Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1908-07-05

DutcH 1elSIeIOfU, the HldH Wuo wrote the book on sauerkraut, and that twirling. youthful looking demon of the box, Fay, .shot off the fire works most successfully yesterday at Forest Park and when the noise of their explosions subsided and the smoke cleared away, the Pine Bluff ball tossels. under the leadership of Harry Nckens and Oscar Weich, were found shot full of holes" with their bat bags and sweaters on their arms, making for the street cars to avoid hearing further comment.
 The Hot Springs aggregation simply carried away the American eagle, the red. white and blue and even the screams of the bird of liberty. To be plain, Hot Springs won both games. H@e morning game went to the vis- ato1s to the tune of to 4, after Beavers men had practically wrap. ped 1t up and put it under their arms. The, afternoon game was a much bet ter exhibition of baseball. It re- suited in the score of to 0, with the nothing" to the Pine Knots credit.
 = g1e morning game was attended by big crowd, much larger crowd than was expected. But the after noon game was a record breaker for attendance. The bleachers, grand stand and part of the diamond was literally covered with enthused fans and to add to the excitement there were "honking' autos, buggies and every other imaginable vehicle on hand, all we'll laden with baseball fanatics.
 There is but one story to tell about the morning game. Pine Bluff started Out to win and had the game won, af ter securing three runs in tie first inning, but Frank Taylor, Harry Clay ton and Nickens turned the tide when they made errors that were costly. Taylor dropped fly in left garden, after hard run, and Clayton and Nlckens put up an exhibition of town lot ball when they permitted a pop up fly to get away from them in the infield at a critical moment.
 Failure of the home lads to swat the ball at Opportune times in the second game brought about defeat. Fay is not reputed to be such a won- der. The Pine Bluflians ought to have been able to knock the cover off the ball yesterday, but it looked as if they just couldn't connect and that has been sa dfailing of the local play CTS all season. It would be better to weaken the team in fielding way and have more errors than to have a team full of men who seem to bat only oc- casionally when they get on bat ting streak" Hits make runs and runs win games. Errors are costly, but they are often overcome by deter mined batting and many games are won in this way.
 But that's neither here nor there. Pine Bluff lost both games. The fans deserved to see a victory yesterday afternoon, if not yesterday morning. The afternoon game was almost free from sensational plays and was rather tame, compared with the game of Fri day afternoon.
 During the afternoon Mayor w. l.. ! Toney made spech in the grand stand, calling on the fans to donate liberally to retain the team here, as he intimated that the clubs finances were not very promising at this time Hats were passed around and about $75 was donated in small sums by the fans. It is estimated that there were about fifteen hundred paid admis- i sions yesterday at the gate, not in cluding the money taken at the grand stand. The weather was ideal and 1 the attendance was most encouraging for the association The score:
 First Game.
