Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 107, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 May 1915 — St. Joe Defeated by St. Ignatius, of Chicago. [ARTICLE]

St. Joe Defeated by St. Ignatius, of Chicago.

St Joe was defeated at the Sox park Wednesday by the St. Ignatius college team in a pitchers’ battle, 2 to 1. Ricks was on the mound for St. Joe and Kerman was doing slab duty for St Ignatius. St. Joe scored in the very first round and held this lead until the fourth, when the St Ignatius lads pushed one run over the counting pan. From the fourth until the ninth neither side was able to register and St Joe was blanked in their half of the ninth. Ricks wabbled in the St. Ignatius half and two of the home gang managed to get on the sacks, but there were two out at the time and it looked as if another extra inning btatle would be staged, when the batter cracked a sharp hit down toward first, where Annen was stationed, but Jack let it get away and a St Ignatius runner merrily scampered over the platter with the winning run.
