vile, but was relieved in the fifth
by Deberry, who was touched up
for ten hits, and four runs. Win

The agony is at last over, and the
official seal has been placed on Gym
thiana as winner of the second Sc

Paris fondly hoped to be the abiding
place of the pennant, and for a
while even the proverbial Philadel-
phia lawyer would have been puz-
zled to ascertain which team was to
be dubbed the champions. Mt Ster-
ling claimed it. Cynthiana was sure
it belonged there, and Paris thought
it was cinch, while Winchester and
Lexington were officially out of the
running. We are all glad|it is over,
but sorry Paris was euchered out
of the honor, which few of us doubt
belonged here-the championship of
the Blue Grass League.
A proposal has been made at
Lwrencebur to start baseball
league next year with Lawrence
burg, Frankfort, Shelbyville, Har-
rodsburg, Bloomfield and Bardstown
as members. And already there is
talk here of organizing base ball
league in Bourbon county, composed
of North Middletown, Jacksonville,
Austerlitz, Escondida,
Hutchinson, Riddles Mills, Spears
Mill and Paris. Some league, that!
