many as a couple of times. Handsome
Jack Scheneberg is the man of the
hour. Nothing more or less than a
hero in the eyes of the Paris fans, for
Il was he who pulled Paris@out of the
hole when Lexington had the best Of
the argument and it was he who put
the sphere against the centerield
fence in the last session and crossed
the rubber with the winning run.
The Colts started the run getting lin
the second when Myers was thu mped
in the ribs followed by two singles
which counted the first run. Paris
went them one better in their half
when Kuhlman singled and Maxwell
walked both advancing on Hicks out
and scoring on Scheneberg's timely
single.
Lexington went them one better IN
their half of the fifth on an error each
by Kaiser and kuhiman, a stolen base
and a single by Sheets. Not to he

SATURDAY.

The Bourbonites met their sixth con-
secutive defeat for the week when
they went down before the Shelbyville
Millers Saturday afternoon at White
Park by score of l to O.
The game, which was slow at times
was intensely interesting and Paris
had men on bases several times when
hit would have tied the score, but
"Rasty' Wright was very effective at
these stages and the faultless support
accorded him by his teammates result
edsin a long row of ciphers for the
Bour bonites.
Winchell, who had been out of the
game for more than a week, nursing a
sore arm. spresided on the rubber for
the locals. He was very effective
when it was possible for him to locate
the plate, but at times he was, ex

SUNDAY.

The hoodoo was broken and by the
unlucky thirteen at that Thirteen
figured prominently in the success of
the Bourbonites after a whole week
of defeats. in that the thirteen hits
secured during the contest Melted thir-
teen runs.
After week of poor hitting the
Bourbonites seem to have again come
into their cwn and hit Scheetz freely,
two baggers and triples coming in pro-
fusion and counting in most every in
stance. Seven singles, four doubles
and two triples tells the story of the
SUGGEST and aided the Bourbonites
considerably in boosting their averages
which have suffered considerably from
the slump of the week past.
Mccormick found little difficulty in
holding the Millers safely curing the
contest. Although three of the hits
made by his opponents went for two
bases only one of them counted for
anything and which alone saved the
Millers shutout.
After two of the Millers had been
retired in the opening session Kuhn
doubled to left but pefished when
caught off the bag. Mccormick to
Maxwell. Scbeetz opened the half of
the Paris inning by tanning Schmidt.

MONDAY.

Again the Colts attempted to sub
due the Bourbonites, and :again they
failed. This time it was double vic
tory for the Bourbonites because they
succeeded in hammering the ball at
such clip that Robbins. their old

bonites' camp so many times and re-
lieved them of their own. was driven
from the mound chagrinned and crest
fallen to be relieved by he of the cross

over his downfall.

The crowd hundred $50 which was
pretty good for Saturday game.
The Bouronites hit freely but safe
ties did not come at the right time.
McKernan famed with a man on

do.
Hicks was in the game all the way
and his line of talk seadied Winchell
considerable.
| Kaiser's only two putouts came in
the last session and they were hard
chances at that.
McKernan went around the second
sack in whirl In the eighth he took
drive from Oyler's bat that looked
good for base.
/ Goodman hit safely a couple of
times. one of which went for an extra
base which was the only one to the
credit of the Bourbonits.
Oyler's stop of Kaiser's hard hit
grounder in the eighth was nothing
short of sensational. Had the ball
gotten beyond the short field McCor-
mick would have scored.
Maxwell's double play in the eighth
possibly robbed the Millers of another
tally as failure on his part to retire
, the runner going to, first would have
resulted in Stengel crossing the rubber
safely.
Only two hits were made off of Win
chell. He made most unusual dis
play of wildness giving seven mer
bases on balls and hit two. Eight o.
