The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1903-07-27


Hopk insville at Henderson.
Before crowd of three thousand or
more people, the banner attendance of
the X. l. T. league, Paducah fell an
easy victim to Cairo's aggregation Of
sluggers for the second time, yesterday
afternoon at Wallace park by score
OF 10 to 1. The vast throng complete
ly filed the grand stand long before
the game was called, and overlooked
into the bleachers, along the fence
leading to the gate, and finally into
right field, where hot ball would
have played havoc with them.
Cairo had the game won early
which made it almost devoid of inter
est. Best twirled for Paducah and it
became evident soon after the first ball
was pitched that the bunch OF paddle
wielders from the Egyptian City could
bat any man who would throw 'em in
reach. There were two home runs
knocked during the game, one by Wal.
lace, who got two the day before, and
the other by Dummy" Hughes.
Brown, Psducah's new catcher, was
hit in the head by pitched ball and
disabled, and Edmunds, who has been
playing first base, was substituted,
catching a good game during the two
innings he wore the init.
Paducah played fairly well, but
was able to score only once on Brock
ett's puzzles. Once or twice it seemed
the umpire was giving Cairo the best
of it, but he evened things up by 9TH
er decisions. The crowd was orderly
ana seemed to enjoy the game, despite
the uncomfortable positions of many,
hundreds having to stand mp. The
Cairo crowd was on hand several hun
dred strong. and Psducan's rooters
club was there, but there was little
roofing after the first inning or two.
