Live Wire Batting Match at Fair
Grounds.


and persistent insiStent roofing by a
bunch of uncomfortable fans from
both ends and the middle Of the cOun-
ty, Bruce and the East end of the
county put up the gamest and most
thrilling game of ball seen for some
days at the Fair Ground Wednesday.
Notwithstanding the~cOuntless attrac-
tons of horse racing, dog circus and
yellow satin tights cavorting around
in death defying" featS, Phil Reeds
megaphOne and the prize 'bagas and
pumpkins, the crowd stuck to the side
lines and watched the swatting of the
ball to the tune of East End alias

If; Sybers, If.
Bruce started off with a batting
streak and in the third Hawkins
caught up 4 to 4. From that on to the
18th it was up and out. Then Hawk
ms got a crazy streak, damned the
ball just when@ it was needed. and
Bruce helped with an error and two
more runs settled the game.
In the eighth a decision by the UNI
pire sent Bruce scurrying to field and
after argument they were returned
to bat, only to go down on the first
man up.
Then in the ninth Bruce attempted
to switch batters but Cuttwright
caught them and called an out.
The score.
