Fifteen Inning Game at Bloom
ingdale, Friday, Results in
Score of 3 to |.
GOOSE EGG FOR LAWRENCE
In an Exciting Game at Lawrence
on Tuesday, the Paw Paw
Team is Victorious.

Those whose privilege it was to attend
the ball game at Bloomingdale last Fri
day, witnessed one of the finest exhibi-
tions of ball playing ever seen on any
diamond. Bloomingdale has always been
one of the hardest propositions that Paw
Paw ever tackled, and this game was no
exception to the rule. The struggle
lasted for ID long innings, and there was
something doing every minute.
Both sides drew a goose egg in the
first inning. Bloomingdale crossed the
plate in the second and Paw Paw evened
up the score in the third. From that
time not a score was made until the first
half of the fifteenth, when with one out
Snow connected safely for a single,
Decker swiped the ball into the swamp
and when it was returned to the diamond
Snow had crossed the plate and Decker
rested on third. Owing to ground
rule, however, by which hits into the
swamp were good for only two bases,
Decker was sent back to second and
Snow to third. Then on a squeeze
play" Chaffee laid beautiful bunt down
the first base line and Snow came in; on
a poor throw to the plate Decker also
crossed the rubber. The next man was
an easy out Bloomiugdale fans then
went wild in the hopes that they could
tie the score in their half of the inning.
But the Paw Paw boys were there with
the goods, and it was one, two, three
aud the game was won. 1t would be
difficult for one to pick out the star
players as the game was marked by
sharp fielding and sensational playing on
both sides. 1t was hard game to lose
but it was won fairly aud not a kick was
card.
Summary: Base hits-Paw Paw 8,
Bloomingdale 8; Base on balls-off
Speaker 3, off Rippey /. Two base hits
Decker. Struck out-by Speaker 7, by
Rippey g. Left on bases-Paw Paw 9,
Bloomingdale II. Final score-Paw Paw
3, Bloomingdale 2. Batteries-Paw Paw,
Speaker and Chatfee; Bloomingdale, Rip
pey and Spade.

PAW PAW AND LAWRENCE, TUESDAY
The team went to Lawrence, Tuesday,
to play the third game of the series with

an exciting one from start to finish. and
not until the ninth inning could either
team get a man across the plate. 1t was
pitchers battle between Reynolds for
Paw Paw and Hyames for Lawrence
with honors in favor of Reynolds. Three
times during the game Lawrence had
runner on third and the fans went wild
with excitement, only to have their
hopes blasted by strike-out or sensa-
tional fielding
Paw Paw went to bat in the ninth with
a determination to do something The
first man up was out Folsom reached
first on hit aud was advanced to second
by Reynolds; Ted Soules then swiped a
Texas Lacquer" over second and the
winning run was IN. Lawrence was un-
able to connect in their half of the ninth
and the game was won. 1t was cork
ing good game and should insure a good
crowd when Lawrence comes for the
next game Tuesday
Summary: Hits-Lawrence 4, Paw
Paw 6. Strike outs-by Reynolds 4, by
Hyames 4. Errors-Lawrence 2, Paw
