The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1910-08-05


Robbed of a victory IN the first
game by bad umpirlng, those scrappy
Indians managed to force one man
over the pan just in the nick of time
and win the second game.
The first game was won by Vim
eennes by a score of 8 to ?, but the
victory was protested on account of
the raw decisions against Paducah.
The first game went ten innings. but
the second was called in the fifth af-
ter Paducah had scored one run, and
the victory, in order that both teams
might catch trains.
Because of the bad decisions of
Umpire Lucas IL looked serious for a
few minutes. At the end OF the first
game after Vincennes had scored
three runs. the spectators crowded
out on the field, and but for the lack
of leader Umpire Lucas might have
needed the attention OF physicians.
The fans were furious and bitter was
the denuneiation heaped upon ''his
jumps" After a long argument UNI
pire Lucas agreed not to offieiate in
the second game and jeers greeted
him as he drilled to the club house.
II was by far the most sensational
time at League park this season.
In the first place, one of the larg-
est week day crowds of the season
saw the games. In the first game the
Indians got lead OF two runs. The
crowd was IN splendid humor until
the eighth when Umpire Lucas made
questionable decision. 1t was dis
puted so strenuously by Anderson.
the brilliant little short stop, that
Umpire Lucas just put him out of
the game and finally of the field.
With the score tied-2 to 2-at the
end OF the ninth. the game went into
extra innings. In the tenth two err
rors by Taylor and two much abused
decisions of Umpire Lucas, the Alices
forced over three runs and tucked
away the victory with a protest by
Paducah.
In the second game neither team
scored until the fifth. With nobody
out and the bases full the squeeze
play resulted in one score, and the
victory for the warriors.
The First Game.
The first game started exactly 90

was on the slab for the Indians. and |

out Jantzen TO Marin. Varnadore
drove out a safe hit to left, while An
derson responded by singing to right
Both runners scored when johnson
made wild throw. TAILOR walked
but the scoring as far as the Indians
were concerned was over. After the
first inning Morris Johnson twirled
good ball and the tribe did not hit
freely.
Vincennes gave no trouble until
the eighth inning. Then the score
was tied. Dehaven was first up and
singled to right field. Flanagan hit
to Engel and was out at first. De-
haven did not stop at second but
started to third. Taylor snapped the
ball to Anderson, who apparently tag
ged the runner. Umpire Lucas called
him safe and the first howl was lett
put. Anderson disputed the decision
and was ousted from the game Al

and Dehaven scored. Jones hit
single to center and Jantzen crossed II
the home pan with the second score
for. the Alices. Marin forced out

Johnson singled to right, but Gosneu /
ended the prospects for more scores
by going out Engel to Taylor.
Both teams went down in order in
the ninth. but the tragic story Is re-
lated In the tenth.
Flanagan was safe at first when
Taylor attempted a fancy one-hand
catch from Floyd and muffed the
ball. Jantzen pulled OF a neat sac
rifice going out Engel to Taylor
Jones knocked high one to Taylor

ball was foul and not inside the II
foul line, but Mr.. Lucas said Il was
good, and howl No. 2 was heard. II

the second run. Gosnell hit a hard
line drive but Vonadore made a pref
