Notes..

Williams had a big day both at
the bat and in the field. One OF
his hits being a home run. He
handled nine chances perfectly in
the field.
With three old timers like Bill
Rapps. John Craig and Tink
Ellis in the game it made the
fans think of the old times when
they were the three best ball
players in the west. Ellis and
RappS showed the effects of time
when they We're thrown out by
the Outfielders on balls that few
years ago they would have beaten
so bad that the fielder would not
even have attempted to make the
play.
September 10 the boys will go
To Clinton.
So far no game has been
hooked for the next Sunday.

Rich Hill 8; Butler 2, is the
Season Series.

It's an old baseball saying, IF
you can't hit, you can't score
and if you can't score, you can't
win. That was the cause of
Rich Hill s defeat at Butler Sun
day, says the Rich Hill Review.
The home crew wasn't hitting.
Bud Vodry's single and double
and Steve Campbell's single was
all the hitting. The best chance
Rich Hill had to score was
smothered in the third frame.
With one down and Phillips OH
third by virtue of a pass and
Campbell's hit, II. Vodry hit into
u fast double play and Rich Hill s
chance went by. Grimsley had
some of the best batters on his
hip yesterday, and they simply
could not hit him when hits
would produce scores. Phillips
also pitched Il good game, and
had his mates helped him out at
critical times, the story might
have been different.
Butler scored two in the fourth.
Shroyer got lite OH Yarrick s
error, and Miller tripled him
home and scored himself on
Engle's s sacrifice fly to Pete Vod-
ry, ''Buzz" Williams poled one
over the hedge fence in the fifth
frame for the circuit. That was
about all the Butler hitting, but
it was enough to win.
