The KitnbalI Base Ball Club Wins
First Money at the Plank
inton Tournament.
A base ball tournament under the
auspices of the Aurora County Fair
Association, took place in rlankinton
last week. Three clubs entered, viz:
Grand View, Plankinton and Kim
ball. The prizes offered We're s75,
$50 and s25. Lots were drawn
Thursday, and it was agreed that the
former two clubs were to play Thurs
day and that the Klmballs were to
play the winning club Friday. Thurs
days game resulted in the Plankin-
tons defeating the Grand Views by a
cor of 80 to Is. When the Kim
ball club put in appearance Friday
they were informed that they must
play Grand View-the losing club
the idoa being we suppose to take the
chances of the Grand view club win
ming and thus shut Kimball out IL
tirely from either LIST or End money,
or else for the purpose of keeping the
Kimball club over another day to-
draw a crowd to the grounds. In any
event it was manifestly unjust in the
opinion of all outsiders, including the
Grand View club.
The game between the Grand
Views ard Kimballs was called at
2:3O. The former club had strength
ened their nine by placing Tyler, of
Canton, in as catcher, a player hired
by the Plankinton club to do their
pitching The Kimhall club was
obliged to play four substitutes, but
won the game easily, Notwithstanding
the close score, which stoodSll to 9
in their favor with an inning at the
bat due them. Very little money
changed bands on the result, the
betting being all in favor Of Kimball.
The game was very interesting, and
with hut very few errors. Below is
