RESULTS OF TWO SUNDAY BALL GAMES

Rensselaer Players Were With Losing Teams But Made Good in > Their Individual Positions.

Howard Clark pitched for Monticello Sunday against the fast Goodland team and while the White county lads were defeated by a score of 5 to 0; Clark is reported to have pitched a game that would win nine times out of ten. Only four hits were made from his delivery, two of them being scratch hits. Goodland had a Chicago battery, reported to have cost them SSO, and Monticello batted very well, but could not bunch their hits. “Sherm” Parks played in the field for Monticello and missed a fly at a critical stage, but it was a hard running chance. Elmer Wilcox again caught for Whefitfield and the team was again defeated. Lowell made 4 scores to Wheatfield’s 3. Wileox played a good game behind the bat. Wheatfield got a bad start this year, and this is its third defeat, but it is just getting into shape and within another week will be in good condition if practice is indulged in. Local fans, enthused by the work of Clark and Wilcox, are talking about starting a team here. Clark has offers at two or three other places and it may be difficult to keep him here, although Rensselaer will have the advantage in case a team is started here.
