Ellis, cf: ). Larsen and B. Houck, rf. In this game Harmony did some heavy batting, securing in all 12 hits, and won the game, score 12 to 1. On Saturday, April 28, the team went to Decorah and met a team representing Decorah High which had, however, three ex-high school players in their line up. Both teams made even hits but Harmony’s were not bunched right and so lost by a score of 4 to 2. A weik later the same team came to play at Wildwood Park. It was Decorah's Waterloo as defeat came to them without Harmony half trying. Score 23 to 0; 21 hits were made by off Decorah’s twirlers. On May 12 at Caledonia came the first defeat by a high school team, in a close game, score 4 to 1. Caledonia High played a splendid game while Harmony had hard luck in missing some plays at critical times. The game was close and contested with great spirit. The return game was played on local grounds. It proved one of the most brilliant high school games ever played here. Caledonia was outplayed in every department and scored only on an infield error. Clever and timely hitting gave Harmony 8 hits, netting 3 runs. The game was played in one hour. Score3 to 1 in favor of Harmony. On Saturday, May 2t th. the high school team went to Spring Grove to play a third game with Caledonia High. That team had not succeeded in wrestling the championship honors from Harmony, but wanted to try to do so. Rain, however, prevented the game, All indications pointed to a result favorable to us, had the game been played. The Moccasin went to press before the last game of the season with Lanesboro High, June 2,on home grounds. The season has been a splendid one in that the Harmony High School Base Ball Team defended its Championship Banner creditably. In all six games were played. In five of them our boys scored 42 times to their opponent’s 12.
