One of the attractions Of the w.
o. w. barbecue on the Glorious
Fourth was ball game between
the Equality and Pleasant Ridge
teams. This part of the program
was put on at East End Park in the
afternoon and proved quite a draw
ing card, as Equality's prowess was
already well known in this vicinity
and the Daviess county aggregation
came highly recommended as ball
artists. A good sized and enthu-
siastic crowd was in attendance.
Taken as whole the game was
a fairly good exhibition of ball
/ playing, but hardly up to the ex-
pectations of the fans. However,
the Woodmen were highly com
mended on all sides for their enter.
prise In providing such a treat for
the holiday crowd. The manage
ment gave a prize of $500 to the
winners and $500 to the losers.
The final score was IA to in favor
of Equality.
Although the Pleasant Ridge
boys put up game fight and pulled
off several classy plays. they were.
on the whole, outclassed by the
Equality bunch and during a large
part of the game our Ohio county
boys played rings around the visi-
tors. The batteries were: For
Pleasant Ridge, Westerfield and
Hinton; for Equality, withrow and
Addington.
Among the Pleasant Ridge per-
i formers the bright, particular stars
were their singer and their second
sacker, our old acquaintance, Guy
WEIGH. With better support behind
Westerfield, there probably would
have been a different tale to tell.
Noah Withrow was in splendid form
and had the opposing batsmen
considerably puzzled over his Of
ferings. Ray Addington played a
classy game and was a great factor
in the victory of the Kronosite ag-
/ gregation. The other mem berg Of
the team also performed creditably,
supporting the battery well and
making numerous pretty individual
plays.J The score:

The banner game of the sea-
son was played at East End Park
on last Saturday afternoon between
the Hartford Oil Magnates and
Green's Nebraska Indians. 1t was
perfect day for the sport and a
crowd of between 500 and 200 ir-
repressible FANS bugs and
nuts" were on hand. And they
were not disappointed. for it was a
high-class exhibition of the ball
playing art from start to finish. OF
course the Indians, as professionals
are right up to now" and our boys
didn't show up as such rank anna
tours, either. In fact, the redskins
were surprised at their warm recep-
tion and complimented our team on
its playing.
Richard was the mound-artist
for Hartford and Thorpe was his
battery-mate. For the Indians
big Chief Wauseka dispensed the
curves and Brave" Bataga did the
backstopping. The final score was
8 to in favor of the visitors, but
1t was a much better game than the
score indicates and both teams
played big league ball throughout
the contest.
The scoring began in the first
frame when Moon laced out a pref
ty single to third and beat it to
first, scoring Wolf. few seconds
later Flora lifted a long fly to CEN

came very near tying the score.

nett hit one too hot for Comanche
and reached LIST safely, scoring Gun
