Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 103, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 September 1909 — Rensselaer Wrens To Play Brook Wednesday of This Week. [ARTICLE]

Rensselaer Wrens To Play Brook Wednesday of This Week.

Brook is planning quite a time for Wednesday and Thursday of this week. The occasion is a soldiers’ reunion with baseball served on the side. The Wrens are to play Wednesday and Sheldon Thursday. The local team will have Hanks on the slab again and it is probable that Brook will have Whiting. These two had a very nice pitchers’ battle a few Sundays ago, that would have resulted in a fine contest save for some bad errors by both teams. Brook was defeated by the Wrens on May 30 and the Wrens lost to Brook on August 29th. The odd game will be played off Wednesday and no matter how it goes Brook will be here next Sunday. The Wrens need some daily practice for this Job and should try to take a hitch of batting and infield work every afternoon.
