DODGERS DROP
TWO TO DEL VEIN
Iowans Show Way 5 to 2 and to 4.

IOwans Show Way to 2 and 3 to 4.
Tuesday of last week the Dodgers
iourneyed to Oelwein, Iowa and en-
gagged the OeIwein Independents on
Tuesday and Wednesday, the short
end Of two close and exciting games
being their lot for the trip. From all
reports, and there were plenty OF fans
who travelled along to bring back the
story, the games were regular ones
and neither one over until the last
man was out.
"SWede" Delaney reported at Gel
vein and worked the Tuesday game.
Judging by the score book and the re-
ports of fans we can expect some
classy work from the 'SWede" this
season. The book gives six hits as
the Oelwein collection and eight
strike outs went to Delaney's credit.
From all reports he should have won
2 to 1.
No attempt will be made to cover
the game in detail. For seven innings
it was shut out ball on both sides. The
eigth accounted for OelWein's three
and our two came in the ninth.
Powell opened the eighth for OelWeln
with a single Mathews was safe on
an error. Mercer hit to Delaney and
file "Swede" got Powell at third.
With one down and runners on first
and second Wagner drove one at
Driggett A double killing was in
sight but the ball went through and
two runs scored. Hollenbeck singled.
Worden skied to Carroll. Taite scored
Wagner with a single and Minardo
was retired Van Roo to Schultz.
Driggett was thrown out at first to
open the ninth. Carroll singled.
Schultz flew out to short. Kappell
doubled, scoring Carroll, Albright,
pinch hitting for Gienke, singled,
scoring Carroll Powell took Otis fly
and the game was over.

earlier defeat at Madison. The Capt.

since the Dodgers shut them out in

pected.

Stoughton Takes First OF Series.

St0Ught0n Takes First of Series.
Sunday the Dodgers journey to
Stoughton for the first Of a six game
home and home series. The game had
been advertised as big attraction
and the gathering CT fans from all
over southern Wisconsin was the
largest crowd of the season at Slough
ton. The Madison papers had played
the game up as a pitchers battle and
Lathrop and Dodge certainly staged
one. The game was not decided until
the third man out in the ninth and
was only ended then on a questionable
decision.
Dodge had a bit of hard luck in the
first. With Breckenridge out Jimmy
had Meinert retired on strikes but
Umpire STATE missed the third one and
put Dodge in the hole. Meinert
singled. Keene came through with a
double past second and Meinert
scored.
The third saw the finish of Slough
toms scoring. Hornickle scratched a
single and advanced on sacrifice.
Meinert struck out and Buster"
Keene was up again. For some rea-
son Elliott played him to hit to right
center and Keene's high fly to center
went for triple, scoring Mornickle
After the second Stoughton never
threatened. In the seventh Maragi
swung at q bad one for the third
strike but was safe on a passed ball.
One Of Dodges spitters hit the plate
for a wild pitch and Maragi took Sec
ond. He took third when Driggett
failed to hold q throw to second but
the next three were easy outs.
Meantime Lathrop was showing
plenty Of stuff and receiving some
swell support. In the second Elliott
drove long fly almost to the center
field fence but Breckenridge was
back mile and gathered it in.
Schultz suffered the same fate on fly
to right
Schacht opened the third by catch
ing Harrup fiat footed on bunt which
| went for hit. On an attempted sac
rifice Eddie was out at second and
nothing further developed
In the sixth good support saved
Lathrop again. With one away Bell
got Lathrop in hole only to be robed
OF a triple Lathrop had the count
| two and nothing on the third sacker
but Bell then proceeded to mix in nine
! foul strikes with three balls. When
Lathrop got one in Bell hit to the
right field fence. Jerdee was playing
deep and caught the ball about a yard
! from the fence Immediately follow
J ing the catch on Bell Andrews turned
f., in another good one on Van Roo
The ninth furnished the excitement.
Bell led off with drive over second.
Van Roo famed and Andrews retired
Driggett on swell catch of line
drive which looked good for double.
Elliott singled and Schultz followed
suit, Bell scoring. With Elliott on
third Kappel drove one at Maragi
which the Stoughton short stop
! knocked down. His throw to first was
hurried and it looked to fully half the
crowd as though Keene was off the
bag when Kappel slid into first but
Umpire Lutzinger ruled otherwise
and the game was over, Elliott's score
not counting.

PlattevilIe Lost To Dodgers.

EIaJIeNIIle L0SI 10 D0USGFSs
On Friday Lancaster defeated
Platteville in another we'll played and
interesting game. Manager Tracy
had given the game good advertis-
ing by noising it around that he would
put on the field an all star aggrega-
ton which would surely do things to
Lancaster. Jack probably tried to
land a few outsiders to turn the trick
but his lineup was somewhat Of a dis
appointment to those who were look
ing for Hippo" Vaughan or Daven-
port on the mound No outside help
was needed, however, to make the
game an interesting exhibition.
Both teams scored in the second.
Kappel opened our half with triple
to the score board. Carroll scored
him with a single Otis moved Carroll
up a notch with a sacrifice and De-
laney walked. Bell hit to short and
Carroll was forced at third. Van Roo
came through with a single over
second scoring Delaney. In the home
half Gerlach singled with one down.
OrtOns out advanced him to second
and Johnny scored on CAROLS sin
gle.
The Dodgers came back for more
in the second. Driggett singled
Armstrong walked Elliott. Schultz
moved both runners up with bdnt
and both Steve and Rowdy came in on
passed ball which got away from
Gerlach
After this Lancaster did not threat
en- until the eighth when Schultz
singled and stole second. Carrolls
single advanced Cy to third but he
died there when the squeeze failed to
work.
In the ninth Platteville staged a
rally which produced another run.
Kindschi singled Keyes famed and
Schultz disposed Of Garvey unassisted.
Gerlach and Orion came through with
singles, Kindschi scoring on Orton's
effort Jack famed with Gerlach
and Orion waiting to score and the
game was over.
Delaney worked an easy game and
showed a lot Of stuff. After the
second he took it easy until the ninth
and frightened then before any dam
age was done.
The score:
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1922-06-21
Score by innings:

Batteries-Learn and Wagner; De-
Ianey and Otis.
Dodge worked the Wednesday game
and evidently his game was good
enough to win most any day. Oelwein
collected six hits, three of which were
punched in the fourth, but aside from
this inning no damage was done until
the eighth when Wagner hit for the
circuit and ties winning run.
Bell doubled on the first pitched
ball but died On third after Van Roofs
sacrifice. The second was also I'm
productive for Lancaster but OelWein
put one run on pass to Wagner fol-
lowed by a stolen base and an error
Kappel opened the fourth with a
triple. Hayes scored him with a sin
gle Carroll doubled scoring Hayes
Albright singled and was out stealing.
Slapnicka pulled Inman at this point
and Layman, a sOuthpaW, came in and
famed Dodge and Bell.
Minardo walked in the home half Of
the fourth Mercer skied to Carroll
Wagner and Hollenbeck singled and
Worden doubled three runs resulting
Lancaster added one in the seventh
on a pass to Bell, another to Van Roo,
and an error by Mathews, Oelwein
short stop. Kappel got a life in the
eighth on Hollenbeck's error. Hayes
walked and died with Carroll in a
double play. Albright's single counted
Kappel with the run that tied it up.
With one down in the Oelwein half
Wagner hit his homer and the scoring
was over as our ninth was featured
with three strike outs.
