The ball game played here Saturday between Chicago Reds and the Americans was not so much of a walk-away as the Reds expected it would be, as the Americans played a much better game than they did at Barrington the day before. The score was 5 to 3 in favor of the Reds. The attendance was not so large as was expected, but those present saw the game of the season.
Last Sunday the Terrible Kelsey of Wauconda came down to Zurich with his team of colts and several bus loads of rooters to fairly wipe the earth with the Americans. They had ball players from half the townships in the county and a crack pitcher from the Chicago Edison team, but the Americans were too strong for them and did them up to the tune of 21 to 6. Next Sunday the Americans will play the Dundees. The Dundees are a strong team this year and have played the Americans one game this season.
