Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 208, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 September 1911 — Rejuvenated Wrens Beaten 8 to 4 at Goodland Sunday. [ARTICLE]

Rejuvenated Wrens Beaten 8 to 4 at Goodland Sunday.

The Wrens under the joint management of Jensen and Parks went to Goodlandi Sunday and were defsn*«d by the score of 8 to 4. The grounds were very rough and the game had a tagged appearance on account of the errors. Swartzell pitched four Innings and was going very nicely, except for the errors that resulted in the piling up of six scores. The errors were about all excusable on account of the grounds. Zard, a former Jasper county boy, who is now a resident of Mitchell, S. Dak., and home for a visit, took a hand in the pitching and worked very well. He has a lot of speed and some good curves and the making of a good pitcher. In four innings he struck out. five and allowed but one hit Errors,! however, gave Goodland two more scores.

Swartzell, for the locals, had on his batting clothes, getting a double and two singles; Jensen got three stolen bases and Jess Wilcox played a star game in center field, making three circus catches and figuring in a tlmel r double play. The game was largely for practice for the horse show games and the bovc feel that they will be in good shape to meet the visiting teams next week. With a little practice to steady them down in their throwing they have the making of a good team.

Tullis, who has resided in Jasper county for the past twentyfive years and who lives on the former Renicker farm, was up in Michigan last week and rented a fruit farm of ten aejes near New Troy, not far from St. Joe, to which place he will move in the The former Renicker farm now belongs to Mr. and Mrs. E.
