WHEATFIELD TOOK SERIES IN UNINTRESTING GAME

The Wheatfield base ball team met St. Joseph college in the deciding game of a three-game series at the college grounds Sunday afternoon and won an easy victory, the final score being 11 to 3. The unsteady pitching of the college moundsmen was accountable for the St. Joseph defeat. Wheatfield, garnered three runs off of Fehrenbacher in the opening inning, a hit batsman, two walks, an infield out and a single producing the runs. Fehrenbacher was removed in the second inning after he had walked the first two men to face him. Harber relieved him but was unable to check the visitors. St. Joseph played the worst brand of ball she had produced this season. Lou Jensen ascended the mound for Wheatfield and the manner in which he worked showed that his absence from the game these past several years hpd produced no ill effects. All Lou did was to turn the collegians back with four hits, two of the scratch variety. He was as steady as a clock throughout and it may be that there are several , good games left in his arm.
