Their Own Diamond in Holly
Contested Game.

and interesting games seen at
the local park this year, Marion
defeated Dixon Friday by the
score of 3 to O. The main cause
of the defeat was poor fielding
by the visitors.
In the fourth inning coupled
with proper hitting by the home
team at the proper time, they
punching four hits off of Price
in that inning which netted
them the only three runs of the
game. A long running catch by
Guess into third kept the visitors
from scoring. Ramsey pitched
his usual good game keeping his
hits well scattered and fielding
his position in great style. The

On Wednesday of last week
Marion and Morganfild tied up a
score of 2 and 2, the game had
to be called in the eighth inning
so that the visisors could catch
their train. Gossage who did
the slab work for the locals was
back in his old time form and at
all stages of the game he had
visitors completely at his mercy.
Hudson who adorned the mound
for the lads from Union pitched
a good game but was hit hard at
several different times and had
it not been for over sight on the
part of umpire Mench, in the
first inning Marion would have
secured four runs instead of
two. Butch Taylor Immediately
after the two scores were made
in the first inning did not get off
his usual amout of jokes: and
the game had progressed but
little until everyone saw that the
"Old Man. who cavorted around
second couldn't come back. The
snap of youth had flown from
the old fellow and like Ponc de
Leon of old he needs to find the
spring which will restore to him
some vast amount of vitality
and beauty, Bob has always
been favorite here among the
base ball bugs and has made his
reputation as an ex-leaguer both
by his brilliant fielding at second
and his pinch hitting in citizens
clothes. The features Of the
game were the hitting of Taylor
and Bushman for the visitors
and Rochester and Carroll for
the home team.

Promptly at three fifteen on
last Thursday one of the best
games ever seen in this part of
the state was called between
Morganfield and Marion at the
ball park in Morganfeld. Pat
Runyan the famous twirler from
Raducah occupied the box for
Marion with Eddie Brahic at the
receiving end. this pair had To-
cal sluggers completely on their
boat only allowing them four
hits out of nine innings of play.
Markham, Morganfield's great
pitcher was on the slab for the
local team he pitched a good
game, but the visitors seemed
to connect with his delivery
from the very start for it was in
the second inning when the
game had hardly begun that
