The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1909-06-25

Left fielder Reed has been released
by the Paris club and left Wednesday
night for Winchester with the view of
getting on with the Hustlers. Reed
has been holding down left field in
fine style, but his batting was any,
thing but favorable to the manage
ment, and as the salaries then paid
were in excess of the limit it was de-
cided that Reed was the only player to
be disposed of without injury to the
playing strength of the club.
Seven straights for Jimmie Poole,
and the lengthy southpaw seems con-
fdent OF winning at few mroe just to
keep his rep" up. He has defeated
Richmond twice, Shelbyville twice,
Frankfort twice and Lexington once.
On Saturday he will probably face the
Hustlers for the first time, and prom
Uses to make it interesting for dad
dy' Horn and his bunch.
After being out OF the game for
several weeks Setback has returned
and of the four games he has partici-
pated in this week he has done re-
markedly well under the circumstances.
His injured ankle gives him some
trouble in running, but ne is rapidly
rounding to and in a few games will
be as good as new.
big Jeff" Elgin is working like
he never worked before. In Wednes-
days game out of three times at bat.
ne secured three hits. He is fielding
bis position on first like veteran and
is using the stick with such telling eff
feet that the fans are high in their
praise of his efforts to land Paris at
the tGp of the list.
The pennant winning ball the Paris
boys are playing is highly pleasing to
/ the lovers of the sport and predictions
are numerous that if Paris continues
as she has been playing in the past
few weeks the close of the season will
find the bunting floating over League
/ Park.
The game of Monday will go down
| in history as one of the worst that the
locals have ever played, and there is a
big chance it would not occur again in
time to come. The home boys redeem
ed themselves by lashing the colts in
the last two games.
The Paris management threw out
the hook for Adolph, who was released
from the Lexington club Wednesday.
They failed in their attempt to sign
the out fielder, who it is reported, has
cast his lot with the ShelbyvilIe Mil
lers.
Scott takes every thing that comes to
short. His throwing is quick and accu-
rate, and when he takes a throw al
second the runner always has a baC
chance.
Barnett is playing his usual GOOD
game at third, but occasionally has ar
error due, probably, to the fact that
his chances are rather difficult to
handle.
In Wednesdays game Felix haC
twelve put-outs to his credit. The lit
tie back-stop is taking everything that
comes his way in fine style.
From the bottom to third position.
/ the season just about one-third over,
and the Paris CLUB playing better every
day looks good to US.
Ochs seems to have an eye for two
! baggers and never seems satisfied in q
game until he gets one to his credit.
Digger will attend to the Hustlers
today at League Park, with the assis-
/ tance of his fast playing mates.
/ The game Wednesday between Paris
and Lexington was attended by large
week day crowd
The hustIers from Winchester will
be here today to get theirs. They all
look alike to the Paris boys.
Winchester here today, Paris at
Winchester tomorrow and Winchester
here Sunday.
