EMPRESS BOYS DEFEAT MADI-
son IN RETURN GAME.
By D. H. Vinet.

For this first time thu season
jacksonville was defeated By team
from New Orleans. This was due 40
doubt to the fact that the strength
of the visitors was greatly un1eIestl-
mated. The result was score CT
7 to l in favor of The visitors.
The locals were forced to press IN
to service for their moundSman ore
of their catchers, Geo. VaHtier. For
the seven innings that he worked his
pitching was all that coulu be en-
Dected. Although wild, at times, he
performed exceptionally we'll.
The visitors scored their first run
in the third when Duprey walked,
Mccain sacrificed, pitcher to first,
Burns singled. They scored two
more in the fourth when Snyder
doubled, after Rupert had Went out
from Pelloat to Warning. Duprey
out on fly to P. Blanchard. Mccain
was safe on Warnings error, Snyder
going to third from where he score
when Burns singled, Mccain going
to third on Reynolds single. Burns
made the third out when he tried to
score, Johnson and Pelloat getting
assists on this play, Cohn the out.
They scored two more in the seventh
when Mccain walked, was forced at
second by Burns, Reynolds singled,
both scoring when Godfrey singled
after Laiche had struck out. They
scored their last two runs on Warm
ing's error in the ninth, on Duprey S
single and Laiche's single.
The home boys scored their lone
runs in the fifth when Warning
doubled and Pelloat singled.
Paul Blanchard was called from
the bank to the diamond and gave
a good account of himself. SO good
was his playing that we think i;
would be an excellent idea If the
rest of the team would attend the
same school of baseball that grad
mated him. Blanchard's stick work
was more than good, especially so
when we take into consideration the
fact that he has not played ball for
several years.
1t looks as if the ,old-timers Of
jacksonville, like Blanchard and
Pelloat, take pleasure in showing up
the younger players, so easily do they
perform their good work.
jacksonville To Play Walk Overs
Sunday, August 10.
Next Sunday Madisonville plays
the Walk Over team of New Orleans.
The management is not taking any
chances on this game and will secure
the services of some Of the best play
ers available. Next Sundays team
will be one of the strongest teams
that mas represented MadisonVille
this season.
The management announces that
they have secured the services of Mr..
Frank Malloy, former captain of the
seth Division team. This team won
the championship Of the Over Seas
League. They have also secured the
services Of Bankston, who is reput-
ed to be one of the best semi-pro
pitchers of New Orleans.
Our old friend, Fassman, will be
back IN his old position in center
field.
The battery for Walk Overs will
be O'Brien and Beckman.
The game starts at 1870 p. m.

MANAGER MORAN KEPT K0PF
Younester Promises to Be one Of
Shining Stars in National League
This Season.

Leave it to Pat Moran to save HIM
self an ace for the day Of the big
emergency. He managed to retain
Larry Kopf, who originally was slated
to 60 to the Dodgers, but refused, and
the youngster who broke into the main
show few years ago as substitute In
fielder for the Athletics promises to be
one Of the outstanding stars OF the
National league this season. Kopf al-
ready has made good, but his admirers
say he Is going to ascend to even
loftier heights. Both in fielding ana
batting Kopf has been one Of the stars
Of the Reds, and Moran doesn't hesi'
tate to express his admiration for the
youngster. Moran, it is evident now,
accomplished ten strike for the Reds
and himself when he kept Kopf FOR
Cincinnati.
Advertising in The Farmer pays
big dividends.

BESPECTACLED HURLER HILL
Carmen Hill of Pittsburgh Pirates
Finds Glasses Are No Handicap
While Playing.

Carmen Hill, bespectacled hurler Of
the Pittsburgh Pirates, like Lee Mead
OWs who wears 'em when in action
for the Cards, finds the glasses are no
handicap whatever. Incidentally Car
men promises to be one of the best
young right-handers in the National
league and Hugo BeZdek the Pirate
chief Is nursing him with infinite care
In the hope he will be able to take his
regular turn on the mound later in the
race. Hill and Meadows are the only
two players in the majors today who
wear glasses while pastiming. Both
have worn them since boyhood, having
weak eyes, but neither has ever been
handicapped by the specs when field
ing hard-hit balls.
