Cynthiana Slugged its way into
first place in the Blue Grass League
race Thursday, in the game played
on the Cynthiana field with Paris.
Cynthiana won out by the score of
z to 3, knocking Ballou, the Paris
twirling ace, out Of the box in the
seventh inning. Practically every
seat in the grand stand and bleach
ers was occupied long before time
for play, and the largest weekend
crowd of the season, estimated at L.
200, turned out to see the struggle.
with the exception of the third in
ming, when Paris punched three of
their hits, Long held them at his
mercy. Cynthiana scored three runs
: in the fourth inning on hits by
Schumacher, Blakely and Linden,
force-eut and Brockman's error.
Two more were added in the sixth,
when Linden trippled, and Reno hit
the score board for homer. The last
two runs came in the seventh,
when Rorer tripled and scored
and scored Schumacher and himself.
Paris three runs were made in the
third inning. The batteries were:
For Cynthiana, Long and Barker;
for Paris, Ballou, Wills and Macke.
The game went for two hours, and
was umpired by Osborne and Trie-
bel.
Paris defeated Lexington in a
closely-contested and cleanly-played
game, at League Park Friday after
noon, in the presence of small
crowd, owing to counter attractions
drawing largely from the usual
crowd The final score stood to l..
Nickerson walked three men and
was relieved by Shaw in the first
inning, after Paris had scored two
runs. Paris again scored one in the
second inning, Lexington following
with one in the third. From that
time on it was a pitchers battle,
neither team scoring. Both Shaw,
for Lexington, and Rummage, for
Paris, pitched good ball. Features
of the game were the batting of CT
coma, Nippert, Wunker and Winger
for Paris, and Morton, for Lexing-
ton The batteries were: For
Paris, Rumage and Macke; for Lex
ington, Nickerson, Shaw and Monk.
The game went one hour and fifty
minutes, and was umpired by Os-
borne.
Paris lost to the Winchester team
Saturday afternoon, at League Park,
in a thrilling and hotly-contested
game, by a score of to 4. Cotter
went in for the locals, and after be-
ing hard hit in the fifth inning, was
relieved by Ballou. The locals were
unable to overcome the lead gained
by Winchester. although they
scored three runs in the sixth in
ming, with promises for more they
were unable to realize on. The fea-
ture of the game was running
catch of a long and high fly by
Woods, who almost picked it off the
fence in deep center. Ballou hit the
advertising sign of the Lexington
Herald and won a suit of clothes.
The batteries were For Paris,
Cotter, Ballou and Macke; for Win
chester, Powell and Thoss. Ackley,
who umpired, gave great dissatis-
faction by bad judgment on balls
and strikes.
There is an old saying that
"misfortunes never come singly."
trongly to affairs, Paris base
strongly to Alters in the Paris base
of the business is that Paris was out
having suffered defeat at the hands
of the Winchester team in to 4
game at League Park, Saturday,
Paris again went down in defeat in
the Sunday afternoon game, the
score being 5 to 8. Rummage
pitched a steady game for the Mann
moths, and did credit to his reputa-
ton as a consistent twirler. 'The
fly in the ointment" was the shady
playing of Hileman, who made
costly errors at second, later re-
deeming himself with long hit.
Rummage hit the ball for homer,
probably the longest hit made on
the local field this season, the ball
topping the fence at the score board
in deep center, and helping to score
two runs. Features of the game
were the hitting of Rummage and
Winger for Paris, and a running
catch of a long hard hit fly in deep
center by Hogan, for Winchester.
Summed up in a nutshell, the truth
of the business is Paris was out
classed in. the playing game Satur-
day and Sunday. AT one time the
game took on the appearance OF a
Donnybrook Fair rucas, which
promised interesting results. The
umpiring of Ackley, especially on
balls and strikes, was below par,
(however, he played no favorites),
and caused a near-riot, when Wills
was called out on strikes. Wills,
