Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 1, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 September 1898 — Raub Shut Clear Out. [ARTICLE]

Raub Shut Clear Out.

For the third time this year our ball team trailed the banner of the Raub team in the dust, and like Friday’s game, the superior all around work of our team, made them easy winners. Our team had little respect yesterday for Hoag the Momence pitcher, who on Wednesday shut Sheldon out, and held them down to 2 hits. After the third infiing Friday, our boys connected with his drops and shoots whenever hits were needed. On the other hand Raub was entirely at the mercy of Bowen, whose terrific speed had most of them entirley scared out, “Dad” struck out 14 men, and only let them have 3 hits, th is is one of the most wonderful records of the season, and is seldom equaled by any pitcher. The support in the field was of gilt-edged order every one played fine ball, and only two errors were made by our boys. The infield were especially fast and their snappy plays were loudly applauded. The feature of the game outside of Bowen’s pitching was the batting and all around playing of Beville, he played the entire game without an error, and handled all of “Dad’s” hot shoots with perfect ease. The score rhe Colts. 0005020 3 0-10 9 2 Raub.O 0000000 0- 038 Michigan City, one of the strongest ameteur teams in the state will be here for two games, Thursday and Friday of next week.
