LONG GAME AT FRANKFORT.
A. B. C.'s Battle for Thirteen Inninqs
In Hard Contest.

Frankfort, Ind, July 20-The hard
est-fought, closest and most sensa-
tional ball game of the season was
played on the local grounds Friday
between the A. B. c. colored team of
indianapolis and the Frankfort team.
The unusual features were so numer-
Gus that the crowd was prepared for
anything. The most remarkable feat
ure was that the colored men could
not get hit off Malicoat until after
one man was down in the eleventh,
and during that time Frankfort had
scored but three hits off Griffin The
game was called at the end of the thir-
teenth on account of darkness without
either side scoring.

ED AT TIMES.
(BY TORT)
RICHMOND 5; VAN VERT 1.

| The big crimp was placed on our
ternoon by the Locals. n. Fleming,
| popular twirlist, was G.. w. T. H.,
which is the abbreviated form for
"crazy with the heat" and he held
the Buckeyes down to three hits, in
cidently whiting seven of them. Two
of these hits combined with an error
came in the second and netted the
only count for the visitors. Van Vert
sprung a southpaw battery on us, but
it didn't make any difference. D..
Bockwitz was the flinging end of this
port-sided battery and he only per-
mitted six hits to be garnered off him,
but these six hits counted for rine
bases and five runs. Three costly
Van Vert errors also counted in the
locals run getting.
Manager Jessup was the human
thirteen-inch gun of the proceedings.
With his sturdy willow the little man.
ager poled out two doubles, each one
of which drove in tally. He also
played a brilliant fielding game. Mr..
Ridgley of Paramount, W. Va, made
his debut at second base. Mr.. Ridg-
ley was chaperoned by n. Fleming,
his old college chum. The young man
looks promising. Ridgley fielded his
position WELL pulling off a sensational
play by capturing liner back OF sec
ond, and got single out of four times
up. Minzler's play was also a feature
of the game.
Bone-Headed Work.
Van Vert got off ever now and then
some bone-headed work but all in all
the game was interesting and well
played. Four of the locals five runs
came in the first. Ritter started the
by receiving hot drop
on his bum pin. Cameron then sac
rificed the rabbit to second. Along
came Jessup and belted the ball over
the center fielder's head for double,
counting Ritter Wiltermood was
passed to first and Jessup pilfered
third. The manager and the boss
slugger then pulled off double steal.
While the Van Vert infield was con-
filming it's efforts to running down
Wiltermood, which they failed to do,
Jessup sneaked out for home. Seeing
the little manager under full steam
for home Kelley hurled the ball TO
but it scared high over MS
head This gave Jessup his run and
a perch on second base.
Ridgley then reached first on Texas
Lacquer, permitted by Alphonse-Gas-
ton tactics on the part of F. Bockwltz
and Mccain. Wiltermood took third
on this single and scored when
Conklin muffed a throw of Hillingers
to catch "Grins" off his bag. Ridgley
scored on Minzler's hard tap to Fol-
ley. who messed the play. This end
ed the pyrotechnics as Cunny breez-
ed and Fisher skied to Mccain.
