OXFORD GOT WRENS WISHBONE.

Long String of Victories Broke in Heart-Rending Game. A deep gloom has settled over the foster parents, the fans, of our bedraggled Wrens. Oxford’s would-be champs are responsible for our undoing, and on our own lot, too. Trouble started in the first, and their half of the storm lasted until the third, and five big scores had been piled up. It began to look like a rarebit dream for us till Kepner, Parks, McLain. et al. started trouble, and when the curtain dropped in the ninth inning we had secured only a tiny three spot. We trim them a week from Sunday oh their own pastures. The feature of the game was the throw Oxford’s right fielder made from a sitting position after he had fallen and dislocated his knee, in an effort to reach a ball batted by Carrol.
