at Kent week ago. The Kcnts were

captain, the mighty Spade, the agile
Denning, and the promising young
catcher, Gnnss, and all the other
stars tasted the bitterness of defeat
at the hands of the fast boys who
wear the blue.
II was ball game worth going
miles TO see, and everybody left the
grounds In good humor and feeling
that the great unbeatables are no
more and that the hoodoo that has
followed Akron teams in Kent is
broken up. The credit for the nice
victory belongs TO the team as
whole, although Buck Washers
pitching was the great stumbling block

Dennings' one hand catch of Criles'
fly in the Sth. Brewster led at the
bat. He took kindly to Spades bend
ers. and got double that hit the left
field fence a foot from the top and
two singles. His base running was
also a feature of the game.
Kirkwood started the trouble in
the first. Brewster led off with q
fine single. Grille was hit by the ball.
Cross hit for base and Brewster
came home. Howland smashed sim
gle to center, and Cross, who had
stolen second, CAME home. Rowland
easily stole second and went to third,
while Powley, was going out at first.
Price got four bad ones and stole,
while Howland scampered home with
the fourth run, as Ganss' throw was
way off the mark to catch Price.
Washer famed and Sharpless few to
Bailey.
Spade got his bearings after that,
and they could do no more business
until the 5th, when Washers single
got past J. Denning and allowed Buck
to take second. Sharpless scored him
with a nice single, but was left.
They got three more in the 7th.
Smith dropped Brewster's easy fly.
He went TO second on wild pitch and
scored with Grille, who had landed
on second through n base and steal,
as Cross got his second single to
right. Howland neatly sacrificed
Cross to second, and he scored on
Powley's single. Brewster hit the
fence with beautiful two bagger in
the Sth. but two men were out and
he was left. These proved enough,
as the Kents were helpless before
Washer, and could not connect with
any regularity.
They got run in the second on
Hunts base on balls, passed ball,
and Baiey's bad bounder, which got
away from Brewster.
Their second came In the 9th, when
j. Dennlng got . life on Brewster's
slow throw. Ganss' single put him
on second, and on Criles' attempt to
catch him mapping Howland booted
the ball to center field and Denning
scored. They looked bit dangerous
in the Sth and scored three. e. Den
ming got t., ,e ticket to first, Stev-
ems flew TO III. Hland, and j. Denning
got n single, and then Ganss sneaked
one over POwley's head in left for
three bases, sending both Dennings
home. Grille caught Ganss off third

been an easy out, but Price in re-

NOTES OF THE GAME.
The grounds were In fine condition.
Washer had speed to burn.
Grille made good behind the bat.
Not man attempted to steal on him.
The Akron crowd, with one of two
unimportant exceptions, rooted hard
for the Kirkwoods.
Price could have easily caught
Ganss at the plate In the Sth II he
had stepped off the line before throw
ing to Grille. The ball hit the big
catcher In tho back.
The Kirkwoods carried quite a
handicap In Bucks five bases on balls
and four errors In the field, but they
were overlooked when they gots hits
with men on bases
All the Kents' 10 assists were made
by Stevens and n. Denning.
The crowds should tax the limit of
the stands when they hook up again.
The Kents played clean, fast
game, and their good work was lib
orally epplauded by the crowd. Ganss'
throwing arm was not in the best of
order, He probably needs practice.

KENT'S CONSOLATION.
Kent is just naturally base ball
town. Although the official Kent
team was defeated Saturday. The
Kents No. defeated an Akron team,
the Buckeyes at Kent by score of
9-6.
MR.. KELLEY CHAMPION.
The Portage Golf clubs champion,
II. E. Andrews, drive as he would, use
all manner of strategy though he did,
went out to defeat in his match
with J. w. Kelley, Saturday. Mr..
Kelley won by two up, his score, of

Mr.. Kelley for another match next
Saturday and the gentlemen will
again demonstrate their prowess at
golf.
SIMMS AS A BALL PLAYER.
Art Smms is varying his training
with break into another field Of
athletics. In letter to the Democrat
which was received Saturday, Art
tells in an interesting way of his life
at Stratford. The fever the fighters
have been subject to with regard to
the wrestling game has not struck
Simms with any extraordinary force.
While, as he says he found it the
fashion to get into some other branch
of sports, the wrestling game did not
appeal to him, and he has taken up
baseball instead. Although Art had
played no ball for more than two
years, he began practice with the
Stratford team, and was so success.
full in his practice that he has Sc
cured position with the team, for
as long time as he remains in the
town.
Silnms Is a second baseman, and
will give local guardians of that
bag hustle for their positions when
he comes back.
Bert Dorman, who guided Simms'
destinies when he was In England,
before, Is making an effort to match
Art with some of the English fight
ers. If the effort is successful Art
will go across the pond and try his
luck again. Dorman's challenges
are directed toward Jabez White and
Jack principally. English fight
ers continue to fight shy Of go with
Art, and the probabilities are that
he will be unable to get any satisfac,
ton from the English pugs. The
Akron man Is feeling fine, and will
give Young Corbett the fight of his
life.
JOB FOR POTTS.
Pitcher Potts, of the Kent team, has
signed with the Dayton team of the
Interstate League and will finish the
season with the Dayton aggregation.
Potts work In Akron was not of a
nature to cause local fans to wild with
enthusiasm over his ability as pitch
er. Perhaps his Akron pitching was
done on an off day, however for the
management of the Dayton team is ac-
credited with a large supply of the
