Rockford Club Edges Freeport In Bad Day Matchup
The Rockford and Freeport baseball clubs played at Taylor's park for about 175 spectators. The Rockford nine led 17 to 1 after six innings but the game ended amid disputes over betting. Umpire Taunders from Rockford supervised as Ward Wis Dick pitched poorly and Young errantly played shortstop, with several players benched. A purse of 50 dollars might spark a rematch next week if the Driving Association funds it.
