Quite an interesting base ball game took place Saturday at Bang’s ball park between the Wauconda Juniors and the Palatine High school, the lalter winning by a score of 8 to 1. The Palatines got a good lead in the first innings, but after that the Juniors settled down and allowed only three runs during the remainder of the game. Wauconda’s only run was made by W. Golding, who came in on a single to right. The pitching by W. Golding for Wauconda was a feature. In one innings only three batters faced him and all were struck out. This was the Juniors first game and, considering the size of the opposing players, was very satisfactory. The Juniors challenge all teams in Lake county averaging not over 16 years, to a game or series of games. Address Elmer Duers, Wauconda.
