The past week him witnowwd a number of base ball games in our city. The games were well at tended by large crowds who seemed to thoroughly enjoy the "port. On Tlunsday afternoon a team from Voucolla and a home team made up of boys under 15 years of age ctosscd bats on the Slouffer grounds. Thu game resulted iu a victory for the home team by a score of 13 to 5. Some dissatisfac tion was caused by the Cottage Grove team's battery who slightly exceeded the agreement in age and and weight, but otherwise the boys weie evenly matched and put up a good game of ball, Immediately alter the small boys finished their game the professional ami business men of Cottage Grove lined up 011 the field to buttle for stipremocy iu a five inning game. The professional men proved their superiority 011 the diamond and won by a score ol 18 to 6. The game was devoid of any sensational plays but nevertheless it furnished the spectators plenty of amusement and that was what they had assem bled for. The winners were imme diately challenged by the clerk's to play on Sunday, the losers to pay for supper for the two teams, which challenge was accepted by the pro fessionals. The following is the line-up of the two teams: I'KOIMtSSIO.S'AI.S JIUSINHSS MKN Taylor c Lnwson Uriggs p Nelson Wooley ib ' Newlnnd Martin 2b Hristow Johnson 3b Holland Petrie ss Johnson Grillilh rss W Hcmenway Neliwn cf 1 toward Ostrander cf Jordan Case rf I) Hcmenway On last Saturday the C. M. A nine went to I.oranc where they played the team nt that place, which resulted in a victory for the Lornnc nine bya score of 25 td i. , On Sunday the game was pulled off bctwesn the professionals aiid clerks. Owing to the rivalry be tween the two teams the nines were not made up wholly of professional men and clerks. The game re sulted iu a score of 12 to 13 in fa vor of the professionals. The score was close throughout the en tire game and neither sidchnd an advantage until the last man was put out. One thing that marred the game was the loivdyism which is not nil infrequent occurrence at a ball game. In the evening the two nines betook themselves to the Sherwood house where an excellent chicken supper awaited them, and where the ferocious appetites of all were satisfied to their heart's con tent. The following is the line-up of the two teams: I'KQl'SSIONAI.S CLERKS Wallace c Griffith Uennctt p McQueen Baker ib Hcmenway Martin 2b Blair Nelson 3b Akin Harms ss Robinson Case rss Lawson Johnson If Griffin Petrie cf McClellan Medley rf Dutton UNVEILING 01' MONUMENT.
