HASBEENS NOT IN IT.
the Younger Contingent Put Them
on the Shelf.

The baseball team which has been
dubbed ''Never-Wases" showed the
fans how very enormously they were
named, when Friday afternoon on
the South Third street diamond they
defeated the Has-Beens by a score of
IL to =. The Never-Wases played
what we call star ball. The basemen
were fast and did everything that
was expected of them, and that was
a good deal; their pitcher was good,
their catcher was good, and the field
ers supported the battery and infield
to perfection.
Some of the above can be, applied
to the Has-Beens. These veterans
did some good hitting, and made
three fast double plays. They are
not as fleet of foot as the Never
Vases, and made some errors. but
they have not forgotten how to play
che game. They were simply out
classed. They hit the ball for long
drives, but usually some of the Never
Vases were there when the ball came
down, so those long swats counted
for nothing in the final score.
For the Nevertheless, Ford hit to
left field for two bases, and came
home when Vogt hit to short where
the ball was booted. Vogt proceeded
to pilfer the second sack which he
did with grace and ease. Bullock
then hit liner to Anderson on Sec
ond, VINO pulled it in and doubled
Vogt at that station. Harris made
first on Chambers error, and worked
his way round to third, and then
scored on an error by first base.
When the Has-Beens came to bat,
Chambers hit a high one back of
third base which Harris pulled in
after long run. Bishop famed and
Cron went out ON a pop-up to third.
The Nevertheless failed to score in
the second session, their side being
retired in one, two, three order. Not
so with the Has-Beens. Camp, G.
was given a base on balls, went to
third on j. Camps line drive to CEN
ter, and scored when Anderson hit to
right field.
Ford, Vogt and Bullock added three
more TALES to the score of the Never
Vases in the third inning; Morris one
in the fourth; Harris one in the fifth;
Pelot, Ford and Vogt three in the
sixth; Cole still another in the
seventh; and Ford and Harris two
more in the eighth-total, Is. :,
In the fourth scene, for the Has
Beens, G. Camp was retired from
short to first. J. Camp then hit
another drive to center, but was
caught trying to steal second. Gerig
went to first over the ''big four''
route, reached second on Anderson's
hit to right field, and crossed the
plate when Duval hit long one over
the center fielder's head. In the
eighth inning c. Camp, j. Camp and
Gerig occupied the bases for the Has
Beens with no one out, and it looked
at if they would score again. Ander-
son then hit 60 Vogt, who doubled
Gerig at first, and Duval went out
from pitcher to first.
Clark pitched pretty game and
had almost perfect support. Duval
was not up to his usual high standard,
and his support was not the best.
