Flanagan Baseball 01

Waupaca Record

August 6, 1908

Sheriff Ed Flanagan was in Calumet Harbor last week Wednesday as pitcher for the ball team of the Oshkosh Knights of Columbus against the Fond du Lac team. He may wear the uniform of the Oshkosh league team next season if he does not sign with the Philadelphia American league team. He had a provisional contract with Philadelphia this year but his duties as sheriff of the county prevented him from going.

Flanagan, the Waupaca twirler, had the Stevens Pointers at his mercy in the game played at the Grand View Base Ball Park on Sunday Aug. 2. He allowed but two hits, and struck out twelve men. Carl Anderson, our catcher, played exceedingly well throughout the game, hardly improvement could have been possible. He caught all but one man while trying to steal bases. The one disinteresting feature of the game, was the playing of Carl Cook on first base, but he cannot be condemned simply on this one offense because he is not used to playing this position. Waupaca has a number of good games scheduled and if Waupaca continues to play the same as Sunday last, they should have the entire support of the citizens of Waupaca. We hope for the time which we will be able to have many fines games here, but this cannot be attained without support.
