BLUE GRASS LEAGUE NOTES
NOTES.

Inc Berry STATION team, winner OF
majority of games played last season
with all of the good semi professional
teams of Cincinnati, will be here Sun
day to cross bats with the Paris boys.
This will be a game where you can get
a good line on the Paris boys, for they
will be up against the real thing.
Winsome Winnie Key is working out
nice on the Main stem.
pepper" Parrish is On to the job
with a brand new bottle of ginger to
uncork for the boys.
Reed plays left field with a dash and
speed seldom seen in this class of ball,
and he has bright future in front of
him.
The Athletic club, Of Lexington, will
play return game here today. These
boys will put up much stronger game
than on Sunday last.
Price & Co., ,, the enterpriisng cloth
iers, will give new shirt to every
player of the Paris team that makes a
home run during the season.
Mr.. Lunch" O'DonneIl has found a
new way in his dream to bat grounders
to the infielder, that is to blow them.
He was practicing last night.
The excursions will soon be over and
then the management and players can
get together and perfect signals and
understand one another so there will
be no chance for errors.
DR.. Ussery was heard to say Sun
day to a Mr.. Crouch who was COM
planning of the grand stand: "Push
If you can't push, pull If you can t
pull, please get out of the way
The Paris boys in the last game
showed some real inside work and with
ought to open the three game series at
Winchester with snappy ball playing.
Several of the pitchers have been
seen the past few nights in the vicinl-
ty Of the grave yard. It was reported
from police headquarters that they
were looking for four new arms and
head.
The Kentucky University team was
on hand Wednesday afternoon to cross
bats with the Paris team, but instead
of baseball game the two teams in
duIged in hail ball game. The grounds
were covered by several inches of hail
stones.
Graham, catcher. Dupre, pitcher and
Mcdowell, outfelder, will probably
be released by Manager Elgin at the
end of this week. Bell, infelder, will
be retained for some time yet so we
will be well fixed on the infeld in case
of injury to any of the players.
The weather has been so bad that the
pitchers are not in the best of shape
and for that reason Manager Elgin
won't pick the three that he is going
to keep until he has looked them ever
in good shape, as he realizes that he
can't have a winning team without
good work in the box.
Paris has some men on the team that
are due to go into faster company be-
fore the season is over. The local fans
should be on hand at every game and
root for the Paris team, which from
the present outlook is the equal Of any
team in the Bluegrass League. With
the careful and painstaking coaching
of Manager Elgin we should finish one,
two or three easy.
Ochs, an outfelder and Barnett, an
infielder, arrived Wednesday evening
from the Dayton Central League, and
are valuable additions to the Paris
club. Barnett played third base last
season for the Lexington team and can
be relied upon to take care of any in
field position. Ochs halls from Cincy
and has been with the fast Dayton
team for tWO years.
The following will most likely he

season with: Elgin, c; Key, c. and r.

be carried until about May 10, when
the three that will be kept all season
will be picked and the others let go.

league game at Winchester on Tues
day next. There will ba a special
train leave Paris on that day at l 80
O'Clock for Winchester. provided there
will be fifty tickets sold at 80 cents
