The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1909-06-08

Ball Club will throw a damper over the
Dase ball fans. It was the "biow that
killed father" 1t is so sudden that We
will wait until later to comment as
the blow knocks us off our feet.
Don't forget to attend the meeting
of the stockholders at court house To-
night. Alllovers of base bail, whether
stockholders or not are invited.
We cannot tell from here what will
be the result of Mayor O'Brien's lid
on Sunday ball. The officers of the
Blue Grass League meets today at
Lexington and the result Of that meet
ing will determine whether or not base
ball is doomed in Paris or not.
The crowd Sunday was by far the
largest of the saeson. The line of
spectators extended far out beyond the
bleachers in left field, and many
female enthusiasts were compelled to
stand to witness the game. The grand
stand was packed and the line in the
right bleachers extended far out in the
field. Spectators were allowed to sit
on the ground over the bleacher fences
in the field in order not to Obstruct the
view of those behind them in the
bleachers.
Local fans who attended Sundays
game expecting to see Tony the Great
IN all his glory were not so very favor
ably impressed with his work, al
though recent reports would lead one
to believe that he had all the other
pitchers in the league Outclassed ten to
one Tony has wonderful amount of
speed but there is a very noticeable
lacking in his head work, and this fact
was taken advantage OF by the Paris
rooters, who from the onset picked at
the easiest point. But for an unusual
ly large amount of feet no doubt Tony
would have picked from somewhere in
the clouds after mighty effort.
WinchelI, with his three Dagger, did
much to arouse the hopes and renew
the efforts of the rooters in their at
tack upon Tony.
Tony is certainly a great young
pitcher, but there are others in the
Blue Grass League that are his equal.
for instance Winchell. Digger, Poole
and Quinlan, of the Paris aggregation.
Every time Wilson appeared before
the grandstand after the fifth, he was
greeted with a storm of Kisses, in
which female enthusiasts expressed
their disapproval of his decision in de-
claring Ochs out vigorously.
Two errors, two hits and the wildness
of Digger were responsible for the
three runs in the second. While Dug
ger was taken from the box, this fact
reflects no discredit upon his pitching
ability and there is no doubt that he
will be great honor to the Bourbon
ties before the season closes.
Although Paris lost the Sunday game
to Winchester, the players and fans
have the satisfaction of knowing that
Tony is not the puzzle that he has been
touted up to be. While that Individual
vas at times very effective, two hits
good for three bags and one single in
one inning may make some change in
the muchly advertised offer of two
thousand five hundred.
A crowd to the number of two hun
dred and fifty came down from Win
chester to root for their idols" and
looked rather dismayed when the Paris
batsmen began to pound the ''no-hit
Tony"
There were two scouts from the big
leagues at Sundays game. Mr.. Nor
rlS Price, of Baltimore, represented
the American League, and Mr.. Max
Abrams, of Cincinnati, of the National
League. They liked Winchell ke-ter
than they did Tony and President Ba-
con, of the Paris club, was offered
So, 600 for the release of Wincheli.
How about this, you Winchester peo-
pie?
In the seven innings that WinchelI
was on the mound for Paris the Hust-
lers only secured four hits off of his de-
livery and only one run was made IN
as many innings. His pitching was
steady and the unpleasant remember
ance of the first game which he pitch
ed against the Hustlers, which resulted
IN a score of too, evidently had some
effect upon the visiting team as we'll
as the immense crowd that accompan-
led the team from Winchester.
One of the most remarkable displays
of nerve shown On the local grounds
was that of Ochs, who while suffer-
ing considerable agony from an injured
knee. was one of the principal per-
formers IN the game Sunday, and as a
result was taken to a hospital yester-
day for treatment. In one of the
opening games on the local lot, Ochs,
in an attempt to field a difficult fly,
fell after catching it and his knee was
injured. Since then intsead .of grow
ing better the injured member has
grown gradually worse, and it was
only by supreme effort and an an
usual amount of grit that Ochs held
down his position in center. Three
clean hits off Of the wonderful Tony,
two put outs and lively tilt with the
jumps, when the latter declared him
out at the plate in the fifth inning,
was his share of the incidents in Sun
days game.
