Cambridge City, Ind, Sept. 10
Messrs Weaver, CarI!n, Ritter Fisher
and Conner. late of the Richmond
team. fell upon Mr.. Fleming, also late

at the Cambridge City ball park and

game A piece of thunder exploded,
the sky went in mourning and the
heavens began to weep in the seventh
stanza, after Mr.. Ritter had retired
single handed the .Weaver-Carlin-Rit-
-Fisher-C Conner team, which repre-
sented Dublin. OF course there were
tour understudies to the ex-Quakers
while surrounding Mr.. Fleming were

The seventh the game was put on the
hummer and we led a wild retreat
In the direction of the Carnival CITY.
The sheriff and about one hundred
md fifty Cambridge base ball fanatics
followed in our wake. In the ruck
came the base ball players clad In
yaried colored diamond costumes.
Cambridge City fans could give the
local bugs lessons on roofing. En-
.husiastic praise was showered upon
Mr.. Fleming and associates while the
Ricbmondized Dublin outfit were the

state at present writing but the
grounds can be made into good dla-

Fisher as Catcher.
The feature of the contest was the
catching of Mr.. T. Fisher, demon third
Dagger, pitcher and outfielder OF the !
Richmond team. Local fans have new
er seen Fisher play the backstop po-
sition. Ali of them ought to. Tacks

claw, crouches under the bat. calls
the umpire a robber and his battery
partner "the best pitcher in the lea
que He takes everything that
comes to him and when any daring
base runner gets frivolous on the bags
Tacks cuts loose with a southpaw
heave that goes as true to its mark
as a rifle ball. Another feature was
the gorgeous makeup of Right Fielder
Butler of the Dublin team. Mr. But
Ter wore costume the color of n Col

ed everything on the field but Mr..
Butler Some of the spectators seing
him standing in right garden in bold
relief against this cloud thought there
was a barn on fire. Mr.. Butler only
made one error-he had only one
chance.
Story of the Game.
In the kickoff Dublin counted twice.
Caldwell got to base on choice,
Weaver walked and then Carlin hit to
the orchard, demolishing eight apples.
I'm the fourth Groves for Dublin led
off with a hit Fisher breezed then
Smith hit to short. Murley's assist
TO Hickman at first was maitreated
by the latter and Groves romped all
the way home. In the fifth Ritter
led off with a single and Weaver
scored him on three Dagger TO left
center. The ball V,opped rolling be-
cause it became, jntangled with a
barbed wire fence. Mr.. Weaver tried
10 steal home but was foled Fleming
scored the only run for Cambridge.
Conner walked him, then he stole sec
,nd. advanced to third on an out and
came home on Shiverdecker's single.
Of all the amateur players that infest-
ed the lot yesterday afternoon Cald-

man. looked the best. He played a
pretty fielding game, getting mixed
