Paducah lost her second game since
the league opened yesterday afternoon
at GAINESVILLE, being shut out by the
Tennessee boys by a score of to o.
There were several hundred people to
see the game, and the GAINESVILLE boys
made their scores, two in the second.
one in the third and one in the fourth
inning. The pitching and hitting Of
Collins, the GAINESVILLE pitcher, were
the features of the game.
The result of the game yesterday
was not surprise here, as GAINESVILLE
was said to have threatened to get
them an umpire" when Paducah play
ed there. The home team hit poorly,
while the Clarksville boys found Nor
gan easily, making eleven hits. The
fielding of Paducah was excellent,
however, as only four scores were
made and less errors. Hedges is slated
for the slab today and Clifford will
use the big mitt.
Archie Becker, the Evansville third
baseman, and Bob Fuller Of Louis
Vile. another bsseman, are both at
Clarksville on trial. Becker arrived
yesterday from Evansville on the boat
and left at 2:15 for GAINESVILLE to
meet the boys. Fuller is supposed to
have gone down from Louisville. All
Paducah needs now, when her few
disabled men are well, is thirc base
man.
The absence Of the encouraging To-
cal rooters, who so badly ratified Louis
Of the jackson team, was perhaps
big factor in the losing of yesterdays
game. The rooters have formed
strong club and bunch their roots"
as the batters bunch their hits.
Perry's hand is better, but he will
not be able to go behind the bat for
several days.
Limbert's thumb is still in bad con-
djtion, but he still hangs to the ball
and is making Q reputation.
An appropriate name for the Padu-
cab team Is the Indians. They
will be proud warriors of "Old Pa
duke" before the season is over, and
we will be proud of them.
