One and One Tie in Five Game Series Between Chillicothe and Henry
The Chillicothe and Henry teams remained tied in the five game series after a chaotic Sunday in Chillicothe. Manager Krieg sought Big Leaguers from several western leagues, but an misplayed fly ball in the second inning and umpire calls favored Chillicothe. Henry notes the game as a tough but fair loss and Krieg vows to field the Yelle battery next Sunday. Also reported is the death of W. H. Mutton, a long-time Whitefield Township resident and Civil War veteran, with funeral services held at the M. E. church. He is survived by his wife Alma and son Hiram R. Mutton.
