Wrens Played Some Fledglings And Lost Game at Monon Sunday.

The Wrens were defeated at Monon Sunday by the score of 9 to 3. The line-up was weakened by the absence of Jensen, McLain and Elder and the fledglings who filled up the gaps left some big cracks under the bottom board. Elmer Wilcox caught and Swartzell pitched and the game went along nicely for five innings when errors started things against the Wrens and the balance of the game everything went wrong." " r "~ Monon was stocked up some for the contest and the Wrens had had no practice and the line-up waa very weak. Harold Clark, whti %as been playing with the school for the deaf team at Indianapolis, played left field and made a circus catch that brought the big crowd of spectators to their feet. The timber for the Wrens is increasing but Frank Kresler has decided that his business affairs are such that he canpot take the management of the team and there was a big lack of preparation for Sunday’s -game. Next Sunday a game will be played on the home grounds if the present arrangements are completed.
