DIAMOND DUST
Hartford Evens Up With The Anglos

In hard-fcught game staged at
Riverside Park Sunday afternoon the
fast Anglo-American Mill team, of
Owensboro, went down to defeat be-
fore the lJcal lads to the tune of o
to 8, in an eleven-inning seance.
The battery for the Riversiders con-
sisted of PARROT and Phelps and
each gave good account of him
self The showing of the former
was especially remarkable in view Of
the fact that he had pitched eight
innings Sunday morning, making a
total of nineteen for the day. The
home boys got off to bad start, the
score standing to 1 in favor of the
visitors in the third frame, but
Harve's Henchmen came back strong
and tied the count in the ninth. The
heart-breaking deadlock was MAIN
tanned until in the eleventh session
with Glenn on third and one out,
BUZZ" Rogers lifted long fly to
center. AS soon as the sphere was
safely pillowed in the center gard
ner's nit, Jimmie" highballed it for
home, making a safe landing by an
eye-lash margin and neatly sewing
up the old ball game.
Two hOme-runs were made in the
course Of the contest, one by Cur
lie," of OwensbOro, the other by the
redoubtable Buzz" over center
field, a very rare quarter of the local
diamond to yield homer.
Beavers Neatly Trim-Islandcrs
Beaver Dam journeyed to Island
Sunday and proved their ball play
ing prowess by hanging up Z to 6
score in their favor, in spite of the
fact that they were seriously handi-
capped by the necessity of depend
ing upon substitutes for three of
their regular lineup. The batteries
were: Beaver Dam-Stevens and
i-SpNh, isiuE -IodteS, O"tH anu
Thorpe.
Saturday afternoon at Beaver Dam
the Beavers walloped Caneyville
with reasonable ease, the final tally
being to 2 in favor of the Ohio
Countians. Battery for Beaver Dam
and Glenn. Cissel
twirled for the visitors. The in
dividual star of the game was Ro-
mans. the high-powered shortstop
from the banks of the classic Caney.
Hartford, On transforming Tour,
Gives Dawson A Scare
The Hartford team is in Dawson
Springs this week, having signed up
for series of three games with the
Hambyites, beginning Monday. The
local lads lost the game Monday, we
are informed, IL to 9, after a game
fight, their defeat being due to the
fact that their regular pitchers had
not arrived. In their absence Leach
and Rogers did the twirling; "Jim-
my" Glenn was on the receiving end.
The feature of the game was the bat
ting of S. Afford for the Riversiders,
he having garnered single. dou-
BILE and triple. Thorpe or Cath
rome was carded to pitch for Hart
ford Tuesday and Stevens today.
The Ohio County lads ought to and
we believe they will cop both games.
Players making the trip are: j.
Glenn, NJ. Barnes, w. Rogers, S. AL
ford, c. Romans, G. Tinsley, G..
Stevens, G. Leach, c. Taylor. C. Bur-
ton, A. Davis, II. Render, j. Thorpe
and Cathrone. In addition to
Manager Harvey Sheffield, the team
was accompanied by those loyal fans
and rooters, Berry Dudley Walker,
J. p. Casebier and Claud King.
Walker was expected to do the judg-
ing for the locals.
Washington defeated No Greek by
the score of 10 to IA. at Riverside
Park SATURDAY afternoon. This was
The third and deciding game between
The rival sluggers. Each of the other
games showed a winning margin of
)nly one.
We regret that we could not treat
our readers to their regular dose of
'Dudley's Dope" this week. but the
.leyer "dopester" is with the local
cam at Dawson.
