TWO GAMES FOR S0Y.
Jasper Team Wins Much Glory but
no Coin IN Street Fair Games.

NOlU III skICSt t-dtH 0uuuSSs
The Springfield Tegardens, really
fast baseball team, ran against large.
jagged snag 10 each Of their two games
with the Redsox last Thursday aud
were compelled to be content with nine
goose-eggs in each contest, losing tho
the first game to o and the second 2
to O.
The first game was won by the Sox
chiefly because the youths from Spring
field were unable to hit Mitchell 10
the pinches and because Davy Phillips,
" no pitched for the Tegardens, insisted
on walkink about every third batter.
Springfield got bits to Jasper's 4, but
whenever Springfield uniform got on
the bases Mitchell pu, the lid on the
base hit box and there was nothing do
ing. Witness the fourth inning when,
after hit had put Moist on first and
MitchelI's error Of judgment put both
Moist and Walters safe. the lanky
twirler promptly struck out Phillips
and Rice aud forced Ryan to pop up a
measly Offering 10 Yes Wolf. That's
getting out Of hole, as the ancients
would say.
Jasper didn't need to hit, for EVERY
time hit vas needed Phillips relieved
them OF the necessity by his wild pitch.
ipg. Every run made was dire city or in-
directly by base on balls.
Both teams fielded finely, the infields
having q monopoly on the chancs.
Ensinger caught every would.be base
thief by mile, and soon had the run.
pers hugging the sacks.
Mitchell got two nice hits that help
ed in the scoring.
SECOND GAME
fridays game was the most remark.
able pitchers battle ever eeen here,
and was further remarkable in
that the Sox won without registering .
safe hit OF Of the mysterious delivery of
the human tooth pick, Mr.. Woods, late
of the Western Association, who was 10
the box for the Tegardens. Beltz, for
Jasper, held Springfield to one hit and
only one runner reached second base,
and died there. The Sox tielded per-
fectly throughout and circus catches
were go numerous that they became
common. Mitchell, 10 right field Car.
ried off the fielding honors by lodging
around the foul flag and spesring with
one hand q long foul hit. The tall
youth had to take of his hat to the
crowd for this catch.
Had Springfield fielded as cleanly as
the Sox the game would be going yet,
for Woods Was positively not allowing
any Of those things called base hits.
But In the fourth he helped lose his
own game by SHINING heinousIy on
Griffths, easy bounder, which went safe.
He then walked Wolf and Craw ford hit
to Rice, who threw home, whittier no
runner was bound, filing the bases.
Then Mitchell hit q hot one to this same
Rice, who once again hove the pill
homeward, but his heave was wild and
two rups came over. This was the
game won and lost.
Crawford had q sore thumb, but
caught Beltz 10 great shape and got
every bssethief.
Burkett, Rsthburn, McComb and
Wolf were an invincible infield az usual.
The games Saturday and Sunday
were called of on account of the bad
weather, but as expenses kept right on
the Sox lost about $500 on the games.
As there are only few more games to
be played the fans should turn out in
force to help fill up the hole.
PROSPERITY COMING.
The Prosperity team, which finished
second In the Interstate league, will
play here Saturday and Sunday. Pros
perity is 80 sure that they can take
Jaspsr's measure that they have asked
for side bet by the two teams on the
games. or course this was not taken,
but the Prosperity fans will doubtless
find plenty Of sports here TO cover their
money.
