MAYSv|LLE TAKES
THURSDAYS GAME
With WINCHESTER
Protested Game Played on Here On
Thursday Results In a 3 to
Victory for the Local
Club.

| Despite the cold wintry weather
| Maysville again comes out victors over
| the Winchester Dodgers after theiI
protest of the opening game. Perhaps
after three straights in the losing col
umn at the hands Of the locals by the
time they are scheduled to appear
again in our city they will have that
protesting bee out of their bennett.
Nevertheless it was a fast game of
ball with Umpire Goetz master of the
situation throughout the hour and
thirty-five minutes.
1t was another pitchers battle this
time between Shaw and Vallanding-
ham but good fielding behind the
youngster enabled him to bring home
the bacon in his first attempt on the
mound. Vallandingham but for the
first inning deserved to win but two
three base hits a walk and a wild
heave proved too costly. Shaw worked
like an old timer allowing six hits
and in no inning did the opposition
collect more than one besides getting
the first man to face him in every
frame but two.
After the visitors were retired In
the first our boys lost no time in put
ting the game on ice. Fortner went
out to short; Class pulled up at third
after long lick to left which unnerv-
ed Val and he walked Connolly Thoss
threw wild to third to cut off Glass
and he scored the first run. Connolly
scored when Slayback hit in center for
three sacks, and a wild pitch counted
Scottie. Kresser and Dresel struck
out when Val seemed to be aggravated
because three runs resulted from two
hits and an error.
The Dodgers only run came in the
second when Shaw showed his only
weakness Of hitting Ballard after
Glass had thrown out Basket at firs:.
A wild pitch put him on second and he
arrived at third when Shaw threw out
J. McCourt. Ballard crossed an an
other wild pitch while Shea struck
out for the third out. One run on no
hits and no errors Ia something very
unusual.

Kentucky is sadly deficient in stat,

similar evidences Of respect to her

sadly deficient in art museums, his

students that do research work in

for original material. This should not
be.
The schools Of Louisville have
agreed to raise $4,000 for this. We
want to raise, at least, 5000 here in
Maysville. To do this, we are asking
today each child in the city to bring
