just now; anyway they trimmed the
"Jeffs" to 1, in one of the most bril-
liantly pitched games in Barton this sea-
son. Barton is weak against left handed
pitchers, but the boys found Thomas often
enough to get their three runs, despite
good fielding behind him. Bishop allowed
but four hits, and only for slight errors
would have a record of two hits. Fast
work of the Bartons ana the ina bility of
the ''Jeffs" to hit Bishop should have re-
suited in shut-out for that team. AT the
bat Heath, Shina, Barrows and Berry ex-
celled for Barton and "Jeffs'' catcher for
the visitors. The only approach to a mis-
play was on a ball that took bad bound
on Barrows' throw to second, going past
Heath and Winslow, and giving Jefferson
vile their ouly run. The Jeffersonvilles
put good team in the field and played a
strong game. Take four hits and scatter
them through nine innings, and you won't
find much of a result in the run column.
The hitting of the home team was clean
and timely, and the crowd enjoyed the
fine playing of the Bartons. Berry made
one handed catch of wide throw that
was close to the man coming to first base.
Winslow gave a fine exhibition of out
fielding and was extremely fast, and two
of his plays saved the letting in of runs.
Heath's catch, which stopped the "Jeffs"
rally, was one of the most spectacular seen
on the grounds this season. For brilliant
fielding, Shina, who played third base for
the Bartons, carried off the palm. He is
playing the game of his life, his work on
ground balls being as fast as anything ever
seen, and at the bat he has an eagle eye
Mixing terrific speed with an occasional
slow one, Bishop looked an easy winner
Taking it all in all the Barton team played
ball from start to finish. The score:
