Paducah, July Special. In
a hard fought battle between the
local "Typhods" and the 'Tadpoles'
the locals won out by virtue of their
superior hitting.
Both twirlers performed well and
were supported superbly not an
error being accredited to either
team.
The feature OF the game was the
three double plays of the local ag-
gregation Lingle of Cairo starred
with great catch of L. Smith $
smack to deep right in the eighth.
The "tsds' were only able to
bring one tally across the plate
while Paducah crossed at Will.
The game was marked by superior
playing of both teams as there was
not single foozle Even Paducah's
new first baseman was able to stand
