WEBB Nun BEAT JAspER.
crawfofd's BGhch Loses Game and
Wins One.

= H
The high school base ball team met
it's first defeat OF the year last Friday
at the hands Of the Webb City team, Il,
the prettiest GENE that has been seen
on the local grounds this senson. 1t
was nip and tuck all the way, and the
deciding score was made after two were
out 10 the last halt Of the ninth, when
with a Webb runner on third, Purk-
hiser hit short fly to center which fell
safe, deciding the game, 8 to 4 in favor
Of the visitors.
Jasper got three runs in the first,
but were passed 10 the seventh when a
several uncapny stunts by the Jasper
ipfield, coupled with hit or two, let
two runs dribble over the platter.
Things were again evened up in follow.
ing inning, when Dick Kyle, first up,
hammered the pill to the lumber yard
for four bases. It was a great drive,
the first home run OF the year, but the
hitters following Dick couldn't keep it
up. In the ninth with one down an
error let Webb runner to first; he
stole second, was caught off third by
Crawford's beaut heave, but escaped
being tagged. and scored, as stated, on
Purkhiser's easy effort to center. The
locals were evidently determined that
he should score, for out Of three most
excellent chances to nail him and hold
the score tied they missed all.
Mountjoy, he of basket ball fame, Of
ficiated behind the bat for Webb. He
is corking good catcher, and mas Il
fine whip. Lively, who was captain of
the basket ball bunch that couldn't t get
basket on Jasper last winter, played
left and Purkhiser, whom we also know,
cav orted in the middle potato patch.
Lively made nice spear, OF a long hit
in the seventh that shut off a run. 1t
must have been sweet spear tc Lively.
Purkhiser got the blow that won the
game. 1t must have been a sweet blow
to Purk.
The Webb team is good one, nicely
balanced in fielding, and all hitters.
They won because they outplayed the
locals and for no other reason. Their
career will be watched with interest by
fans here, who are always ready to hand
the palm to good team.
Wagner pitched game that deserv-
ed to win, but the fates decreed other
wise. Crawford caught three or four
runners off bases who escaped because
Of the lack of quick tagging.
Dudenvile's team brought 10 bunch
Of sluggers Saturday and after showing
the high school team their heels for
seven innings fell victims to batting
rally and lost, II to 8.
Webb High beat Carthage High

MAJOR LEAGUE NOTES

Somehow that Boston team of base
ment champions" as they were her
aided, seems to move right along.
Between Hal Chase and Tenney New
York ought to experience some first
base thrills this summer.
Have you noticed how well all the
new pitchers in the two leagues are
working? Can they keep 1t up?
Veteran players OF the St Louis
Browns prophesy that Graham, the
southpaw pitcher secured from Shreve.
port, last year. will be among the lead
ing pitchers at the end of the season.
Detroit is having hard time keep
ing out of last place, but keep your
eyes on them; they will be in the rum
ming in short time.
During the series with the Reds
Wagner played baseball that did not
even come up to the ordinary. Com
pared with the standard set by him
self last season. his play. both in the
field and at bat. was poor.
The Elbert County tribune., 1908-05-14
WAGNER is BETTER OFF
FOR CHANGING HIS MIND
Baseball History Fails to Show Where
Player Ever Showed Oid-Time
Form After Season Off,

II Hans Wagner. the great Plttsburg
shortstop, intended to lay of year
from big league baseball. as he said
all winter and during the spring, his
change of mind was good thing as
baseball fails to show single big
league player who ever quit for one
season and returned in his old-time
form the next spring.
Working in a lumber yard at Vim
cennes. Ind. for $l.50 day. diving
for pearls in the Monon river on Sun
days is n big man who probably
would have been worth $4,000 to-day
had he not become bullheaded and
refused to accept a clubs terms. His
name is Amos Rusie. and not SO
many years ago he was known from
coast to coast as the greatest pitcher
the game ever produced.
Just a few miles below the place
where Rusie is located there works
another big man named Jouett
Meakin. Meakin was Rusie's partner
in the great wind-up of the New
York Giants in 1894. Meakin is now
working in machine shop and play
ing ball on Sundays for two dollars a
game.
Fourteen years ago. when these men
were in their prime, Meakin drew
$4,000 Tor seasons work and Rusie
drew $4,000. They asked for more.
Meakin was on the decline and the
club refused to raise his salary. He
remained out of the game for half a
season and returned. but failed to
show his old-time form and drifted to
the minors.
Rusie held out. All New York
howled against the club refusing to
raise his pay. Rusie was out of the
game two seasons. He then returned.
New York sent him TO Cincinnati and
he failed to show and the once great
pitcher drifted back. The seasons
retirement had ruined him as a
pitcher.
John NJ Ward who quit the Giants
when at his best. is another example.
Would the case of Hans Wagner have
been any different from the cases of
the army of players who have failed
10 show after retiring for season
or so?
