Talk about your old ball game,
there was one at Union park yes
terday, that was a bali game in every
respect. The Fairmont Babies were
the opponents for the Drummers, and
let it be said right now that Their
are lots better than they have been
at any other time this year. AT
least, that's the way 1t looks TO a
man up tree. What was the score?
Now you have heard that. 1t was
one big 20" for the Bodies and one
mighty big 81" for the Drummers.
That one looked big because it was
so hard to get. Just the same as
the score at Fairmont Saturday only
this time the Drummers got the big
end of 1t.
After the umpire had announced
the. batteries, Clarksburg fans were
happy, for Johnny Lower went out to
toe the slab for the Drummers, and
Hunt, an unknown quantity, was

The crowd was there. 1t is not

were badly mistaken.
me hrSt time the game looked
dangerous IN a way, was in the sec

the Babies. Parker led of with hit

was master OF the situation and he

LEFT ON SECOND.
The Drummers might have scored
IN the fourth, but the little bingle SO
necessary IN cases Ike this, was not
forthcoming and the runner remain
ca on second. Johnny Dawson
walked and was sacrificed to second
by Clark, but Conoway flied to

was over Tor the time thereof
ASalh IN the sixth the Drummers
mad chance to score but as before,
lust so now. that hit was not there.
Perhaps due to the efforts of one
hunt, VINO was dlshing them up for
the Babies Lower led OFF with a
single TO right and went to second
when Cy laid the ball down, and
When Johnny tapped TO Fisher,
Lower went on to third but Clark
flew TO keener and there was ''notin'

the grandstand
HOT INNING.
The Babies were never in danger
after the second inning until that
eighth inning came to view and it
might almost be called the fatal in
ming, but as there were no fatal in
nings for the Drummers yesterday.
that wouldn't be fair. Lefty" Core
led off with single to right and
when King attempted to advance
Lefty Johnny Lower heaved the
ball TO Drumm, who muffed the
throw, and both men were safe and
there was nobody out of sight. Jack
ley hit to NcAvoy, who forced King
at second, but Core was on third
and Jackley on first and the Mighty
heener was to bat. 1t was surely a
trying position Tor Lower and many
in the srandstand were much more
scared than lD1nUV for II cnpp
