Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 94, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 August 1908 — Got a Trimming at Lowell. [ARTICLE]

Got a Trimming at Lowell.

j TMb ‘ Wrens' hfcye arrived at th* play mighty good bifl at home, but w&iiWS away from their own sand pile they seem to sutler from a bad case of stag* fright and their opponents do ail the business. Thus, they got liffcle out of the contest at Lowell Sunday but experience, and that Is probab# what thfey need a* mdeh as atfythrtfc. They were detail** by ftfae score of IS to 3. But this is quite- an improvement over their defeat at Montieello when they first essayed to leave thetr own rtlitnfrdtid. Montieello got the same number that Lowell did and held our boy* to one lees. And when we got Monty 'over here we took the long end and sent them home with sorrowful countenances. , Lowell is a ball town somewhat. They have been playing semi-pro hag j for some tin* and a practlroaliy alt salaried team. Tint? are ; somewhat faster at the game than the | Wrens, but We expert by another, jyear to have gathered up a battd of I circle artists that wIU malm, other contenders for honors in these parts look down In th* mouth. That’s the t way the managers of th£ losing teams in the big leagues talk and that is the kind of dope we are going to put up for awhile. I We are capable now of doing better than we do and we are getting , better every time we play a game. Oqr record to date is 5 games won ,and 5 lost, which puts us at the top of the second column and gives us jft look ip for * first division finish. The thing to do Is to chfeef up and expect bettor things when mg meet the other fellow the next time. Parcel Is, at short, and Com, at 3d, whre the chief offenders yeator<lay, but others got in the error column and, well, watch for th* announcement for the next game mod help keep on hoping It you are a true believer. Lowell defeated Wheatfleld Saturday by the score of 4 to 3. The Lowell buneh got only 4 hit* oft Anderson, but the north-ebdert mad* a half dozen mlscues. Lowell and jthe Regular* are to play two nsdr* games for the championship of the - northwest section of tin state. It I will easily decide that whichever way It gosa. i 41
