in the game played at League Park

score of 2 to 0, and placed the Maid
en- City team in the lead at tina
time. Long allowed but five hit!

was one of the fastest of the sea-

Gently in baseball circles, in the
game at Lexington, Saturday, be-
tween Paris and Lexington. The tale
has been often told and may, per-
haps, have gained in the telling, but
enough has been said about it. At
any rate Paris handed Lexington
defeat by margin of one run, the
final score being to 6. Scout Billy
Doyle, of the Detroit Tigers, who
was present during the fray, stated
that he was sorry he had not been
scouting for prize fight candidates
instead of base ball players. The
batteries were, for Paris, Wills,
Gross and Macke, for Lexington,
Marks. Landers and Kelly.
The mere details of the game it.
self are not sufficient to interest the
reading public, but the fact that
general riot was staged at ball
game, thing that has happened
more than once where Lexington
hoodlums the concerned made the af-
fair more than memorable. 1t all
happened in the second inning, over
decision by Umpire Webb, in call
ing Nippert out at second when CT
coma hit a grounder to Reistenburg
at second. Managers Wills and Dew
eraux and other players became in
volved in a scrap and spectators !
from the grandstand swarmed on the |
field, staging a scrap that threatened |
to assume large proportions. AS soon |
as one scrap was stopped another |
would spring up on another part of !
the field. Plainly speaking is was
disgrace to baseball, one not to be
condOned under any circumstances.
and showed more plainly than ever |
the disposition of Lexington plugs to 1
start riot when it is to their ad-
to do so.
In the game at Lexington Sunday Il
the Paris and Lexington teams re-
peated the fiascO of Saturday, minus
the fighting stunt. Spectators say
it was simply step from the ridic-
ulous to worse. Lexington won the
game by score of Is to z, moving
up to third place in the Blue Grass
League race. The unsavOry adyer-
-lsement the game received from the
'crapping match of Saturday had a
tendency to increase the attendance.
