cross the rubber.
The score was tied in the sew
enth. Hardinsburg was hlanked
in their half of the eighth. Irv-
ington broke the tie by scoring
the winning run in their half on
Hooks error.
The most brilliant playing by
our boys was pulled off in the
ninth inning when, after Victor
Brown was safe at first with a
nice little bingle over second base,
Nat Shellman whipped the air and
Brown was caught trying to take
second on Shellman's third strike
by an easy margin. Hardinsburg's
last and only chance came when
Willie Hoben came to the bat,
but the best he could do was to
die in Lyons big NIT as Shellman
did.
Very few errors were made on
either side. Irvington boys were
credited with six stolen bosses;
Hardinsburg none. The feature
of the game was the umpiring of
Bennett. Struck out, by Hoben,
4; by Hook, 1; by Herndon, 10.
Bases on balls, Hoben 2; Herndon

The Iardinsburg boys were
we'll pleased with the game. They
said they got a square deal and
want to play lrvington again.
The next game between these boys
will be played Saturday, June 3,
on Hardinsburg's ground.
