Cynthiana played errorless base
ball behind Rorer and Rehkamp in
in the game at Cynthiana, Thurs
day with the Paris Mammoths, shut
ting out their opponents by the
score of 3 to o. The game was full
of features. Fast fielding by the
Cynthiana outfield robbed Paris of
several chances to score. The bat
teries were: For Paris, Wills and
Dugan; for Cynthiana, Rorer, Reh-
kamp, Willis and McIlvaine. The
game went an hour and fifty min
utes. Gay umpired.
Lexington undoubtedly has the
"hOodoo sign" on Paris. Paris is
the only team in the Blue Grass
League with respectful batting
average and yet the Parisians are
the only team that has not defeated
Lexington.
Paris took the scoreless end of a
shut-out game in Lexington, Sunday
when the Studebakers
"goosegged" them to the tune of 8
to o. In the first inning Paris used
four pitchers, Lexington taking the
starch out of them in the swatfest
that followed. This makes the fifth
tin1o tho Daric q Uoro0otiop hoe {riod
to down the Lexington bunch, COM
ing to grief each time. The old hoo
dood still seems to be in good work
ing order. Lexington made six runs
in the first inning, and one each in
the second and fifth. The four
Paris twirlers who made offerings to
the Lexington sluggers were Wills,
McCOrd, Miner and Parsons, the lat
ter being a new recruit. The result
of Sundays game puts the Lexing-
tcn team game and half ahead
Of the Paris team. In Sundays game
Paris played without an error being
chalked up against them-but
couldn't break the hoodoo. The
game lasted an hour and forty
five minutes, and was umpired by
Day, who gave satisfaction all
around. The game was witnessed
by a large crowd of Paris fans.
The Lexington Herald's sporting
writer pays tribute. in Sundays pa
per to two Paris players as follows:
'Nippert, the Miami University
product who is playing left field for
the Mammoths, has played in six
games and has hit safely in each
one This is the longest hitting
streak extant in the league just now
Miner, the Paris southpaw, didn't
look to be a wonder yesterday, and
he may not be. But just now he is
Lexington's star left
handler, for strikeout honors in the
league. Miner has whitfield 62 men
in SO innings pitched"
Representatives Of the clubs in
the Bluegrass League will meet at
Cynthiana tomorrow night, for the
purpose of taking action on the pro-
posed new three games a week
schedule, to take the place Of the
present schedule, of two games
weekly. The announcement was
made by President Thos M. Russell,
of Maysville, while in Lexington. If
the new schedule is adopted Mr..
Russell said, it will probably go into
effect on Sunday, July 9. Under the
schedule the games would
be played on Thursdays, Saturdays
and Sunday. Some of the baseball
people got their dates mixed and
went to Cynthiana last Wednesday
night, only to find they were a week
ahead of the real date of the meet
ing. The only difficulty anticipated
is to satisfy the Lexington club,
which has been holding out for all
Sunday games in which the team
participates to be played in Lexing-
ton.
In reference to the proposed
change from two to three games
week, some of the clubs object to
the CuduSc Ou lnC SIOuhU $1,000
Saturday base ball will hurt small
towns in the League. The Lexlng-
ton team objects to the change, that
is, if they are to be deprived OF
their Sunday games at home. From
the past weekday games, Manager
Jesse Morton states that the contests
on Sunday are the only ones that
are paying, and if the club has to
lose these games at home it would
almost force them to withdraw
from the circuit. However, before
the schedule can be adopted, unan-
imous consent of the six clubs must
be had which at present looks very
doubtful.
