Took Short End of a Seven to
One Score at Cambridge
City, Sunday.
BEST CONTEST OF SEASON.
FAULTLESS FIELDING GAME
AND WERE SUCCESSFUL IN BAT
TING STUNT.

|
crack Glenwoods have arrived. They
have since departed for their habita-
ton in Rush county. They came to
do up the Wayne county amateur
champions and were treated to cour-
teous. but decisive defeat at the hands
of the Grays, at l.. f. & w. park yes
terday When they turned their faces
and started. toward home they carried
back with them, the tail end of I to
2 score. The Glenwoods came herald
ed as a fast bunch of tossers who had
yet to stare defeat in the face, and as
much has been said of the prowess OF
the Grays, it behooved the latter to sus-
tain their record by handing it, to the
Rush county champions. Now. after
the smoke and roar of the battle is
DER and the home team has come forth
with colors flying, still in a position to
claim the amateur championship, the
citizens of this burg are wild with de-
| light Never has there been so much
enthusiasm here over the national
game as there is at present. AS re-
suit a new park will be opened next
Sunday and from now on better and
stronger teams will be taken on.
Yesterdays game was the best game
of the season. The Grays. aside from
one dropped throw by Burk, put up a
faultIess fielding game and went some
also with the big stick" pounding
| out total of II hits. The Glenwoods
are the best looking aggregation of
lads seen here this season and the
sports were not eager to bank much
money on their pets. Some OF the
Glenwood boys are splendid stickers,
but Germany" Shiverdecker practic
ally had them at his mercy. holding
| them to six hits. However when the
Glenwood stickers did hit they pound
ed out two baggers as the score will
show, getting three doubles during the
game. Pitcher j. Cregor showed up
strong until the fourth inning. when
he began to get WOODY No doubt
he would have caused the Grays much
trouble had it not been for a collision
''butted in in the third while Cregor
was taking a popup off "Dubby"
Pauls bat The game little fellow held
on to the catch and then rolled over
on the ground in agony. He showed
his mettle by sticking to the game, but
after the accident he did not show up
as we'll and the Grays got ten safe ones
off him during the four remaining in
nings in which he pitched. Combs, of
the Glenwoods. is natty ball player,
and put up nice game at the initial
bag for his team and Billiard at short
is the best seen here this season, I'M
less it be Toad Kelly of the O. & Bs.
He has a good wing and whipped 'em
over to first in fine style
The feature of the game was the SUI
perb twirling of the popular German
lad from Bradford. SILVER pitched
his best game since joining the Grays.
Not man was passed to first through
out the entire game and he did not hit
a batsman. Both boxmen had splen-
did control. Hickman's first base
play, as usual. was bang up and
Percy, the Cop was there too, not
making one slip at third. Dishman,
behind the bat, had some little trouble
holding the German boys slants, but
at that he caught a nice game.
''Dishy'S" position is in the infield. He
is too valuable an infielder to be used
any place else and should be played
regularly at either short or second, and
a new catcher secured to work behind
the bat Paul. of New Lisbon, would
fill the bill nicely.
Although the Grays are deserving of
much praise for their work, it is sim
gular1y noticeable that they do not at
tempt any of the inside work which is
necessary to the makeup of first class
team. and until this sort of play is in
stilled into the members of the team,
they cannot be considered a real sure
enough ball team. They are much
elated over their success and are begin
ming to cast sheep eyes in the direc-
tion of Jessup's Quakers. The Krell-
French team and other salaried clubs
But until they learn and practice the
fine points of the game. it will be use
less for them to attempt to go against
a fast team.
