The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1886-07-08

IS advertised, the Sunnyside and Shady
glde mines met at tue fair ground on
Thursday afternoon last, and the "Shadys'
we're victorious The "Sunnys" with the
following nine-or ten, as they thought
second catcher necessary-who played in
various positions: Pete Mackellar, Claude
Long, Charley Cole, q. l.. Fitch, Jimmie
Dunning, Bert Cole, Geo. Longwell, AT.
Hayes, Jay Randall, Harry Longwell and
Bob. Chapman, substitute, and the "Shadys''
With Judge Hilton, M. Lang Fred Covert,
John Breck, j. E. Chandler, Will Bryar,
John Wood, Elmer Harwick (Tongs,) John
McGraw and Ed. Gilman.
AZ about two o'clock, the seemingly invin-
oible "Sunnys" headed by Mascot y
Prof. Bakers little boy-each armed with
broom, marched with much assurance to
their sure and easy defeat. On their arrival
at the diamond, they were met by the
"Shsdys" with blood in their eyes and
malice in their hearts.
Promptly at 2:30, the game was called by
4" Dad > Briggs, umpire, with the Sunnys''
at the bat and the Judge in the box, who
pitched one of his unequaled games, hold
ing the +" Sunnys" down to two runs, much
TO harry'S disgust. The "Shadys" then
came to bat, but failed to solve Lawyer
Fitch curves and twists and were retired
with but a single score. After the second
inning, Fitch gave out and Dunning was
placed in the box; Hilton gave way to Breck
one innings later. Early in the game. on
account of -invisble-Mackellar
was succeeded by Chapman, the wild-eyed
NoRrHERNER compositor. We then thought
! the game assured to the "Sunnys," as "ye
editor" of the Courier, one of his compost
tors and two of our own typos were welding
| the willow and doing fine fielding, but we
were doomed to disappointment. Charley
Cole was LAID up for repairs and Geo. Long
well took his place behind the bat but soon
! received foul tip on the end of one of his
fingers and retired from the game. After
some discussion and little vigorous kicking
on the part of the "Shadys," Frank Clancy
was substituted and our hopes again revived
but, alas we hoped in vain the "Sunnvs'
were destined to defeat. In the last half of
the eighth, and the first half of the ninth
each side was retired in one. two. three
order, each scoring goose egg. The last
hall OF the ninth was not played. the official
score standing thirty-eight to twenty-eight
IN favor of the "Shadys," who marched
back TO town carrying the brooms and
Mascot and dragging the Sunny" ban
ner IN the dust. The "Sunnys" have not
been seen since.
The principal features of the game were
errors by all, heavy slugging by many, par
ticJiiaTiy by the Courier man. our liliputian
and Lawyer Fitch daring base running by
Randall, Judge Hilton's puzzling curves and
the mastery manner in which they were
not caught. The "Sunnys'" Mascot re-
marked that they were pretty well done
mp and that while " he lived on the sunny
SIDE his office was on the shady side" We
noticed Justice Richards driving around
town with broom, while, in imitation of
Chicago clackers, Guy Harrison, the cham
pion kicker, was footing tin horn. As this
is understood to be a series of best two in
three there is hope that the "Sunnys,'' if
they ever get back to town and recover their
normal condition, may turn the tide as did
the Detroits when they played their last
series with the Chicagos. In the next game.
the Sunnys propose to have a couple of
good players to whom they are clearly en-
titled, who were barred out OF Thursdays
