The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1911-09-12

Winchester CLUB was won by brilliant
playing on the part CT the Paris club,
every man playing as though his life
depended on the outcome and with the
same confidence that has won so many
victories. Each one playing champion
ship ball spelled defeat for the Win
chester club and won another pennant
for Paris.
1.-The credit of the grand showing
of the club is due to the players. as
each one of them played well in their
positions. Barnett at first has no equal
in the league and possesses more base
ball ability than many players in COM
pany of higher class. Harrell at
short is quick thinker and has all the
qualities that make a star player. No
club can be successful unless they
have good shOrtstop. Kuhlman is a
reliable player. possessed with a spirit
that wins. His hitting and fielding
was a big factor in the success of the
club.
Catcher Mayer lost no time during
his professional career, as he has
reached the major league after Just
one year with the Paris club, which
was his first year in professional base
ball, The Chicago White Sox have
bought this promising player. Max
well has lived up to his reputation as
a hard hitter and reliable player. |
doubt if there is another player in
this company better qualified to play
any position than he. His playing dur
ing the past two seasons at Paris has
been high class and l expect to see
him advance.
Chapman in left field is the most
improved player in the Blue Grass this
season. He has felded we'll anu has
hit the ball when safe drives counted
for runs. He also has great coaching
abilities which on many occasions have
served to worry the opposing players.
He is also quick thinker and a good
base runner.
Goodman in right field has played
here three seasons and his playing dur
ing the championship season just clos
ed has been of high class, batting and
fielding his position well.
1.-The pitching staff has been all that
could be desired and 1 look for all the
pitchers now on the Paris club to be
drafted. Shears has pitched good, con-
sistent ball all season. and displayed
wonderful ability especilly when VIC
tories were needed ard his success as
a pitcher had much to do with the sue
cess of the Paris club. Cyclone"
Jack Scheneberg lived up to his name
and his fourteenth victory was the
game that assured Paris of the pen
nant. Scheneberg not only pitched
wonderful ball but he fielded and bat
ted like big leeguer. He is possess
ed with all the qualities that make a
high class pitcher. Hauser is one of
the most promising youngsters that
has broken into the game. His ex-
of pitching of pitching against
the Lexington club during the season
just closed was remarkable. Not hit
was made off him in the game of
August 3 and but one man reachs I'd
first base, which was a gift. Much
can be expected of him in the future.
AS manager of the Paris Club | de-
sire TO pay my respects to the direc-
tors of the club as we'll as the partons
of the game. During my stay in Paris
no person could have been treated
more fairly than l have been and
should | remain in this class league
next season / would prefer to return
to Paris and manage the BOurbonites.
THE patrons of base ball in this
city can rest assured that they have
the best conducted base ball club in
the league. During my connection
with the Paris club | have found Mr.. |
Bacon, Mr.. Shire and Mr.. Patton good
base ball men and it is only through
their efforts that there is such a high |
class article of ball played in Paris.
