And Oct What the Postage Stamp Cot
(LICKEDl


Freundlich, Miller and McCartv wer
the only men % the Gilbert team, from
Evansville. who played here on July nj
and got trounced Ia the tune OF n 10 4
who came back here July IA, TO apail
suffer defeat. Law, Woods and Will
Jams, three professional PLAYERS. wert
secured for the occasion. While Fore
man, Taylor and Strobal were pickee
from twenty of the best amateur player
to be found in Evansville.
II was dead easy walk over for the
Red Jackets. Greene toyed with the
aggregation for the first four innings
when the score, as Freundlich ex.
pressed it, stood zone to nary one" in
he Jasper boys favor. Then TO keen
the crowd interested the Evansville 40
regation was permitted to take the lead
up to the ninth inning when the Jasper
boys went to work with the stick and
pounded out the necessary scores to win
the game.
The Evansville club was met at the
depot by the Jasper club, headed by the
Jasper US Band, of "a pieces, and es-
corted to the grounds. Frank Kunkel
at the head OF the procession as the drum
major. The US Band, like our ball
team, il the best in Southern Indiana.
Manager j. 5. Milburn was happy
man at the successful termination OF the
game and deserves credit for his success
In giving our people interesting ball.
Greene's work in the box was superb.
The whole teams work was great. |
Though the fielding errors were costly.
without the errors an Evansville man
would never have crossed the plate.
One Of our professional base ball en- |
thuiasts furnishes the following account
Of the game:
There WAS probably never a game of bali
played on the diamond more exciting than
me one fought out step by step betw cen the
"A the Athletic Park. The Evansville ball
'lub was combination of an ateur experts
all good, and of course. could have beaten
any team from HuntnHburg, the little burr
situated some where south Of Jasper
Williams at third base, Stroebal Mt short
top. Law at first and Wood at second, put
up AS nne AN in Held AS ever seen In Dubois
county. Foreman, their pitcher, pitched
we'll and nelded first class. McCartv their
'steher, played without AN error and coach.
Taylor and freundlich played their posi-.
ions like experts.
But when they undertook to to beat the
Jasper boys they tackled lob of vast pro
'ortions, and in the future all ball PLAYERS
rom Evansville. and the spectators from
iuntingburx. must bear In mind that tn.
aspers have been educated to hang onto M
anne like nine bull dogs until the third

inning, even II the game stands against

Another item To be remembered is that
asper has the best amateur pitcher in
outhern Indiana. and he IL backed .up by n
atchsr, who tho he makes AN error occas
