Deafening and continued noise.) r.
S.-New Castle papers please copy.
The game Sunday, which Mr.. Weaver
broke up by a mighty swat over the
right field ramparts, was humdinger
in every respect Two tight wad
pitchers officiated, Mr.. Cole for Rich
mond and Mr. Boyd for Bluffton, and
hits were scarcer than ice in Panama
in fact all the biffs the stingy Mr.. Boyd
allowed us were three, but they all
came in one inning, the sixth. and we
won the game with them, earning both
our two runs. King Cole was not fad
ed in the slightest by the work of his
south paved opponent. His majesty
was in great form and he held the
Dregs to five hits and one run. His
support worked with the lid Of the pep
box off, consequently our guests had
about as much of a show of winning as
a republican in Texas.
Pinch Hitters Missing.
The first five innings Bluffton had
eight men left on bases, but the nee
essary pinch hitters to bring in the
runs, were on a vacation and the I'M
fortunate base runners were starved to
death on the bags. In the same first
five innings Richmond was unable TO
penetrate through the Bluffton defense
any further than second base. In the
sixth came the glorious rally in which
the expatriated Henry county warriors
occupied the limelight with King Cole,
who headed the rally to win his own
game. 1he King was the first man
up and he made the first hit of the
game by a single to right. t. Ritter
then sacrificed him by a beautiful
bunt Cap Jessup skied to center;
then came the redoubtable Mr.. Weaver
with blood in his eye. The first ball
pitched to him hit him in the claw.
This peeved Mr.. Weaver and some
more blood came to his eye. The next
ball offered to Buck was met square in
the baziz with his club. The ball scared
gracefully to right field, and Mr.. Part
low in that garden, headed for the
effort for the Spalding
cleared the ramparts by good ten feet
and dropped into the buffalo grass.
Mr.. Cole shot over the pan, while Buck
leisurely Hoped around the bags and
went to the bench amid the roars of
the delighted fans. A New Castle del
egation in the first base bleachers
threw fit after fit-also their hats
which the kind hearted Mr.. Jessup col
lected and returned to them. Henry
county is there with the goods. More
of the big noise.) After Buck had
smashed this homer Carlin came to bat
and on the first pitched ball, smashed
a triple to left. The stands after this
swat had been made looked like the
hopeless ward IN a bug works. Hicks
made bid to bring Tommy in, but
Guhl made a pretty capture of the fly.
Bluffton made a game effort to win out
in the ninth. A base on balls and a
hit netting on run. After this came in
Mr.. Cole and associates frightened up
and nipped the Button effort in the
bud. Score:
