TWO INNINGS IN
A SEA OF MUD
Van Vert Fandom and 10
Teams Defied Weather
Man Thursday.
MUNCIE GAME IN DOUBT.
ATHLETIC PARK is A SEA OF
MUD AND GAME MAY NOT BE
POSSIBLE-MASON FINED BY
NATIONAL COMMISSION.
10y Tort)

van Vert fandom, after having two
opening games postponed, arose in it's
might yesterday and defied the eX-
tremely damp weather merchant. The
honk, honk wagons were assembled,
and in drizzle the Richmond and Van
Vert teams were escorted to the park,
where big crowd of half drowned, but
eager fanatics, roared with delight
when the mayor strobe through the sea
of mud. made neat little opening ad
dress and then pitched the ball across
the plate.
After two rounds of desperate fight
ing against the weather merchant and
J. Bluvius, the two teams gave up the
contest, which resulted in a draw, ) to
g.. Brown started in to twirl for Rich
mond. He found it impossible to con
troll the mud-caked ball and before the
close of the round five Buckeyes had
scampered over the plate. In the sec
ond round Richmond began to get busy
and tied up the score. 1t was then de-
cided to call the farcial game.
Richmond is billed to open the local
traction, but it is extremely doubtful
if the game will be called owing to the
fact that Athletic park is a sea Of mud.
1t will take lots of hot sunshine to
make the diamond at Athletic park fit
to play on.
1t was learned today that Neil Ma
son, one of the local twirlers, has been
hut vol ice n
for failure to report to the Kewanee.
H., club of the Central Association.
Mason accepted terms with that club
this year. but when he received an of
fer from the Richmond club he decid-
ed that he would report here. The In
diana Ohio league is still an "outlaw'
organization, Notwithstanding the fact
that the league constitution provides
that the league shall be under national
protection and a class d organization.
AS long as the league remains outlaw"
Mason can remain with the locals. but
should the league go under protection
1t will be necessary for him to report
to the keWanee club. Van Vert is
harboring one outlaw player, Manager
Louie Hunt who is the property of the
Sharon, o. p. league club. and Hunting
ton is harboring one outlaw player
Pitcher PrOugh, who is the property of
one of the clubs in the Iowa State
league. Even though several valuable
players would be lost by the league be,
coming affiliated with organized base
ball, this step should be taken, and
without further loss of time.

l. Coroner Doten of Bridgeport held an inquest at the Brick building, Monday morning, to enquire into the death of Perry Smith, who died a week or more after being struck by his brother-in- law. Clarence Nichols. The latter was arrested and taken to the Bridgeport jail. Dr Kiernan took the stand and testified that he and Dr Brown per formed an autopsy on the body of the late Perry Smith. He thought it doubt full if the blow.had anything to do with the mans death. William Nichols tes- tifed that Perry Smith came to his house on March 22. That. Perry Smith s wife told her husband that Clarence was out in the shed. "Tll attend to him." said Perry. and he started for the shed. Perry picked up an axe helve and started for Clarence Nichols. The latter seized Smiths arm that held the stick and with the free hand struck him between the eyes. Smith fell backward on to bench. He got up and went into the house and told his wife he was not hurt. "That fight is nothing." said Smith, "Pll have it out again with him." He testified that Smith split wood for several for the neighbors on the following days. An drew Stephen Nichols testified practi- cally the same as his brother. Sheriff Johnson took the stand and gave testi- mony in regard to a conversation he had with Mrs Smith. AS the coroner did not find cause for a verdict for manslaughter, Nichols was ordered re- leased. ..
