Game With QuakerS Today.
SCORE WAS 5 TO 3

Paramount won the ball game yesterday
from the Southwest Kansas College of
Winfield on their diamond at Paramount
by a score of ) TO g. A high wind prevail
ed during the entire game and made sure
playing almost impossible. With the ex-
ception of some costly errors the Winfield
boys played the fast ball for which they
are noted, but the less number of errors
on the Paramount side of the score book
and the steady work of their pill artist,
F'rantz, combined TO win the game for the
boys from the hill.
Houston, who twirled the sphere for the
visitors, played a cool hard game. but
owing TO his poor support in the first
inning and again in the eighth. was COM
PEELED to allow the winning runs to be
chalked up. Winfield had seven errors
marked up to her discredit as against five
to their opponents. The condition of the
ground was in measure responsible for
these as 1t was wet in places and the
hooks of the players refused to be loosen
ed in time for them TO connect with the
horsehide.
In the first inning the Winfield boys
could not steady down in time 10 prevent
the HllliteS from chasing two men around
the track. Cole made a first on an error
by Morgan, Davis swung the stick few
times ana then started to chase Cole in
home. Clancy made a sacrifice and Cole
and Davis pretty near ran over each other
getting home. The Methodists could get
nothing but a goose egg in their half of
the inning and promptly handed it back to
the Fairmounts in the next.
They Fingered up and landed a man at
first on an error then got him home on
sacrifice by Severance That ended the
scoring until the seventh when Frantz
let Houston walk. That delighted him so
much that he pranced on around the
diamond and made the second score for
men while Winfield was playing toss-up
with the ball and that made five runs on
the home side of the book
Pierson for the Methodists stung FrantZ
for a two-bagger, but the fan and the
popup that followed put him in shape that
he could do no good with it. In the ninth
Morgan lined out lone single but the
rest failed to back him up with the stick
a.d he was compelled to go way back and
sit down. This ended the game and Win
field had to leave the field with the first
defeat of two years trailing behind them
They are fast team, but the weather
yesterday was such that the boys could !
not timber up in the usual shape. Hous- /
ton pitched most of the time in his heavy !
sweater. His style on the diamond is
pleasing and his delivery is clean. He
has speed and knows how to use ii.
Frantz pitched his usual cool game and |
deserved better support than he received. /
The team as a whole played clean hard |
game, but once in a while an error would /
come.
