Paducah managed to close the inning,
but failed to make a score in the last
half and quit defeated, after having
put up one of the hottest games ever
seen in Pafucah.
The game was called at $3.50 by Um-
pire Albert Winfrey and both teams
went in for victory from the start.
There was small stten dance on 40.
count of the threatening weather but
the teams played hard aud all left sat
isfed with the sport. The official
score shows but few errors and few
hits and both pitchers did excellent
work. The lineup was as follows:
Paducah-Lloyd, right field; Plum
lee, center field; Kenna, left field /;
Murray, third base; Sexton, second
base; Clifford, short stop ;Simcox, first
base; Perry. catcher; Mackie, pitcher
Henderson-Copeland, left field
Warner, catcher; Ogden, right field ;
Percival, center field Richards, third
base; Blumrich, first base Haas, sec
ond base Parkins, pitcher; Grotty,
short stop.
The Paducah boys were changed up.
Simcox played faultless game at first
and Perry caught an excellent game,
Mackie did good work at the slab
Mackie struck out eight men and gave
two bases on balls while Parkins
strucg out seven men and gave two
bases on balls. Hits were made for
Paducah by Murray. one; Sexton two,
and Simcox one. For Henderson
Plumrich, one, ;Grotty, one, and Cope.
land one.
| Three hits were secured of Mackie
and four of Parkins, the left handed
twirler. Errors were made by Plum
lee, one; Kenna, one; Murray, one,
and Sexton one. Errors for Hender-
son by Haas, one and Grotty one. Pa
ducah filled second and third base
with two men once during one inning
in the youth of the game, but Plumlee
failing to hit, retired the side and this
was the only chance Paducah had Of
getting score during the game. Ken
ma batted badly aud also did Plumleo.
There was little batting done on either
side, all hits being we'll tielded.
The second of the series of three
games will be played and a large
attendance will doubtless be out to
witness the sport. Cotton, the new
second basemsn, was given a trial,
but no decision has been made as to
whether or not he will be kept.
The association has telegraphed to
Pittsburg for a new man who will
probably be here within the week
The tip that a shakeup is brewing in
the team mas been confirmed and Pa
ducah will have winning tie am or
quit the business, this has been as
sured.
Winiroy did excellent umpiriug.
There was some little kicking at first
on the part Of the Henderson boys but
Paducsh came in later for her share
OF the bad decisions.
Sexton handled several clippers with
great skill and simoox on first could
not have been beaten.
The Henderson boys have no two
suits alike. They have been dubbed
"odd socks" mick -nacks" and many
other ludrircous names
The members of the Baseball assooi-
alton were well pleased with yester-
days game, although the home boys
lost. The game was interesting from
start to finish and some big league"
playing was witnessed.
