Wheatfield Comment On the Ball Game.

Wheatfield Review. The Wheatfield high school defeated the Rensselaer high school baseball team by a score of five to one. Rensselaer was outclassed from the beginning. The game opened with our boys at bat. They succeeded in goose-egg-ing us the first inning and we then shut them out until the eighth inning. Ernest Asher run in our first score in the second inning. Rensselaer had a pitcher who won the admiration of bystanders and his opponents, but he had little support'. “Sox” pitched a good game for Wheatfield. Rensselaer will play us at Wheatfield in about three weeks. Our boys played as follows: “Sox” Myers, pitcher; Tedd Biggs, catcher; Grover Stembel, first base; Charley Jensen (Capt.), second base; Oscar Stembel, third base; Ernest Asher, short stop; Chester Nelson (Chafin), right field; Walter Danford, center field; Gilbert Seegrist, left field;. Oscar Turner, substitute. < Athletics are a great ipeans of advertising a school. It is a great debt that the Wheatfield school owes the above named boys.
