Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 91, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 August 1909 — Pleasant Ridge Defeats Possum Run 17 to 6. [ARTICLE]

Pleasant Ridge Defeats Possum Run 17 to 6.

The Pleasant Ridge Reds took a very quiet fall out with the Editor’s team of Possum Run on the Run grounds Sunday by the score of 17 to 6. The game started out to be as hot as the day, but the heavy guns and loaded bats the Reds carry broke up the game in the fourth inning. The editor with his measley five was nowhere to be found and so the- Reds only came home with the game. The boys are playing good ball, having won ten games and not lost any. The second team also won Sunday from the Sod Busters, from west of Rensselaer, by the score of 14 to 8. Hurry-up Elkins played a wonderful game and with a little more practice will make a hard man to get away from. The boys also are out for more games.
