ATHLETICS DEFEAT LO WELL TEAM 5 TO 2

Sunday Witnesses Another Easy Victory For Rensselaer Athletics At Lowell. The Athletics journeyed to Lowell Sunday afternoon and handed the Lake county lads a neat trimming, 5 to 2. At no stage of the game did the Lowell tes have a chance. Shurte was on the mound for Lowell and was pounded at will by the Athletics. Fitzgerald pitched for the locals and had Lowell at his mercy throughout the entire game. He was touched for but four hits and struck out 13. Bunched hits, combined with trip bonehead work of the Lowell battery, were responsible for the Rensselaer rims. A passed (ball in the first Inning by Wifeox gave Lowell the first run. A hit and an error and a sacrifice gave them their second run. Wilcox undoubtedly tagged the man before he reached the pan, (but Umps Gregg said “No.” A great deal of wrangling was prominent during the contest This makes the second defeat handed Lowell by the Athletics this season and settles the question of supremacy beyond a doubt. The way the locals are connecting with the ball Is very encouraging. The Athletics tackle the Chippewas again Tuesday and a fast eombat is looked for. Lineup and summary: LOWELL.
