The Boo Gang of Cleveland and the

in the afternoon, 8 to 5. No game
was played on Sunday, because of in
clement weather conditions.
Lanty Householder, younger
brother of Harry, pitched for the To-
Gals in the morning and did very well.
Only two clean hits were garnered
from his delivery, the game being
lost on errors. Mt. Vernon lead 4 to
3 until the latter part of the game,
when the Boo Gang secured three
runs on muffs and boots.
The largest crowd of the season
turned out in the afternoon. The Boo
Gang placed Earl Moore in the box,
but yanked him after the fourth inn
ing, when the locals had cinched the
game with six runs. Moore, who for
merly played with the Cleveland
Americans, had an excellent delivery
and all kinds of curves, but lacked
control. His four wild pitches were
directly responsible for a majority of
the locals runs. Sherr worked well
for Mt. Vernon and was never in dan
ger save once and then he pulled out
with strike-outs.
The locals hit strong. Popejoy got
a fluke home run, scoring two others,
when Centerfielder Murray of Cleve-
land made bad return of hit into
deep center. The bingle was good for
three bases, but Popejoy stretched it
into a homer. Sullivan hit for three
sacks in the fifth and was later scored
by Morton's single. The locals scored
three runs each in the first and
fourth, two in the fifth and one in
the sixth. Cleveland tailed once in
the first, twice in the third and once
each in the eighth and ninth.

The Deceased Was Formerly
In Business In MI. Vernon
But Lately Had Been Resid-
ing On A Farm

IN the snort space OF feW seconds,
at the J. M. Walker saw mill Tuesday
morning at 11:15 o'clock, life was
crushed out Of Harvey shrimpIin, a
farmer residing near the Ebenezer
church, when three heavy logs fell on
hIs chest, knocking his ribs into his
heart and stopping the current Of life.
A frantic cry was heard by his H..
year.oid son, Lawrence, who was in.
side Of the mill, and he rushed out to
find the inert form Of his father bur.
led under three logs. His fearful
screams brought Frank Montgomery,
verd Mavis and J. m. Walker out of
the mill, but nothing could be done.
The man was dead. Coroner Pumph-
rey was summoned and the remains
were later taken to Miller Brothers.
morgue.
Shrimplin had driven in to Mt. Yer
non Tuesday morning with his son,
Lawrence, to dispose of four large
logs he had cut from his farm He
arrived at the Walker saw mill at
about II o'clock and started to un.
load his logs. A cant-hook was EN-
ployed and the work was being done
by Shrimplin unaided. His son had
gone inside the mill One log had
been safely unloaded and Shrimplin
was preparing to remove the remain
dor urhnr nifhnt. chains,
the logs together became unloosened,
or the cant-hook slipped. Which, is
not known, as there were no eye wit
nesses of the direful event.
When Shrimplin was reached, three
logs lay across his chest One of
these had pushed his lower jaw
against the upper in such manner
that a number of teeth were broken.
Neither jaw was fractured There
was an unusual absence of bruises
about the body, although the frame
work of his chest was crushed in and,
as stated above, several of the ribs
had punctured vital organs, particu-
larly the heart.
With the assistance of the rapidly
increasing crowd, the logs were re-
moved from Shrimplin's body and the
examination of the dead man was
made by Coroner j. M. Humphrey,
who pronounced death due to the pen
etration of the heart by the ribs. Mil
lers ambulance was summoned and
the body removed to the undertaking
parlors on North Main street.
The deceased was 43 years of age
and was well known in this city, hav-
ing engaged in the meat business
here in partnership with Mr.. John w.
Paige, under the firm name of Paige
& Shrimplin. A little over year ago
the deceased moved out on the farm
on the Wooster road, near the Eb
enezer church. Since then, he has
been actively engaged in farming.
He leaves wife and two children,
Evaline and Lawrence.
A sad feature of the accident was
the presence OF Shrimplin's little son.
The little fellow was well-nigh fran
tic with grief over the accident and
had no relatives near to console him.
He alone had accompanied his father
