WHEATFIELD DEFEATED ST. JOSEPH SUNDAY

The St. Joe varsity base ball team went to Wheatfield Sunday for a game with the new organized club of thqt place, and received a setback ill the way of a 8 to 5 trouncing, the home club battering the offering of Wellman, the college hurler, and driving him from the box. Meyers of the home club did well, tightening in the pinches and turning back the St. Joe stickers when they assumed a threatening attitude. However, the collegians bunched their hits sufficiently enough to make the game interesting. Fendig, Wheatfield catcher, led his mates with the stick and accounted for several of the run manufactured by Wheatfield. The Wheatfield club is composed of many of t£e old time players who formerly placed Wheatfield well up in base ball circles. Tom. and Carlie Jensen are on the infield and Miller, the heavy hitting outfielder, is going as well as he ever did, and Meyers is coming back to .sueh an extent that Wheatfield is going to be quite a formidable outfit. , , The teams which played yesterday will meet again Memorial day.
