GOODLAND DEFEATED WHEATFIELD SUNDAY

Monon Was Victorious Over DelphiFine Games Witnessed by Number of Rensselaer Fans.

A number of Rensselaer basebhll fans witnessed a ball game Sunday. Some went by auto to Wheatfield and witenssed the Goodland-Wheatfield game at that place, while others saw the Monon-Delphi game at the latter place. Goodland had stocked up for the game with the Wheatfield Regulars and had Carl Crandall, the Memphis league shortstop, whom Indianapolis drafted, playing third base. It was largely his heavy hitting that brought victory to the Goodland team. The final score was sto 4. Lou Jensen pitched a good game for the Regulars and was well supported. Tommy Jensen made two errors in the early part of the game but after that tightened up and put up a fine game. The score went seesaw from first to last and Wheatfield had a man on third base in the ninth and threatened to tie the score, but the side was retired before he got in. A large crowd attended the game, about three hundred Goodland fans going to Wheatfield on a special train.

Elmer Wilcox and Howard Clark Went to Delphi to play with Monon, but Clark was not used, the game being pitched by a man from Michigan City. He bad the Delphi Comers at his mercy about all the game and the final score was Monon 6, Delphi 2, Wilcox played first base for Monon and owing to his sprained ankle was not in good batting trim and did not connect as he usually has done. There were more than a thousand people at the game, the receips being $260.
