JUNCTION DEFEATED BY THE
HIRED MEN.
Crack Professional Team Could Not
Make Roadway in the First Game
Of the Season One Man Injured.

Junction City's professional team
of base ball players, drawing salaries
amounting to $500 week, opened the
season ina little meeting with Abb
lene. We had no professionals Of
course. Three or four school boys
laid aside their books and some hired
men came in from the harvest field so
as to make game possible and the
professionals were entertained In a
modest sort Of manner that was the
height of civility and good breeding
Mister Reust, for instance, stood in
the pitchers box for Abilene and sent
in a ball that made the professionals
scared. Ten Of them pounded the
air and only six got hits. Wakefield
ornamented first and showed his good
training with the Troy team as he
gathered EN- in with neatness and
dispatch Wagner behind the bat re-
fiected credit on Enterprise and Shaw
was prompt at short. STROLLER and
Price of course covered themselves
with glory and made some magniii-
cent hits. Athey and Ash were in
good trim. The former had one
costly error but made up for 1t after
wards. Giles missed fine right field
catch and gave the visitors two scores
but he redeemed himself later on with
a splendid throw home.
functions phenomenal players fail
ed to astonish though they had the
hearty support Of strong-lunged
rooters. Dummy Taylor as pitcher
struck out only one man, though his
balls were so low that they made
flies a necessity and II Of them from
Abilene bats went straight into the
hands of functions fielders. There
were also some wild throws that help
ed materially in rolling up Abilene's
score.
Junction started with a bunch Of 3
and it looked as though it would take
everything, in the 2nd Abilene made
3 and junction /, followed by 2. The
visitors then quit playing while Abb
lene put up 6 in the 9th to clinch
matters. In this inning Strother
knocked fierce grounder to left and
trying to stop it got the ball
just over thr left eye, knocking him
down and stopping the game for a
while. He was taken to the city and
recovered by evening. He wears a
biz bruise on his forehead as re-
Of the accident.
