GAINESVILLE have been transferred I
Paducah. The transfers are cause

l ducah Aug. 1920,
When two clubs get up early an,
make a hard hot ride over dust
road the result is seen in game full
of frazzlngs.
Maybe Alice thinks Happy" Gran
gle has grown into a regular "tigh
wad' since he has become SO stingy
with his passes to the initial sack
It's all in the company. Alice, This
and nothing more. There's quite d
difference between pennant winners
and cellar champions
The Champions will please remem.
! Der that their next proposition is q
hard one. Henderson so far has won
majority of the games played
| against Cairo, and ii would be well to
play hard ball against the Blue Birds
as they are at present putting up the
real article. Not quite so many trips
to Evansville, perhaps would help
some. Have the friends come down to
Henderson.
A Cairo fan. who has the real stuff
says he will wager 81 600 or $4,000
that the Cairo team as at present con
stituted. can beat any team in tho
Kitty league two games out of three
on any neutral ground at the close of
the season. He further will permit
the one who accepts the offer 10 pick
his men from any team in the league
outside of Cairo. The sporting editor
of The Bulletin would like TO hear
from any one inclined TO take chance
at this proposal and the two parties
will be brought together so the diff |
ference Of opinion can be settled.
BY not giving a base on balls in |
eighteen innings Clayton il is believ, |
ed has established a worlds record /
SO far as can be learned today this
record has never been equalled. Win
cennes Capital
1t is certainly record. Brockett
also established one last season by
)nly giving 81 first base presentations
N 25 games. BY the way, Crangle Is
)nly giving one. two and three bases
IN balls since he joined the Cairo
cam and none Of them at critical
POINTS He pitches now for control
md not for strike outs,
The recent many straight wins by
he Champions and the same kind of
lsses by the Padook-y Cigar Signs,
estroys all chances Of nip and tuck
ght for the pennant like two tom \
ats tied up by the tails and tossed
yer a clothes line. clawing snarling
nd biting at each other OF course
afro fans would rather have it just
5 il is and the greater the lead their
els take the greater grows their Ella
on. You see it gives them a chance a
D crow louder over the Pa-dook-y fans
nd loom up like lightning bug in
swarm Of Texas mosquitoes.
The Cairo Bulletin classes Harley
nd Hughes as the two best first base
en in the league The former can
Dt hold a candle to Wilkinson and
re latter never has had and never
i'll have the head WIKI has. At the
ose of the season Wilkinson will /,
ad both Hughes and Harley in field
6 and batting. The Bulletin will
ndly watch this prediction.-Vin.
nnes Capital
The Bulletin for the benefit of the
ipital will, having access to the rec
ds, say that Dummy Hughes is re.
lining his batting eye of last season
hen he was a terror to every pitcher
the league finishing with an aver.
e of AIS and is climbing while
WIZ is dropping fast, so fast in. ri
ed that if he keeps il up to the end r,
the season, he will not even be in
e 800 class. He is unquestionably se
good heady man. capable. honest nj
d a hard worker and we will see
" the prediction pans out.
