Wrens Capture Slugging Bee From Remington Sunday Afternoon.

The Wrens won. their second game Sunday afternoon, defeating Remington by the score of 12 to 9 in the greatest slugging bee that ever took place on the home diamond. Two home runs, one three-bagger, nine two-baggers and thirteen singles was the total for the two teams. The Wrens did not look as good as they did a week before at Monticello, owing to the absence of Jensen from second base and the necessary shift to supply that place. Swartzell was in the box and that left a hole at first which Mount filled fairly well, and required another fill in the field. That was enough to take the ginger out of the team and the recruits did not prove competent. Bruner had a couple of chances in center field and lost them both and the error column shows a total of 6 errors, all of which were quite expensive in advancing runners. Had “Dad’s” support been gilt-edged he would have made a good showing, for he struck out 8 man and only eased up after the support became ragged. The game demonstrated one thing and that is the fact that four youngsters are going to make good at baseball, viz., Elder, Parks, Clark and Robinson. Elder fielded a lot of territory and robbed Remington of two long hits by spectacular catches. Robinson took three out of four chances at second and handled himself excellently, while Clark accepted four chances at third. Elmer Wilcox caught a fine game, had 12 put outs and two assists and made four hits out of five times up, one of which was a triple and two doubles. His throwing arm is strong. Parks plays snappy ball at shortstop and got a home run and a double.

The game girted off with everything looking like an easy thing for the Wrens and at the end of the fifth inning they had scored 9 runs and the visitors had none. Then the visitors began to bat some and the support got shaky and the visitors batted some more and made two scores in the sixth, two in the seventh and five in the eighth. That closed their scoring and the Wrerffc were able to score another in the sixth and two in the eighth. George Plunkett was in the role of a “peerless leader,” but he was so overcome by success that he could scarce ly have led a kitten a few hours after the game. It looks now as though some other person would have to take hold of the team to secure for it the confidence of the public and the respect of the players. There was never

BADER ORDERED TO BEGIN TERM IN THE PENITENTIARY.

Sheriff Hoover Directed to Toko Him To Michigan City and Bader Agrees to Meet Hie There. Clinton L. Bader recently wrote to Governor Marshall thanking him for his executive clemency and abating that he was now prepared to begin his sentence. The governor replied by directing that he at once surrender himself to the sheriff of Jasper county, which was one of the conditions of the parole. The governor also wrote to Sheriff Hoover, directing him to take Bader to Michigan City to begin his sentence of two to fourteen years. The sheriff and the convicted man talked over the telephone and Bader agreed to meet the sheriff in Michigan City Tuesday. Sheriff Hoover will leave Rensselaer Tuesday morning and will take with him the commit.rnent papers and Bader will begin his term. The policy of the present board of pardons is to release on parole all those who have completed the minimum term of their sentence and whose record is good. This will probably mean that he will be released on parole after two years. The Winamac Democrat-Journal closes a short article about Bader with the following paragraph: When Mr. Bader steps inside the prison walls his enemies, who have harassed him, robbed him, and assailed him from all points, will glory in a pitiless revenge that every honest man condemns.
