WMt-TM - AMP SPRINGFIELD vs. CONCORDIA The scene for the next game was laid at the local Athletic Park. The opposition was Concordia Seminary, Springfield, 111. The Seminarians came to Milwaukee with the record of an undefeated team, having vanquished St. Louis Sem, River Forest and other teams of high standing. All they lacked was Milwaukee Concordia ' s scalp on on their victory belt to make their championship tour a howling success. Our team played an almost impregnable defense with Bachert, our young slab artist, pitching excellent ball the full route, allowing but seven hits. The score was a 2 — 2 tie up till the sixth inning when Milwaukee added another tally. Under cheers from the stands the Cream City Nine held on to the lead with dogged persistency. Victory was in sight when — horrors, the tide turned. In the ninth after Bachert had already benched two batsmen and the third eating out of his hand this latter slugger lifted the ball over the left field fence for a circuit smash bringing in two runs for victory. The score stood 4 — 3 in the Sem ' s favor. Both teams played a flashy game, displaying that kind of sportsmanship which turns enemies into friends and links friends still closer to each other. ALUMNI vs. CONCORDIA The brief season ' s final tilt saw our team arrayed against the Alumni. After two successive defeats Shorty ' s men took the field rather glumly. The mighty slug- ging of the graduates and the professional twirling of Harvey Winkel, coupled with a few costly errors on the collegians ' part spelled defeat for the third time. Score 12 — 3. Although the record shows forth three losses and only one ict()ry, we feel that considering the caliber of the teams we played, it is a record of which we can boastfully say: It is my Alma Mater ' s.
