Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 96, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 August 1898 — A Good Game, But— [ARTICLE]

A Good Game, But—

The Rensselaer Ball team with a following of about 30 rooters drove to Remington yesterday morning and boarded the 9:38 train for Sheldon to return the game of ball due them. Those that attended the game pronounce it one of the best games of the season. It was exciting from start to finish. For three innings neither side scored. In the fourth each side scored a tally. Sheldon added one in the sixth and one in the ninth, while Rensselaer was unable to score any more. Thus the result stood 3 to 1 in favor of Sheldon. Bowen and Boville formed the Rensselaer battery and did effective work. Only six errors were made in the entire game, three by each team. Our people were very cordially received by our Sheldon friends.
