The Idlewilds, of Chicago, returned to Waukesha for a series of games during fair week. The first game was played yesterday afternoon and resulted in a victory for Waukesha. It took ten innings to decide it, however. The score was tied in the seventh, standing 6 to 6. It was again tied in the ninth, standing 7 to 7. In the tenth Waukesha began her work. Hartshorn led off with a hit, Carman sacrificed him to second, Phillips lined at a two-bagger and Cahill brought him home with a hit. The score was now 9 to 7. The Idlewilds started their half of the inning as though they would tie the score again, but brilliant fielding by Cahill, Phillips and Hartshorn put a stop to their aspirations, and Waukesha won in the tenth. Wigginton pitched for Waukesha and Van Nortwick for Chicago.
