for messenger, she knew that she making
another mistake, mistake greater than the mis-

defeated the Lexington Bluegrass
League team few days ago.

between Paris and Lexington Athletic
Club.
"Big Bill'' Parrish was it. All
through the game he was much in evil
dence and distinguished himself By COM
plotting neat double play unassisted.
flanagan was the particular star
of the game. He plays with a dash
and vim that every member of the
team should emulate.
Mcdowell showed up we'll in the
field, at the bat and on the bases. He
is sure to make good.
Perfect harmony prev ails among the
players and the relations between
Manager Elgin and his youngsters is
very cordial.
Key is one Of the fastest sprinters
on the team and his slide to second
kicked up mountain of dust.
Reed, who covered left field, lets
nothing get by him, and is batting in
way to make the fans feel hopeful
of carrying off the pennant. He made
the first home run of the season at
Millersburg Saturday.
Manager Elgin called meeting of
his men yesterday morning when the
errors made in Sundays game were
fully discussed, with the rules of the
game, each player manifesting much
| interest, seeming determined to per-
feet themselves in team work. We pre-
dict a fast team, regardless OF some
few knockers.
This is the first time that the lovers
of the manly sport of the National
game In our city have had an opportu-
nifty to see league baseball team in
| Paris, and our citizens generally should
give the club the backing that citizens
of our nelghb0ring cities are giving
their respective clubs. Knockers can
be found on all occasions in Paris. a
Few are around now knocking on some

ghost of chance to show what there is

grain. Give everybody a chance.
The first game of ball played by the
Paris league team was on Saturday,
when they lined up against the M. M.
|. team at MilIersburg. Pagan and
Haley was the battery for the college
team while O'Donnell, Robertson and
Elgin did the battery work for Paris.
The game resulted in the following
score: Paris II; NJ. M. l., 8. There
were many errors made by both teams
showing the need Of work. However.
Manager Elgin was pleased with the
practice 1t gave his men. Five squeeze
plays were made during the game, six
5unts beat out and fifteen bases stolen
by the Paris boys. This shows that
the boys selected by the manager know
their business and that work is all
that is needed to make them a win
ming team in fast company. Manager
