winters and Long came through
Win extra base hits at the opening of
the first and sixth innings of Sundays
game at Exhibition park and enabled
the Cambridge City Grays to again
deteat the Eagles by the count of
TO l. Winters hit the first ball pitch
ed to him by Harmon in the first in
ming for home run to left center
Long tripled to the same locality in
the sixth and was brought in by sue
ceeding batters.
Although the Eagle infield, which
has been faulty in past games, was
up to the minute on most all plays,
the Cambridge City batters lifted the
ball over their heads to the outfield
and made the best of the hits they
garnered off the delivery of Lefty"
Harmon.
Henges. from Cincinnati, was on
third base for the Eagles for Sundays
game. Riley was unable TO get here
on account of business again. The
former played snappy game on the
hot corner and the fans were well
pleased with his performance, al
though they all like to see snappy
Riley at the station.
Utility Ipfielder French, who batted

imported from Indianapolis.
Winters Poles Homer.
Play was called promptly at g
O'Clock, so Harmon started well by
disposing OF Diffenderfer by the J. Lo-
gan to Byrkett route. Winters then
spoiled everything with hard hit
TO left center, good for the circuit.
Long grounded to J. Logan for the
second odt and Mike Knott got his
first and only hit of the game. 1t was
q hard hit liner to Harmon which
1ldlocked the Eagle hurler so hard that
lie was lucky to recover the ball.
Reddinghaus then flied out to Harmon
for the third out. (Reddinghaus played
third base for the Grays in great
style. Fans would never know he was
the same player who used to don an
Eagle uniform. Creager, who former
ly filled the position for Cambridge,
has joined the Connersville Minute
Mem.
Both burlers breezed along after the
first inning in fairly good style, with
out being in any serious holes until
in the Cambridge half of the sixth,
when Long led off with his hard triple
to left. IL looked like he would die
on third after Knott and Reddinghaus
had both hit foul flies to Henges at
third, but Runnels came up and hit a
hard liner past third base, which
scored Long. Henges was playing his
bag at the time and was unable TO get
to the ball. Minner came in back OF
the third sacker in an attempt to get
it, but he was a bit short.
Harmon Singles
Then in the eighth, Harmon started
out to win his own game with a clean
single to right field knight was al
lowed to run for Harmon, after con-
sent of the Cambridge captain. Har-
mon had a lame ankle. J. Logan then
cracked a double which scored knight
easily, but the former was thrown out
at third after attempting to stretch the
hit into a triple. MINER was out Win
tiers to Hunt Then Henges got on
first after Reddinghaus had muffed up |
his grounder. The Eagles would have
had the tying run if Logan could |
have held second. Byrket made the !
third out Batson to Hunt.
With the score standing in their
favor to l, Cambridge pulled a. big
.attempt TO widen the gap in their half
III the ninth. Reddinghaus singled to
left, Runnels pushed him along to !
second with a perfectly laid bunt down
toward frfist base. Harmon and Byr-
ket both attempted to get the ball, |
leaving nobody to cover first. Hunt
was safe on another bunt in the same
toward first base. Harmon and Byr-
ket had both become mixed up in field
ing the ball. Stricken famed for the
first out Batson then hunted TO
Harmon, forcing Reddinghaus at the
plate. Diffenderfer flied TO ]. Logan
for the side-retirer
Eagles Try Hard in Ninth
The Eagles breezed in for the last
bats and Knight led off with a single
to right. Fitzgibbons hit over Batson's
head into the hands of Knott. who
retired knight, but the batter was
safe, after a desperate attempt by
Knott to complete a double play.
French batting for Eubanks, was out, |
Batson to Hunt. Hubbard then madeN
the third out by the same route.
Once more the Eagles were defeated
by the Cambridge nine, and the fans |
all laid it onto the Jumps. One pop
bottle appeared on the field, thrown by
a radical fan in his anger at q deci- !
sion. Probably it would be wise for
some of the irate fans, who object to /
the Umps, to go out and get an arbi- |
traitor for the Eagle games in the
future.
