Lexington Herald Editorially Says
That Maysyille Had Best Club In
League-Are clad We Won.

Editorially the Lexington Herald
Monday says:
The Blue Grass League, its first
heat" over, started again yesterday
afternoon, beginning at tho beginning
with all teams having an equal oppor-
tunity to cop the bunting for the sec
ond season.
The first half-season has proved
much more than the supremacy Of the
Maysville baseball team over the other
five clubs which contended for the
pennant.
The desire Of the people OF Central
Kentucky for a baseball league has
been demonstrated. Tom Russell, the
ever at 1t" president OF the league, at
the outset faced many doubters. He
deserves the principal credit for the
success of the league yet the triumph
is not a personal triumph alone, be-
cause 1t is the result of a demand for
baseball which has been clear and out
spoken.
We hope that Lexington cops first
honors this season than last but the
desire, q may be said, is based chiefly
on prejudice, since the victory OF the
first season went to the Best team and
was richly deserved.

Jerked without Reason.
Shaw in his stay of eight innings
on the hill was again the victim of
hard luck and seeming indifference of
one or two of his teammates to field
properly behind him. Kresses as US
ual gave his wonderful exhibition al
short field and after a little more
practice the crowds will know what he
is trying to initiate. Though not near
as sensational as his opponent includ-
ing the fatal eighth in both their
pitching records, Shaw pitched a very
teady game and we as we'll as all the
| fans are at 4 loss to know why after
boring the brunt of the game for eight
innings with but one earned run
against him the score being tied be-
hind him the visitors ace being driven

crushed he must give way to allow his
successor to get credit for an easy vic
tory. If he was good enough to lose

The whisky had been buried so
