The Mammoths took the larger
end of a 4 to score from the Win
chester team in the game played at
Winchester, Thursday. The game
was one that has been chalked up in
the annals of baseballdom as ga good
one," and was witnessed by a large
crowd, many rooters from Paris be-
ing among those present." Rum
age, twirling for the Mammoths,
was touched up for twelve hits.
Winchester made a strong bid
for the game in the ninth inning.
Winger got two-base hit, while
Naples and Wunker figured in the
three-base hit column. The batter
les were: For Paris-Rumage and
Engle; for Winchester-Baylin and
Bell. The game went for two hours
and was umpired by Osborne.
In fast and well-played game,
Paris defeated Mt. Sterling in the
game at League Park, Saturday af-
terfoon by the score of 4 to 2. The
game was featured by sensa-
tional pitching, fielding and batting
by the Paris team. Mueller was on
the mound for the Mammoths, but
after Mt. Sterling scored two runs
off his delivery in the first inning,
he was relieved by Cotter, who took
up the battle, and pitched one of
the best games of the season He
came at an Opportune time, when
Mt. Sterling had two men on bases,
one out, and a chance for further
scoring. But by clever headwork
and snappy, steady pitching, he
pulled the team out of what looked
like defeat into victory. Sensa-
tional fielding by Wunker, and bat
ting by Naples, CicOna and Heilman
for Paris, featured the game "Hod"
Eller, former big league pitcher, and
new manager for the Mt. Sterling
team, was banished from the game
and put off the field after he had
thrown ball at Umpire Osborne,
after protesting the latter's decision
on a pitched ball, Eller had pre-
viously been warned against using
his famous "shine ball." which had
been banned by the baseball author
tiles. His action almost precipitat-
ed a personal encounter with Os-
borne, but the Intervention of Paris
police and cool heads in the playing
ranks prevented it. Terrell finished
the game fer Mt. Sterling, pitching
a steady game. The batteries were:
For Paris-Mueller, Cotter and
Macke; for Mt. Sterling-Eller
Terrell and Klopp.
Memories of the old Blue Grass
League days were recalled to the
minds of hundreds of fans Sunday
afternoon, when, in the presence Of
a crowd estimated at 1900, the
Mammoths and the Essex teams
fought out a thirteen-inning game,
in which goose eggs figured across
the score board until the last half
of the thirteenth. Hope after hope
that winning run would be put
across the rubber, and decide the
game, was rudely dashed to the
earth by superb fielding on both
sides. The game was a pitchers duel
between Hold Eller, Mt. Sterling's
pickup from the big league, and
Ballau, the Mammoth's new-found
the plains, Ballau was as steady and
unmoved by the fans roofing" and
pitched a game that stamped him
as a high-class man on the hurting
mound. Eller had the better sup
port from his teammates, several OF
the Mammoths apparently having
an off day, errors at critical mo-
ments counting against them. Bal
lou scored the winning run, when
after drawing q pass he was adj
vanced to second on sacrifice, and
scored when Cicona hit a hard one
to right field. The hitting of CT
coma and Winger for Paris and Eller
for the Essex featured largely in
the game. The tension of the long
drawn out game told severely on the
fans, who were on the nervous edge
nearly all the time, kept in tense
expectancy, and hoping something
would happen. When the winning
run was put across the scene defied
description. The summary: Two
