PAINT LICK WINS
FROM HARRODSBURG
Jim Lackey Pitches Mastery
Ball and Team Backs Him
Up in Splendid Style

! Paint Lick's fast baseball nine
| won from Harrodsburg at Paint
Lick Friday afternoon in a game,
though rather one-sided from a
scoring standpoint, still was very
! interesting from start to finish.
! The scare was g to |.
Harrodsburg and Danville sent
over a number OF rooters and
the Mercer county boys were
overwhelming favorites before
the game, but after Managers
Roop and Duerson's machine be-
gan to function there was moth
ing to it but Paint Lick all the
way.
There was keen interest in the
game and a big crowd turned
out to the creek bank grounds.
! which are in unusually good
shape. Many of the stores clos
ed until after the game and the !
day was big one all around for
the loyal Paint Lick rooters, and !
after the contest was over the
boys were congratulated on ALI
sides upon defeating a team that
is ranked as one of the fastest
amateur mines in the state.
! Led by Jim Lackey, whose
pitching was air-tight, Paint
Lick put up an iron-clad defense
except in one round, when a few
bobbles let in one tally. The in
field, with George Ginter at
short, and John Lackey at third,
leading the defense, was a stone
wall Lackey held the highly !
touted Mercer county sluggers
to four hits and not an earned
run was made off his puzzling
delivery. This was Lackey's
first game since his start against
Eastern Normal at Richmond in
the latter part of June. He had ,
the visitors breaking their backs
at everything that came over
Besides pitching all excellent
game, Jim made two hits, driv-
ing in the first Paint Lick tally. !
Harrodsburg did not arrive on
the field until late, which forced
The starting of the game to 3 40
O'Clock. The first inning did not
see a man past first base: In the
second round with enc down big
Coleman, of Harrodsburg, drove
one to left which bounced away
from FIensley for two bases.
Rowan. next up, hit lina drive
TO left which Hensley muffed,
allowing Coleman to score. This
was as far as the visitors got on
the scoring line. Only 80 men
received credit for a time at bat
against Lackey.
Paint Lick opened fire in her
half of the third and showed over
three runs. Hensley sent a
ground ball toward Sutherland
which he booted. Patrick was
good for single to left, which
put Hensley on second. Jim |
Lackey drove safely to right,
sending Hensley across the plate
and Patrick to third. Lackey
took second on the throw-in and
scored with Patrick when Row,
an threw wild to first or John
Lackey's grounder. This was
enough but to be on the safe side
Paint Lick added another i'll the
fifth and two in the sixth.
Patrick opened the fifth with
a rafting single to left, stole
second and took third on pass
ed ball. John Lackey drove a
clean single to center which sent
Patrick cantering over the pan.
In the sixth Simp Rogers drop
ped a safe one in left. He went
to second on Duerson's safety to
left and scored on Wards Texas
Lacquer to the same field, Duer-
son taking second. Jim Lackey's
single filled the bases. On John
Lackey's out at first Duerson
crossed the plate with Paint
Lick's sixth and last run which
was quite enough. Wards hit
in this inning finished Powers
and Eddie Rowan. of Danville,
finished the game for Harrods-
burg.
