The Home Team Wins ;
Listless Game.
ASHLAND TEE VICTIM
Pitcher Shultz Meets with a Serious
Accident-The shenandoahites Resort to
Terrific Pounding in the First and Ninth
Inning-The visitors Were PIucky.

The attendance to witness the Shenan-
doah, Ashland game at the Trotting park
yesterday was not near as large as at either
of the preceding games and it is well it
was not, for their would have been danger
of turning the tide of the home clubs
popularity. The game was a very listless
one and neither side played with the vim
ana activity which makes the sport
| popular in this region. 1t is said that all
| ball players have their off days and it
must be true. About seventeen of the
nineteen players who went upon the dia-
mond yesterday were considerably "of"
and the game was practically a test to
see which side could hit the ball the
hardest and score the greatest number
of runs.
In the first inning the home team had a
picnic. Twelve men went to the plate
before the side was retired and a three
bagger three two base hits, single and
| three errors eliminated in eight runs
| This should have been enough to dis
| courage the most sanguine of the visitors,
but when their time. to go to the plate
arrived every one of them walked up
smilingly and before the side was retired
| they scored three runs.
In the second inning an accident turned
| the tide in Ashland's favor and the home
team had all it could do to keep the
visitors from taking a decided lead. A
ball driven with terrific force by Bancroft
struck Pitcher ShultZ above the right
eye. Many expected to see the player fall
| mortally injured, but to the great surprise
| of all he remained upon his feet and
placed both hands over the injured part
| He then turned and walked towards third
base, and when reeling was caught by
| some of the players. He was bathed with
water and after having the injury
bandaged was driven home. 1t was sup
posed from the appearance of the wound
| that the skull had been fractured, but
| subsequent investigation showed that the
| injury was not that bad.
Toman succeeded Shultz and the visitors
| batted him freely, taking the lead in the
fifth inning by making the score IL to IL
| in their favor.
In the sixth inning fortune again
| favored the home team. Musser and
Mulderig got their bases on balls and Toole
surprised the crowd by bringing them in
with home run.
Neither side scored in the seventh or
eighth innings, but in the ninth inning
the home team resOrted to terrific slug
glng and placed victory beyond the reach
of the visitors. Such pounding was never
before seen on the grounds and it looked
as if the Shenandoahites had been playing
with Pitcher Jones for the preceding in
nlngs and wanted to show ~ easy they
could drop on his delivery. Toman
opened the ball with a single. Reilly
followed with home run, Setley added a
two bagger, Gibson made single, Musser
followed with a two bagger and Mulderig
with hit Toole didn't get chance to
hit the ball because the ball hit him and
he took his base. Henry then added an
other two-bagger and after two men had
been retired another hit was added, max
ing seven solid hits before the side was
retired and eight more runs were added
to the Shenandoah score.
But the Ashlanders again went to the
plate smiling. Nothing could drive hope
from them, but they were powerless.
Walters went out on fly to Gibson and
Griffith few out to Musser. Bancroft
.ent up high fly TO short and Setley,
feeling that he had sure thing, tried to
make one of his quaint back catches, but
failed and Bancroft got the base on the
error. Before the next batter got
chance at the bat, however, Bancroft was
thrown out by Reilly when trying to
steal second and the game ended with the
following score:
