TWO OUTS FLOOD SCoRlS TWO ON fly
10 CENTER FIELD WHICH GosNELL DROPPED

mes, turned what seemed nearly GER
tain to be 3 to 2 victory for ClarkA-
vile, into to 8 game for Cairo.
The suspense was awful, Hender-
son went ahead of Cairo in the frs
part Of the ninth by scoring one run
and JantZen was first at bat for
Cairo. He flew out and the faces of
cairo fans grew one foot longer.
Lewis was up next. He won the
first game of the recent double head
er with Padncah, repeated his per-
Torrance Of nice bingle and got
on first.
Lewis Steals Second.
Later Lewis stole second by
baye. Kerr, batting for Boley,
armed and said he was rotten,
.nongh not SO. Pitcher Binkley up
@'ith two outs against the side waited
them all out and got a pass, Ander-
son not being able to get them over
Wolfe, who leads the local batting
order, next came up and was very
fortunately hit by pitched ball,
going to first and filling the bases.
And then Manager Flood The
first ball over scraped his clothing,
but he was not allowed his base. The
second one he swatted square on the
nose, sent it to center where, after a
long run Gosnell caught it, let it go
through his fingers and Lewis and
Bin'kley crossed the plate.
Fans Throw Money.
Enthusiastic fans threw money
out of the grand stand to Flood. All
of the Cairo fans bought drinks last
night for Gosnell for his Kindness
rendered to the local team.
The game was played on wet
grounds, which. however, were in
better condition than on last Friday. |
1t was quite a pitchers battle be-
tween Binkley of Cairo and Ander-
son OF the visitors. Anderson caught |
Anderson.
The two new players, Mills and
Parrott, did not arrive yesterday but
the locals played just as well without
them though, Wolfe coming in from
right to catch and Zeke going to
first, which win be his position for
-. a..
Wolfe's Tricks Crude.
Wolfe did one SLY trick when 4 |
Clarksville runner was on third,
few feet off the base and Raven
Gus" Wolfe, hungry for prey. tossed
the ball quickly to third and Jantzen
put him out before the Clarksyille
player knew he was out. AS back
stop and on peggings his work was
good, though he has not done much
work In this part OF the game this
season.
Binkley was in fine form and kept
his hits well scattered and didn't get
excited any during the entire game.
Zeke Taylor was happy that he
was allowed to play first, the same
old job he held for five years. This
will be his position the rest of the
season as Dummy" Hughes will
not be abla to be in the game again
until next year as he is in serious
condition.
Taylor showed great deal OF
pep" and kept UP hollering and
yelling through the game putting
lot of spice in the players.
Manager Flood worked like ma
chine and covered second sack in the
best form He does the proper di-
recting and had 1t not been for his
fly to center the game would have
been Clarksvilles
Lewis on short Is the best fielder
in the position in the league. He
snatched up the grounders with ease
and his throws to first are quickest
and most accurate Of any short in
the league.
Jantzany on third is sure man on
grounders and has a good arm for
throws to first and home, when n
visitor runner would like to score.
Weakley worked in left in the
place of Wolfe who caught. Like
Wolfe, Weakiey is an all around play
or pitcher, catcher, iniclder and |
outtlelder and Is nifty with the stick
Kinser In Center.
Kinser in center gets the kind tina,
Gosnell misses. He is now batting
third in the list. the advancing po-
sition," and does clever work In al
parts OF the game. {
Boley. a pitcher was used in right {
Yesterday, though not a regular out

with remarkable speed for one of hi

The Clarksville team is perhaps r
The weakest IN the league, though
here are afew good men on the team v
Heck on short and Zimmerman on
second, with perhaps one or two
,thers. They have two crack twirl-
