both fans and players had to swal-

upon the ''off day" theory. As was
anticipated, the Hartford boys were
up against one of the best teams
that has opposed them this season
and the Cleaton lads Went at a clip

A fair sized crowd was on hand
when Ned Turley called play ball"
at O'Clock. Barnett and Thorpe
composed the battery for Hartford
and Brown and Cody were on the
points for the visitors. Barnett
pitched a winning game, tanning
ten men. but his support was rag
ged and amateurish. This poor
showing of the locals was due in
large measure to the fact that the
team did not present the usual line
up, two or three substitutes having
necessarily been put in. The visit
ing team, battery and all, played
big league ball. They had perhaps
the best aggregation of hard and
safe hitters ever seen on the local
diamond and their work in the field
was fiawless.
The slaughter began in the sec
ond session when as the result of
three singles. three doubles, a
triple, three errors and a sacrifice,
Cleaton ran in five scores. After
this disastrous period until the
ninth inning Barnett had the visit

Taylor Mines, KY, July IA. 1913.
Editors d:-Would
you please correct the statement
you made in your paper of July "a
in reference to the ball game be-
tween Hartford and Taylor Mines?
You spoke of our team of Miners
as you called them in a very slightly
manner and we feel sure you over
looked the fact that the Oil Mag
mates, as you termed them, had
three miners in their lineup. You
also said the Oil Magnates were
playing rings around the Miners.
However true that may have been,
we were still in the ring, for as you
know, in the last half of the Sth
inning the score was six to four i'm
favor of the Oil Magnates. The
one out and when it looked as
though the victory was ours and we
were slamming Richards delivery
to all parts of the park, the batter
famed and catcher dropped the
ball, recovered it. stepped on home
plate, went 10 Sd, threw the bali TO
I'd, claiming he made a triple play.
We do not know whether he
meant to run the bluff or thought
we miners wouldn't know the diff
ference, but rule 81, sec. s. is very
plain, which says: IF while LIST
base be occupied by base runner.
the third strike be called on him by
the umpire, unless two men are al
ready out, the batter is out"
We feel We have been misrepre-
sented and to show that we mean
TO deal fair We are willing to play
Hartford (not "A picked team of this
and adjoining counties) and we will
play no one who is not employed by
the Taylor Coal Co. on our team:
four games, two to be played on
your grounds and two on ours. win

put up ffty-dollar forfeit. The
games are to be played out and a
disinterested umpire to be selected.

Editorial Note-The above COM
munication came to The Herald I'M
signed by any person and it is
strictly against our rules TO pub
lish such, but presuming and hop
ing it was written by responsible
party, we print it. There was no
reflection intended by The Herald
in referring to the Taylor Mines
ball team as miners, nor no inlus-
tice aimed by our write-up There
are various ball phrases used and
this was intended only to distin-
guish one team from the other.
There was no malice felt in our
write-up nor no odium intended
upon the personal honor or integ-
rity of the Taylor mines ball team.
However, il was matter of general
comment, by many people not resi-
dents of Hartford that our boys
We're shamefully treated in the mat
ter of the umpire's decisions. This
was all that was ever complained
of. We have nothing to do with
the management of the Hartford
Baseball Team, as the above writer
no doubt knows. and he should di-
rect his challenge to Manager Case
