Two
Baseball Games
The

here Friday with Oakland, which they won by a score of 6 to 1, and
one Saturday in Shenandoah, when they defeated the boys of that
city’s high school by a score of 2 to 1. The crowd here was not
large, but the game was a good one. Olson, who pitched for Red Oak,
allowed but three hits, while the home boys got to the Oakland
pitcher for nine safe ones. Olson also had 12 strike-outs to his
credit. The score by innings was as follows
