Lakeland BOT in Game and a New
Man in Reynolds Place, as the
Regular Short Stop Could Not
be Hsre Played Again
Thursday Afternoon.

The Athletics defeated the Moberly
Signals, Wednesday afternoon, at
Chautauqua Park, ten to six. The
game was unsatisfactory and dragged
throughout at times positively becom-
ing q bore. Both teams are capable Of
playing better ball than they put uE
yesterday but whether it was an OF
day or what was the trouble cannot be
aScertained.
Moberly started the game by captuF-
ing two runs In the first inning and
then the locals got busy shortly after.
ward. There were numerous errors
which were unfortunate considering
the large crowd and the disappoint-
ment they felt in seeing the home
team play so poorly though they won.
Lakeland was not behind the bat
and though Clemens and Wnlingham
did their best they I'LL their regular
positions better and in those places
would have strengthened the team.
Why Lakeland was absent is not
known though II was reported on the

SECOND GAME.
Moberly won a poorly played game,
replete with dumb plays and failures
on the part OF Mexico to hit the bal
at the right time. So at the end Of
the contest the score stood seven to
four with the balance on the wrong
side for Mexico.
Mooerly started well with one run
on a base on balls, a sacrifice, an error
and a long fly. From then on the
game was uninteresting as everybody
on each team seemed to be dead,
though Mexico far excelled Moberly in
this.
In the second Moberly got a run of
two three baggerS, that, but for the
bad bounds they took, would only have
gone for singles. Thomas who pitched
did pretty fair work.
