CLUB STANDING

win the game at Mt. Sterling, Sat-
urday between the Mt. Sterling and
Paris teams in the Bluegrass League
series. The game was an exciting
and close one from start to finish.
Wills worked on the mound for
Paris until the eighth inning, when,
after Mt. Sterling had hit his de-
livery for three runs, he gave way
to Parsons, who pitched the rest of
the game. The feature of the game
was the all-round fielding of Cicona,
of the Paris team, who also figured
in the home run column. The bat
teries were: Wills, Parsons and
Macke, for Paris; Nefrey and Lack
ey, for Mt. Sterling. The game,
which went three hours, was umpir-
ed by Wells and Brown.
Paris took the long end of the
score, 9 to 4, in the game at Gym
thiana last Thursday. Inability Of
the Cynthiana batsmen to hit in
pinches cost the Cynthiana team
the game. Cynthiana had sixteen
men left on bases. In the eighth
inning, when the bases were filled,
CicOna, of the Paris team, lined out
a hit which was stretched into
home run. bringing the three run
ners ahead of him. Cicona was given
an ovation by the Paris fans, who
were there in numbers. Wills fea-
tured for Paris in an unassisted
double play. The batteries were:
For Paris, Miner and Brockman, for
Cynthiana, Long, Padgett, McIlvaine
and Willie. Coyle, former Paris
star, played with the Cynthiana
team against his former teammates,
but did not shine particularly. The
game, which went two hours, was
umpired by Bob Spade. A large
crowd of Paris fans attended the
contest.
All the home teams in the Blue
Grass League lost Saturday, and
they all won Sunday. Which doesn't
mean anything except that maybe
that is the reason Cynthiana won't
play at home on Saturdays.
Paris fans have small reason to
seek comfort for the Mammoths in
the showing they made against Mt.
Sterling in Sundays game at Mt.
Sterling. The game was one to be
forgotten as soon as possible. Mt.
Sterling knocked Miner out of the
box, and defeated the Mammoths
by score of 6 to g. Harrison
