While it was a Bbut out for Volga City, it was an exhibition of the national game not often seen in interior cities of Iowa.oridofly)leit-tstorg\ercriatit-nfcm.toae-tesofIt will be recalled that Volga City and Oelwein have been playing some fast games this season, and at the West Union fair Oelwein defeated Volga in a fourteen inning game by a score of six to five. But nine innings were enough Thursday afternoon to end the game .with a Bcoro of 5 to 0 for Oelwein. ilt was a string of goose eggs for VoJga all right.Volga City didn’t get a man to third base in but one inning, the sixth, and then with three men on bases the Oelwein battery put the following hatters out of business in one. two, three order without the bat of an eye. It was simply a slaughter of the innocents. Mattison, of Elkader. umpired the game to the general satisfaction of all, aod there were few kicks.;hem-iantobhoty,i uclThe Volga lads had strengthened their team bv annexing foreign talent. Radahangh and Brown, of the Cedar Rapids Three-Eye League, constituting their battery, while Oelwein had Foster and Booker, the colored giants, to manipulate the hall around the home plate. It was “around” all right, for Rube Foster simply twisted the ball just as it pleased him. and Booker caught without an error. The Volga battery also did a fine stunt.IBFoster and Booker were Bimply “phenoms,” and kept the Volga lads guessing right aloDg. Foster has the ability to place a ball just where he wants to, and it doesn’t take him a half hour to do it. The Volga boys would fan the atmosphere in a muscular manner in an endeavor to connect with the sphere, frequently after the ball was in Booker's mit.in 1neewastnraj;theses-OELWEINRHEofHolmes* 3b221praDorman* ss120legO'Brien, lb0211Foster, p120Jn'Booker, o010vo1Trotter, 2b000BenoeU. rf0I0Kint, If0001McLain, c£110fai-—•—ofTotalVOLGA CITY5112stx 1 boBurns, cf01o1inPreuss, 2b001lyBrown, c000clDye. lb000deE.
