League l'layem Wort of Lot.
The ball game at Ellis Park last
Saturday between the Grattan and
Rockford teams wassorely disappoint
ing to the audience who went there in
anticipation of witnessing a close con
test. Their disappointment however
was not more grievous than that of
the Rockford boys themselves, as they
supposed they had fixed things in such
a way that victory would perch upon
their banners with little effort, even
the Gr.attan loys were sorry for them.
Roth teams strengthened up or sup
posed they did by hiring league play
ers, three from Grand Rapids were
with Rockford and two from Green
ville assisted Grattan with Chapman
of this city as catcher, more skill and
better playing was exhibited on the
part of their own members than by
the foreign aggregation.
Rockford kicked on the first umpire
Alva Pringle and George Stout was
substituted but this change didn't
help them a little bit as Grattan kept
right on running in scores.
Score in and 4.
