The Meade InvincfbIes Get q Roast
From HuSofon.

Woodmen day, which was cele-
brated ON last Friday was well at
tended. Many people from adjoin-
ing counties as well as those from
our own were in attendance. An
enjoyable time it was with only one
drawback. 1t had been expected
the Meade base ball club would be
present and game between that
club and the Hercules of this place
was the attraction which brought
many people here. But the Irwin
cibles failed to show up. Our club
was wired Thursday and told they
would be here without fail. After
preparations had been made to de-
fray their expenses and entertain
them they flunked and that without
word of explanation. Their fail
ure to keep their word will need
much explanation before they will
stand as high in the estimation of
our people as formerly. Aside from
the failure of these men to put in an
appearance, everything went off
pleasantly. A nice game was play
ed between the Liberal club and the
Hercules, resulting in victory for
the Hercules. The Liberal team is
composed of gentlemen who keep
their word and it is a pleasure to
play with them.-Hugoton Hermes.
We regret that the Hugoton people
were disappointed in the boys not
coming, but hardly think their fail
ure to be present should bring forth
such a childish wall as the above.
The Hugoton baseball boys are all
gentlemen and are so regarded by
our boys, but do you think for a
moment that if they were billed for
a game of ball here, and could not
possibly come, as was the case with
our boys, that we would publish
such an article as the above2 Not
much. In the first place our people
would not have any such opinion of
them, and the baseball boys would
just assume that it was utterly i'm
possible or otherwise they would
have been present. Now, brother,
just place yourself in our position
and ask yourself candidly and with
out prejudice, whether you would
like for US to publish such an article
about your ball nine, if under the
same circumstances they were pre-
vented from from filling their en-
gagement. We believe in treating
other people as we would like to be
treated ourselves.

Base Ball Game.

The Ashland base ball nine came
rather unexpectedly last Saturday
and game was played in the after
noon Immediately after their arrival
which almost resulted in a shut-out
for Ashland, the score being 10 to I
in favor of Meade. The following
is the result by innings:
Meade $40 oI3 o 80
Ashland 90 o o ooI o O. I
Batteries: For Meade, Elliott and
Cooper; Ashland, Abel and Hoover,
Struck out by Elliott, 10; Abel S.
Umpire, Harley Butler.
Immediately after the first game
the boys played second game that
resulted in Waterloo forthe Meade
nine by score of S to 6. In the
first inning our boys made a scores
and it looked very much as though
they were going to have another
walk away. The Ashland boys then
realized that they had to do some
playing so they got down to work
and by shutting the Meade boys out
had evened up with them by the
sixth inning. Then came the battle
to decide who would win out. In
the seventh the Ashland boys made
scores, were shut out in the eighth
and in this inning our boys made I,
making the score 6 to S, the Meade
boys were shut out in the ninth.
The score was as follows:
Meade 4 o I O. S
Ashland OF ooI2 o = {
The batteries were the same as in
the first game. Elliot struck our
S; Abel none.
The game was much more inter.
esting than the first one, although
there were a number of errors or
both sides.
The Ashland nine is composed oi
the following gentlemen.
c. Wallingford, Bob Mayse,
George Taylor, Sam Wallingford
George Hoover, OFT Hamilton,
c. E. Abel, John Brown.
c. Mcfarland.
They are fine lot of boys anc
our boys did their best to entertain
them. Our boys will probably g
to Ashland to play a return gam'
the latter part of the month.
