Little Eddie Hare was made famous
in the fourth inning by stabbing a
fly in deep right field, and the crowd
went mad with enthusiasm as they
cheered old Grand Ridge -On to vic
tory. The smallest man on the
team made the most sensational
catch that has ever been shown to
any one on the Sneads team, although
such catches are plentiful among
Grand Ridge players.
Dan McCrainie was new man in
center field, and did very we'll con

President Upton handled every

responsible position.
If a premium had been offered to
the most chronic kicker We will say
that il would be between two Sneads
men. We viii not call any names
or allude to them in any way. but one

was on third.

BALL CAME At
GRAND RIDGE
Sneads and Grand Ridge
Cross Bats and Latter
Wins by 9 to 6.
Special to The Journal.

Grand Ridge, March 9.-In a rather
one-sided affair of base ball last Fri
day evening" Grand Ridge met Sneads
on the Sneads diamond and as usual
administered a dose of fatal defeat
by the score of 8 to 6, and il was
done so nicely. so neatly, and the
strong aggregation of Sneads bit the
dust, and famed the air in an I'M
ceremOniouS way, resembling chop
ping wood" more than batting at q
ball.
DekIe, the great pitcher was on the
slab for Grand Ridge, and never was
there any chance against him in
which he was in doubt of his game,
as ne had the batters of the opposing
team completely at his mercy, and
had the number of strike-outs been
kept the number would have been
terrible to the eyes of the Sneads ag-
gregation- Dekle was looked upon
not as a good pitcher only, but when
a batter faced him he knew his chance
to get to first on d safe hit was al
most a thing of impOsSibility. and
there wasn't safe scratch of hit
chaIked up against him. Those ter
rible in-shoots were puzZling indeed,
as they threatened several times to
shave several of their whiskerS off
their faces.
Bradley on first played an eXcep-
tional game as this was the first
time that he has been placed on the
initial bag, and he was good also
with the willow when it came to a
pinch.
Shelter covered second in his usual
good way, and was there with the
goods at all times.
Johnny McCraine on third base
made things sensational in the way
of catching high flies and putting
men out after they had tried to steal
the home base. He killed several Of
them in this act, and not many more
will try this ON Johnny.
