Game at Springfield a Farce. In a onesided farcial nightmare 5' previously advertised as a ball game the Springfield baseball team had a great track day last Thursday over there, and ran until their tongues hung out, toying with some wrouldbe ball players supposed to be representing the Bamberg club. Instead of saving some of their energy for the next day when they sorely needed it the Springfield lads ran right on evidently tiring themselves out and came out with 13 tallies to 3 for the aforesaid crowd said to be representing Bamberg, but who at times appeared to be playing for Springfield. The game was not to /t count but was merely an exhibition, not an exhibition of baseball playing, but rather an exhibition of how a ! , few Bamberg fans could humor a y good joke while Springfield looked on in disgust, and be it said that they were altogether justified in do-* v ing so. It was just a case where Bamberg had promised to return them this game and at the last minute it was learned that a number of our boys could not go, so rather than disappoint them a patched up team had to be taken ov?r. But the Springfield people were also disgusted the next day in Bamberg for another reason*. The score' of that game tells the tale. Bamberg's two most valuable men out of the line-up Thursday were Captain Charlie Rentz at second and . our star catcher, "Bub" Cooner. Practically every position on the team save short stop and third base was handled at various times < / by as many as three different men, v, and if anybody desired a box score , of the so-called game the same wrould ] be well nigh impossible to formulate. < The Springfield players enjoyed J some good practice and laughed it j off good naturedly as good sports j I letting Bamberg put men in and out : of the game whenever they pleased ' ^ just as if there were no rules against ! it, and finally the climax to the ; ? ? JLt Ai.1. ( comeay came m me ?ui mumg wxieu . 1 ^ several Bamberg boys batted out of ' their times at bat and actually ( [ scored a run. Pollock, pitching for 1 I Springfield, didn't seem to have so ' much stuff on the ball, but if somebody had run a Ford across the base that day our bunch couldn't have hit it, so he got away nicely until the 8th round when Otto Large drove one at him that went like a German y * "Whiz Bang" and injured his hand so that he wras forced to retire. The injury was regretted and it is hoped that Pollock will be back in the game shortly. Captain Boland then came in from second base and took up the burden of heaving them for V* ' his home team. Purcell, of Ehrhardt, Weeks and McGhee Bamberg lobbed them over for Bamberg.
