1t looked yesterday after the first
inning as if Abilene would be badly
beaten. The visitors scored five
times through gross errors, two of
them being charged against Ash for
dropping easy flies. Augusta was
batted freely in the first but after that
inning pitched puzzling curves that
we're difficult to locate. Switzer, the
brag scissors twirler Of the functions,
was touched up for six hits, home
run and two bagger by McFadden.
The climax Of the game came in
the ninth inning. With score of one
in their favor, Montgomery, juno
tion's catcher, enraged at decision
of the umpire, threw the ball with all
his might over the fence and into a
cornfield, letting in one tally, tying
the score. The captain, Woliver,
promptly took his place, but the
changes necessarily made resulted in
two wild throws to second and third,
Ash scoring on them. The Abilene
team would doubtless have have been
beaten but for the "baby act" Of
Montgomery.
Frank Parent again umpired and
the same tactics were pursued by the
functions as the day before, but to no
purpose. His decisions were uniform
ly fair and met with the appreciation
Of the grand stand.
The score was:

From MONDAYS Daily,


The base ball season closed for Abb
lene in blaze of glory. The third
consecutive game was won from juno.
ton City by clean playing that made
the visitors very, very weary. At
every point they were defeated, and
their list of errors was something
stupendous. There was a good crowd
and Supt. J. H. Nlesley umpired the
contest with satisfaction to all. Boul-
din did the best work he has shown
this season in the pitchers box, while
Price covered himself with honor both
behind the bat and in his base run
ming. Some of the prettiest stealing
of the season was his. McFadden was
also deserving of praise. Sickles got
the last home run of the year and a
pretty bouquet for re ward.
junction was sleepy and slow. It's
errors were numerous, and the players
seemed oblivious to most of the fun
going on by the opponents. Stanley
did poor work and his balls were hit
freely. Montgomery kept his good
nature better than the day previous,
and refrained from throwing the ball
over the fence. In fact, the visitors
played like hired men at the close of
haying season, while Abilene put up
its best playing, as it has always DONE
The score was:

Batteres Abilene, Bouldln and Price;
Junction, Stanley and Montgomery.
Both teams disbanded Saturday
night.
Abllene's ball team has put up during
the season some Of the best playing
in the state. 1t has won from such
teams as Topeka and Atchison where
it was not expected that it could be
done. The team has never shirked
and the managers have insisted on
clean, honorable playing throughout.
Manager Cowles has given a great
deal of time and money to conduct
ing the ball team this summer and it
has been due largely to his efforts
that the sport has been so successful.
He deserves much credit for his
efforts.
The first association came out
about $50 behind. The second one
lost about $3.50. That is better than
any other town in the state has done.
Junction City plays return games

the Abilenes play better ball on their
own grounds than any other place,
and the game put up Yesterday was a
particularly strong one. junction
was out-played at every point and
Stricklett was a terror to the visitors,
giving up only four hits and tanning
five men. Cochran was batted freely,
being touched for ten hits, one OF
which was rome run by McFadden,
two base hits by Sickel, Dunn and
Price and a three-bagger by Dunn,
1t looked as if it would be a shut-out,
in the 9th an error by Strickett gave
first base and a score was made by
Millers two-bagger. After that
junction earned only goose eggs.
Frank Parent umpired the game
and in his just decisions the junction
team sadly missed their Musick' In
the fourth inning the visitors, seeing
they were being so badly beaten
tried to intimidate the umpire,
thinking he was only a boy, but it
didn't work. 1t was awful hard for
junction to receive only what she
was fairly entitled to.
Price caught good ball and if he
can hold up Yesterdays record, no
errors being charged against him,
Abilene will win the next two games.
OF Abilene's six errors two were
made each by Augusta and Dunn and
one each by Wakefield and Stricklett.
Stricklett scored on single base
hit, knocking hot grounder which

The Kansas City Blues were de-
feated Wednesday by the Columbus
team, the score being 5 to H. The
Star says: with one or two ex-
ception they played like crowd of
corner lot amateurs both in the field
and at the bat. Sam Reust, the Abb
lene south paddle twirler, was an
easy mark for Columbus batsmen.
They registered nineteen safe hits off
him. He pitched fairly good game
up to the sixth inning, but lost heart
and after that he was batted hard,
eleven of the nineteen hits coming in
the last three innings. Pitcher
Reust was sent to his home in Abb
lene and yesterday was probably his
last chance to appear in fast COM
pany.' The only mistake Relrst
made was in leaving the Abilenes
which can and always could defeat the
Kansas City aggregation.
