hurled the horsehide Goehnerward.

game of the season was on.
The Visitors Very Mediocre.
There was not much to the game
owing to the fact that the All-Kentuci-
ians played like a collection of wood
en- men. Brooks was in the box for
the enemy and he pitched most err
ratio game, allowing nine hits, issuing
six passes and striking out nine men.
Some of his untamed ones put dents in
the hides of our athletes. Gloss at
third for the Colonies, was a frost. He
gave the best imitation of a sieve ever
seen on a local lot. With this kind of
a defense offered by the Kentucks, the
hitting of the locals and the masterful
ball pitched by Rodenbach, there was
absolutely nothing to it. After the
fifth inning the crowd found its only
amusement specializing on how large
a score the locals would roll up.

cameron's Clever Trick.
Runs for the locals began to trickle
in in the second inning. There were
five trickles. Errors on the part of
the Kentucks and single by Mr.. j.
Cameron, our first sack custodian and
former demon halfhack of the Marion
polo team, scored four runs. Jimmy
then worked a slick trick. He led
off from first and while the blue grass
first and second basemen were en-
gagged in game of tag with James,
Ritter scanpered over the plate.
James then allowed himself to be put
out, ending the inning.
In the fourth inning the locals ac
curuulated three more runs. After
two were out there was a melee of
swats. errors and free transportation
issued by MIR. Brooks. Goehner took
first by beating an infield hit. Ritter,
our midget center fielder known as the
Human Rabbit, hit dinky Texas leagu-
err which he streached into two bases
by a slide which took a chunk out of
the infield. Cameron walked, and
there were three on bases, Schattel
running for Goehner. Plummer, the
big right fielder then came to bat with

rafting yet erratic game at short
