ATHLETICS WALLOPED BY GOODLAND TEAM

Received SoJnd Trouncing—Many Errors was Cause—General ShaLup Coming. ’

' L Butting: u£ as ragged an exh4bition as the worst sand lot game ever played, fthe Athletics went down to »n tgnominous defeat ®t the hands of >tle fast buncjh ot pi-M pestlers from Goodfand. Hitting,' mixed with nfumeraus errors of commission and omission tell the sad bale. Stupid base running held down the chances of moie Athletic runs and when Inglis got In trouble the Newton county dads fielded supeihly behind him and the blue legs were left on the hassocks. Inglis, who (had a tryout with the Cubs, was on the mound for Goodland, while Clark went to the firing lirie for the locate Both were touched up rather if reedy. The Athletics belted the offerings of Inglis for ten safe drives, while- Clark was touched for twelve, showing that the Athletic bobbies caused the downfall. Goodland earned two of their runs and thetest were-direct gifts. Both of the'Rensselaer runs came as a result of bits. We admit that Goodland has a good balk,dub, but also believe that if the Athletics had put up the game that they did at Delphi a wefek ago the fans would have seen a teal ball (game. Goodland te to come 'here the 16th of August and they will have to play-ball- every minute. x Despite a couple of boots in the first round the Athletics got away without being marked up any. Ro binsod was out and Mown also went out Swartell slapped a single to right and took second on a bum heave by Meade Wilcox followed with another safety, Dad going to third, scoring a minute Hater on Hatton’s well placed ibingle to right. Beebe struck out With this one run lead the Athletic® evidently thought that they had no right to be out in front so proceeded to let two Goodland runs slip over the plate In every inning from the second on the Goodland lads managed to get at least one run to the round. The Athletics managed to get another ran over the counting pan in the fourth. Morgan tripled. RwantzeU was opt, but Morgan came over on Willie’s grounder to deep short This finished the run getting for the afternoon for the locals. In ithe seventh Dad laced to left that had all the appearance of ibeing good for the round trip but it was dragged down by the Goodland gardener after a hard .sprint I The Athletic infidd worked like a sieve and all the wailalble substitutes were used up in an endeavor to plug up the inner works. Seventeen errors were made by Rensselaer and ten of these care at second base, while .several were fielded too slowly, but went as hits. Run after run bias 'been host to the locals this year by poor work on the Wlsß * (rtjS 50 uniffiT (a. giannc All dhoring themselves to the the (Sacks wildly and were ea'sj- prey J for the Goodland catcher.
