DID EXHIBITION OF THE MA
TIONAL GAME.

Cambridge City, Ind, Aug. 26.-The
Grays yesterday met waterloo at the
hands of the New Madison team, the
Buckeye aggregation taking their meas
ure to the tune of 9 to 3. The attend
ance was not up TO its usual mark, but
those who witnessed the game were re-
paid for their trouble by the best exhi-
bition of ball tossing that has been pre-
scented on the Cambridge City lots this
season. However sad it may be to re-
late the good playing was done by the
visitors. who. despite the fact that they
made four errors. played rosy rings
all around the chesty Grays. Three
of their four hobbies came in bunch
in the first inning when first baseman
Henry overthrow third trying to catch
"Dishy,' allowing him to score on the
play The balance of the game was
then pulled off by the Ohioans COB
bling up every thing which came their
way. Only once did they err after
the first and this was in the seventh
when Roberts dropped Hickman's long
fly in left field and which did not fig
ure in the run getting. They used
their willows with telling effect. in n
word shivering Mr. Shiver's deck as it
were, knocking him out of the box.
In the fourth. owing to fine two
base swat by Orie Sebring the Grays
were able to score two more runs. This
was the only inning in which the Grays
could get to Mr. Boxwell, securing four
of their five hits Murley, first up in
this inning, singled to left. SILVER hit
over second. A wild pitch advanced
them base and "Yoaky's" hit for two
bags to right center put both over the
ran. Stombaugh also singled and stole
second. but was left. After this but
TWO men reached first, Boxwell being
absolutely unhitable during the rest of
the game.
The visitors kept pounding away at
SILVER Not only did they hit him
freely, but they punched their hits so
that they came in at the right time to
make runs In addition to this his
support was poor. There appeared to
be a vacancy around the Gays third
corner. through which the horsehide
simmered ever and anon. No doubt the
fans thought of poor Percy Palmer, the
Grays' discarded third sacker who,
while it must be admitted was erratic
in his fielding, could give the new COM
ers who have tried to fill his shoes Il
few lessons at playing the bag. Mort
Sebring, erstwhile East Atlanta city
Lacquer, who is home on visit. essay
ed to hold down third for Manager
Moore The score tells how he did it.
The only shining light in the Gray's
line up was Ora Sebring. He fielded
his position in nice style and his hit
gave the Grays two of their runs. Hick-
man at first, also put up his usual er-
rorless game.
After the Ohio lads had pounded
His Shivers'' for four hits and three
runs in the eighth, Manager Moore
used his derrick on him and substitute
ed Frank Murley. the Milton boy. Muir
ley put the New Madison players on
the hummer, while he was doing his
stunt in the box. They could do moth
ing with him at all. Murley looks to
be the pick of the box artists now since
Tick Conner has gone. He has the
speed and an excellent variety of twist
ers which he uses in connection with
his noodle.
The New Madison team is certainly a
fine bunch of tossers. Their infield is
veritable stone wall. Roberts at
third, handled everything which came
his way in a manner indicative of a
conner. Hill. their crack pitcher, who
has just returned from the west. put up
a superb game at second and Coblentz
at short, besides handling all of his
chances beautifully. made great stop
of Shiver's hard hit in the eighth.
Coblentz is speedy. He is said to have
made the circuit of the bags in Is sec
onds. Henry. at first. went to the bad
in the first. but after that it would
have required a gattling gun TO have
got the ball through him. Catcher
Clark must be brother of the famous
Clark of the Cleveland American team,
for he is by far the best catcher who
has donned mask on the Cambridge
City grounds. He coached his pitcher
and ate up foul flies like an old hand
at the business. His only weakness
seemed to be in throwing to second.
The disappointment over the loss Of
the game was not very great as the
fans were looking for a strong fight
from the Ohio lads The Grays have
fine record for the season and no
team can win all of its games. anyway:
that is the way most of the loyal root
ers are putting it. Score:
