May 20, 1899, Appleton Post-Crescent
Menasha fans were crying in their respective beers after this showing. But I just love the language of 1899, referring to the Menasha team as "ball tossers" and remarking that Appleton " gained some good practice." Not the usual sports banter in a sports report we've become accustomed to, which would actually highlight the action. Having the score by innings was nice but a little more info would have been helpful...maybe a traditional box score?
