POOR FIELDING OF BALL AND
CHANGE IN BATTING ORDER
CAUSE OF DEFEAT.
ANOTHER GAME TODAY
Pole Cats Beaten by Clarksville
With Roberts In Box--Mc.
Arthur Hurt In Game at
Hoptown.

Cairo made Henderson present
OF yesterdays game in the eleventh
inning much to the disgust Of fans
n the grand stand, when by poor
@elding of the ball In the first part
the visitors were allowed TO take a
run and by dlmphule "dis-ar-
Tangement" OF the batting order in
the last half the Kentuckians were
assured the game
In the eleventh inning when the
score stood to 6 IN favor oI Hen
derson with the three heaviest bat
teYs on The Cairo team up. Taylor.
Hughes and Walters, the batting or
der was changed that Cairo didn't
have a chance at winning and
number OF the spectators left know
ing what the outcome was sure TO
he. Hughes, who had just been lead
ing the Cairo team in batting this
season. and who had already gotten
one three base hit was displaced
for Shfmn, a good man and good
hittea but his heel having prevented
hin from being in center in yester-
uays game he was of course in no
condition to run the bases or beat
out bunt. He hit the ball but was
nut out at first A pitcher, Boley,
displaced Zeke Taylor, said to be the
best pinch hitter in the league, and
who ranked second in last years
averages, and Boley, though good
player, flew out Then Walters
few out and the jig was up.
The work of Umpire Pollard re-
minded all of Umpires Adams, Nab
w and Piatt whose service in the
league was short. He made bad
decisions OH both sides and when the
Grand stand would protest on his de-
cision OF a pitched ball he would
generally make the next one what IL
wasan't in order that he might
seven up. He robbed Cairo OF a
possible score when after calling the
fourth ball on a Cairo batter he
changed 1t to a strike and the man
was afterwards out though clearly
entitled to his base as the rules
strictly forbid the change OF de-
cision ON pitched ball. Umpire
Pollard says they change in the big
leagues, SO did Adams says that az
ter his famous blunder at Fulton,
but league officials did not see it
that way and Adams was forced to
seek employment elsewhere.
Another crack made by Pollard
was when Zeke Taylor Knocked a
foul: the ball hit his foot and rolled
into the diamond and the umpire
admitting he did not see what course
the ball took permitted the visitors
to field the ball and throw Taylor
out at first. Whoop-ee! A man
who can't watch the ball certainly
HAS no DlsllltSS ulbpiiiht7
He called Dummy Hughes out as
having famed because balls thrown
him were over the plate, but just
barely over and not high enough
sor any batter to hit. Umpire Pol
lard is good fellow and was a hne
base ball player, but certainly is nc
wonder as an umpire and is one o.
the worst propositions Cairo has ruf
up against.
Henderson obtained a lead in tA'
first inning of five runs by pound
ing the ball all over the field ant
made another in the fifth.
Cairo obtained her first run in TIM
third when Wolfe walked and wa
scored by Flood on three base hit
Wolfe walked again in the fiftl
when Hughes knocked a three bag
ger.
In the sixth Waters singled Kis
ner walked; Jansen walked fillinj
the bases and Waters and Kinsne
scored when Lewis hit to right
Hancock then began pitching TO
Henderson; Jansen scored on pass
ed ball; Neeley walked; Wolfe sing
led, scoring Lewis, Flood flew ou
but Neeley end Wolfe each advance
making five rams.
Besides the poor work by Umpir
Pollard and the taking out OF IN
heavy batters in the eleventh IN
game had other features DUNN
Hughs and Manager Flood each wo
a ticket to the Rees Lee dance D
making three base hits.
Cairo plays Henderson again e
day and with her regular batting OF
der should make a victory OF 1t.
