PARIS GAME.

On last Wednesday about 800 peo-
pie gathered at the Ball Park to wit
ness the game of base ball between the
Mt. Sterling big Birds" and the
would-be champions from Paris, Bour-
bon county, KY. 1t was gala day
for the national sport. Society in all
its beauty and raiment was in attend
ance. The boys, dressed in their new
suits, seemed to realize that the day
was theirs, and so it was. 1t was the
first time the Paris club lowered her
colors here to Burnett's sluggers this
season, but when the defeat came it
was corker. The visitors were not
even good second. Lawrence, one
of Kahoe's best pitchers, started to
pitch the game, but had poor control
and was banged around like shuttle
cock until he was taken out and G
Reamon substituted, who met the
same fate, for the Big Birds batted
'just like the Bostons." They then
put in j. Reamon, who pitched very
good ball considering the way our
boys were batting. 1t seemed that
the visitors couldn't hit the ball with
any effect, their hits being scattered
and weak, and the helplessness of their
position evidently had bad effect
upon the buoyancY of their spirits.
South-paw Daniels tossed the leather
for the locals, and you bet he had his
arm with him. Speed formed part
OF his argument, and curves and con-
troll lent him material aid. His sup
port was perfect. Every member of
the home team playing their star
game, and as Que of the Paris boys
was heard to say, "No club could have
defeated you after the third iuning."
The story of how the game was
lost and won can be told briefly. One
run on the visitors side in the first in
ming gladdened the hearts of the visit
ing ROSTERS. With two men out j.
Reamon smacked the ball for two
bags, and scored on Gibner's corking
two-bagger to right center. Poage
next up retired the visitors by going
out to Crane, thus leaving the visitors
leading by one score. Both clubs
retired in second with goose-eggs, but
in the last half of the third the home
team lii on to the visitors aud batted in
total Of ten runs. Leverone led off
with safe hit to right center and was
forced to second by Mazolla's base on
balls. Crane hit safe and Leverone
crossed home plate-Gntroductory to
the waterloo)-Mazola going to Sc
cond and coming home followed by
Crane on Halls two-bagger. Willie
White didn't care to linger on base in
the hot sun, so he gripped the willow
and sent the leather ball over third for
four bags. This gave the locals the
lead, and before they were retired
they had ten scores to their credit. In
the fifth they made six more, in the
sixth, three, in the seventh, one, and
in the eighth, three, which gave them
a total of % runs, Is out of the num-
Der being earned. The visitors were
given two scores in the eighth on
Browns hit to left, G.. Rsamon's three
Dagger, Shenkle's wild throw TO Crane
of j. Reamon's grounder, and hits by
Gibner and Poage.

years ago and settled ON his ranch on
