Cambridge City, Ind, Sept. q
Fully 500 of the faithful were out in
force yesterday afternoon at Capito-
Hill park and saw one of the most
weird and ragged contests of the sea-
son, the Grays being defeated by the
Bentonville aggregation by a score of
Is to s.
The bright particular stellate of the
base ball armament around Capitol
Hill park yesterday was 'Yoaky" Sc
bring, who fielded his position at sec
ond for the Grays in manner which
deserves recognition. Sebring in the
fifth made the circuit of the bags like
a quarter horse, after putting the bail
on a line fly into the orchard in left
for home run. The Grays presented
a new and augmented line up for the
occasion. "Catty" Paul was behind
the bat and caught mis- usual fine
game. Dishman guarded third and
put a creditable game. Fred Murley
replaced "Dubby" Paul in right and
Vanderback was back again at short
Hickman, who has played practically
ali season without error, went all to
pieces, piling up four bad ones. He
dropped easy throws at first and wob-
bled on a punk grounder that any
school boy might have taken in with
ease. He redeemed himself at the
bat for his triple in the seventh ses-
sion scored three runs and later
counted himself.
SILVER was hit hard and Murley re-
placed the Bradford boy in the fifth.
He also was touched up freely.
Big Tick" Conner the Dublin twir-
Ter, fresh from an excursion in the
10. (bush) league was in the box for
the visitors. The score shows he was
touched up for ten hits, but the big
fellow evidently did not exert himself
to his greatest capacity, seeing that
the Caldwell team was batting at a
fierce clip and that he would likely
be called upon to pitch again Monday.

Caldwell is fine little backstop but
he is light and this did not give Con-
ner much chance to use his speed.
The Bentonville lads put up a very
good game with the exception of Will

the right time to allow runs to be

played with the crack Connersville
team at one time. He was there with
the goods and used his bat to the ex-
| tent of three bingles. But the star
of the Caldwell bunch was Rea at
short. He handled all but one of his
eight chances in fine style.

ter but he deprived "Sharky' Cald-
well of a nice hit back of first in the
fourth by calling it foul.

to be charged up against Pitcher Con.
