ATHLETICS ANNEX 4TH
OF JULY GAME
"Art" Smith Formerly of The
Kansas City Blues Pitched
For Wellington.

sas City Blue, accompanied by
some boys from wellington,
came to Lexington Wednesday
as per schedule and returned
with the small end of a two to
three score dangling from his
coat tail.
The game was an out and out
pitchers battle to the end with
the honors going to Hale, pitch
ing for the Athletics. 1t was a
procession up to the fourth when
the home boys scored run. In
this inning a run was scored
without a hit. Steven got on
through an error; he immediate
ly stole second and when Mr..
Bardet, catching for Wellington,
threw high to second, Stevens
went on to third and a little la
ter scored on a passed ball.
From then on up to the ninth
there was nothin' doin', Both
pitchers were turning them back
as fast as they came up.
In the ninth the w ellingtonites
began to find the ball. Cook first
up was thrown out at first by
Mackie. Lineback singled. ditto
another Cook. Bardet famed.
Smith was given free transpor-
tation. The bases loaded and one
out. Wellington at this point
pulled a little cuteness which
should have ended the game.
They sent in a pinch hitter un-
announced, who hit alright and
scored two runs, but when they
took the field again Mr.. Pinch
hitter was missing and the old
order was restored. This proceed
ure was irregular and long ar
gument followed. After the de-
batting ceased the score was al
lowed to stand and Mr.. Pinch
hitter was put in the game for
the man he batted for.
A defeat looked quite possible,
but the Lexingtonians were not
dismayed and proceeded thusly:
"Red" playing second for the
, Athletics, rode to first on a pass,
and while Stevens famed, lit out
for second. Bardet obligingly
/. threw high to second and RED"
, went on to third. He started to
steal home and Mr.. Bardet all
eagerness to smother him, jump
ed in front of the batter. This
was an out and out interference
with the rights and prerogatives
of the batter, so the jumps waved
him to first. Here another howl
went up and came down to no
purpose. Mr.. Smith became peev-
ed, and when "Speck" Navel
slapped one of his offerings for
a single, Red" came home with
the tying run.
The tenth was unprOductive.
The eleventh was not so. RED"
was first up and again rode to
first without paying. Stevens
came next. "Red" started for
second and Mr.. Bardet (bless his
heart) again threw high to sec
ond and Red" bless his heart,
too) rode on to third. Stevens
(bless his whole body) then hit
a teaser towards first and "Red"
came home with the game.
