In game devoid of features and al
most uninteresting, Ridgeway made
here opponents bite the dust Sunday
last, at the Ossian ball park. There
was a good crowd of spectators present
who tried to enliven matters, but the
ball tossers did not respond, and looked
more like scare crows in corn field
on hot summer day. 1t was Ridge
ways game from the start. and al
though they made several attempts to
give il away, they were unsuccessful.
Clermont statred it with a rush in the
LIST, Burke hitting for bags, but the
pace was too fast, and before catching
their breath Anderson had rolled out
to A. Paley and the side had been re-
tired by fast double from casey"
to Mellang. No scores were then made
until the last half of the Sd when
Ridgeway's few. but faithful, rooters
had sufficiently inflated the balloon to
send her up. When the smoke had
cleared away the custodian of scores
announced three hits and a walk
resulting in three scores. In their
halves of the 4th and 5th, Clermont
scored ! and scores respectively,
which was all they asked. Ridge
way took two more in the 9Th, just to
be ahead, which ended the scoring.
The home teams hitting was below
par. but was all that was needed.
Fritz" Paley" delivered the goods. -
but not being in form did not throw
his usual game. Following is the
score by inings:
Clermont ...0 0012 0 0 0 Ga
