Goodland Defeats Chicago Union Giants, 3 to 2.

At Goodland the fast semi-profes-sional colored team of Chicago, the Union Giants, met defeat at the hands of the Goodland nine. A crowd, estimated at from 1,200 to 1,500 fans, gathered at the ball park there to see one of the best and fastest games of ball ever played in this section of the state, The battery of the Goodland team was the brothers Kluth, of Chicago, and the colored players did not make a single clean hit'off the white side wheeler. . Four hits were garnered from Norman, the colored boxman. Goodland made their first tally in a peculiar way, the third out being made on a runner from second to third, but the score crossed the plate before the out was made, the score"thus counting, as the out was not made by the batsman. Goodland then held the Giants runless for several innings, when a base on balls and two errors filled the bases with their opponents. The catcher for the Goodland team then threw to third base to catch the runner there, but said baseman was not on the bag and the ball went sailing into left field, and two of the dingey runners crossed the pan. The Goodland lads were then mowed down in one, two, three order and it looked like the smoky gents from the’ windy city had the game sewed up and put away on ice. But in the last half of the ninth, an error by the center fielder and bobbles in the infield gave the Goodland boys two runs, enough to win, after one out. Goodland has a very fast team and their first and third sackers are dandies. Special mention should also be made of McCurry, the center gardner, who is lightning fast in the field, covering lots of territory, and made several circus catches. Sensational plays on both sides, choice bits of fielding and the base running of the Giants, were features. Several auto loads from Rensselaer attended the game.
