SHIRLEY TO BATTLE
EAGLES TEAM HERE
SUNDAY AFTERNOON

Hawekotte will work against the
Shirley Independent baseball team
when they stack up against the Ea-
giles Sunday afternoon at Exhibition
park for nine rounds of national
pastiming in what promises to be a
fast game of ball.
Shirley is said to have a very fast
ball club and promises the Ea giles a
stiff battle. The visitors have de
feated the fast Farmland team, which
is one thing the Eagles have failed
to do but one time this season out
of four games.
Baseball critics who have seen this
team play state it probably is the
fastest semi-pro ball team in Indiana
having played the best teams in the
state and lost only one or two con
tests.
Eagles Going Good
The Eagles are putting up a classy
brand of ball to date and promise to
send the Shirley gang home with the
short end of the score. To make this
possible, they will have to play il
their best form.
Sullivan and Persinger share the
pitching honors for the team and are
cracker-jack twirlers, each having
pitched several two and three-hit
games, which is rarely found in indie
pendent baseball
Play will be called at 3 O'Clock
sharp by Umpire Haas. The teams
will lineup as follows:

DAIRY HERD FAILS
TO vANQUISH PRESS;
SCORE PROVES CLOSE

The Press baseball team defeated
the Hines Dairy team Friday after
noon at Exhibition park by the score
of to 5, in what started to be a
loosely played contest, but the teams
frightened up and played good ball after
the first frame
Hines started the scoring by chas-
ing three runs over the pan on clean
hitting, but failed to hold their lead
when the Press scored six runs during
their turn at bat in the first frame,
on hard, clean hitting.
After the first frame Hines settled
down and was not touched so freely,
allowing only three hits the remainder
OF the game, and only one run, but the
lead obtained in the first round was
too much to overcome
Wilson was in fine form but also suf-
tered bad first frame, in which he
allowed three runners to cross the
pan. He allowed the Hines five hits
and famed eight batters. Several
times the Dairymen threatened to
score but some fine pitching and some
good fielding saved him several
times.
The fifth frame was the best chance
the Dalrymen had to tie up the count
II not push over the winning run.
Hines and Smith were safe on errors
and Thornburg drew pass. Weaver
threw Hines out at the plate on Run
nels tap and also got Smith at the
plate on Nicodemus's tap. Goebel
