
that Pitcher Shultz has signed con-
tract Co remain with Viroqua the rest
of the season. His work has been
highly satisfactory, and Viroqua's pen
ant hopes, are high. Schultz turned
down some fattering offers to stay
with US.
Richland Center won from Hillsboro
to 1.
Soldiers Grove beat Muscoda to 2.
1t was see-saw game throughout, a
big crowd in attendance. Kellar and
Bartel pitched for the Grove. Carl
Coe umpired. Carl says the Soldiers
Grove ball park is the best in the lea
que. Viroqua's grounds are in need
of some Improvements, particularly
better bleacher accommodations for
the teams,
Cashton and Viola played a thriller
p to2 in the ninth. Then Cashton
showed across two runs, but only the
winning run counts so the score is of
ficially 3 to 2. .s.s .ss.t...g
La Fargo had an open date.
