The game yesterday was disastrous
for the crippled Paris team, and re-
suited in score of TO 0. Reed got
hurt and could net play. and Ochs and
Setback could not leave home with
them on account Of their injured limbs.
Quinlan was on the mound. Winchell.was
compelled to play center field aud Dug
ger right field. Hannigan played left
field ard Schmidt second base. 1t
looks like ali of or troubles are coming
at once.
SUNDAYS GAME.
The game at League Park Sunday
afternoon was witnessed by the largest
crowd of the season, the crowd being
estimated at two thousand. A special
train from Winchester brought $50
fans along to boost up the great Tony,
the much over-touted pitcher of the
Hustlers, as he proved to be, for
a short time after the start the Paris
boys landed on him good and hard and
after the smoke cleared away had
touched the invincibIe Tony up for nine
hits.
Digger was put in by manager
Schmidt. to pitch but it was an off day
for him. not having his usual perfect
control of the ball was wild, the visit
ors, however, only getting two hits off
Of him. He was then taken out, which
was not toyhis discredit, al d Winchell
put IN his place at the beginning of the
third inning. In the seven innings
Winchell pitched they only made four
hits. The game was lost by errors of
Hannigan, Elgin and wild throw by
Dugger In the second inning, assisted
by the utterly incompetent umpire,
Wilson.
This man seems to have it in for the
Paris nine and had before this game
robbed Paris Of two games. Still Presi-
dent Hammond, over the protests be-
fore filed from the officials CT the Paris
club insisted on having Wilson to UNI
pire the games Paris are to play. The
plain steal of Wilson and his thorough
lncompetency was enough to anger the
Paris fans to fever heat. The real
blame of the trouble Sunday should
be placed where it belongs on the head
of President Hammond, of Lexington,
who is part owner of the Lexington
team, and is so afraid that Paris will
beat Lexington out in the final run for
the pennant that he has done every
thing possible since the game started
to handicap our team and is still doing
1t by sending his pet umpire around
with the team, having him booked to
umpire the three games Paris plays at
Richmond this week. The following

The Lexington Herald like every
thing else that comes from Lexington
can see no good in anything that comes
from Paris, grossly misrepresents the
base ball trouble that occurred here
Sunday. In the first place it says that
Umpire Wilson was attacked on an in
terurban car after the game by "a
number of Paris fans for what they
considered an unfair decision against
one of the Paris players" We are in
formed that this is not correct. 1t is
said that Umpire Wilson used insulting
language to the party that he had
trouble with on the car, while he with
his wife were in box in the grand
stand. He informed Wilson that he
would see him after the game. Wilson.
under the guard of officers'was taken
from the grounds in an automobile tC
Tenth street where he boarded the in.
terurban car. The gentleman whose
wife had been insulted boarded the
same car before it left the station
and when Wilson boarded the car. he
was called down and the scrap began.
The interview the Herald publish
ed yesterday from Wilson is false from
beginning to the end. In the first
place 1T was the fifth inning the row
come up and the score was 3 to O. and
not the eighth inning and the score q
TO as Wilson says. Ochs was playing
Off third and when this long fly was hit
he returned to that base and had one
foot planted on it when the ball landed
in the fielder's hands and then made for
home. Wilson says he was watching
him. not true, for Ochs had taken his
seat and nothing said to him until
after the left fielder came in anC
and told Wilson Ochs had not touched
third base. He then walked to the
home plate and declared Ochs OUT.
This put the side out and left a man
on second base with one of Paris hes
batters up. Hundreds of good citizens
will make affidavit that these are tins
facts. Wilson's "rottenness" was sim.
ply unexcusable in fact, he acted like
he was being paid to defeat the Paris
team.
SATURDAYS GAME.
The game of ball at League Park
Saturday was one CT the kind that
lovers of the sport really enjoy. The
Bourbonites presented the ShelbyvilIe
Mlllers with a nice setting of goose
eggs, the score being 6 to o. Poole.
