The Wauconda High school team and the Cadets of Chicago met in what proved a one-side game of baseball at Turnbull’s park Tuesday afternoon. The Cadets were not in the race after two or three innings, being unable to hit Segar to any extent. On the other hand, the locals straightened Foley’s twists in good shape. After the first innings the fielding of the Cadets was very poor, while the town boys improved as the game progressed. The game was featured by the fine work of the High school boys, both in the field and at bat, and the fine pitching by Segar, who retired several batters on strikes, and the excellent throwing of Parkins, who threw out several runners who were trying to pilfer the second bag. The only redeeming feature for the Cadets was the great “rooting” of “Panama,” who saved them from a shut-out. The score was 15 to 4 in favor of the Waucondas.
