FRANCESVILLE VS. MONON A* HOT GAME WITH TWO THOUSAND 6SPECTATORS.a5cdThe big base ball game between Francesville and Monon is now a mat*! ter of history and the score reads something like this: [ AFrancesville 7. j P! Monon 13. j ai lt;i The game started off with Frances-! ville cutting up frightfully, for truth-i \; fully speaking they had reached the j e | tally board 5 times while Monon got i d ! but two up to the 5th inning. Two I Pi |• of these scores the visitors' made onii a bad decision of Umpire Healy, call-1 *i ing a fowl a fair ball. We are not • ocriticising Editor Healy, for this I s| little oversight, but just stating that, e ■ he sometimes during the game seem- j F ed a little frustrated, and his “flust-' h i erings” caused him to make very rank j a decisions. He managed, however to : make them for both sides. j eiWhen Monon pinched herself and j £ came too, after her visitors had } Tlooped-the-looped five times, she | ®started in using the hickory and j ^rounded out a' few scores. It was « a hinted around the edged that it would j n have been an easy undertaking to j ^ have used up the entire lot of chalk j d but Francesville being our near and j P good neighbors on the north and a j c | fine bunch of “live ones’’, they refused i to carry it passed the 13 mark.| People and vehicles interferred with ^ ; the playing considerable, but w'hen ; 2,000 fans in attendance without seats for them is considered, the j crowd is to be complimented for its good behavior and its excellent ^intentions of staying behind the line. j ^ This game had been on the minds of the ball lovers for several I weeks past, and a good many conver- ^| satious v ere had, meetings held and j ^ i thoughts exchanged to make possibleinPtlslt;sitibofor their side to win.The following is the official record:MononABRHBBEFoust, If ......, . . 41110Craig, 3b .....42310McDonald, ss ..o1122Briggs, lb ....42302Smith, 2b......41111Wolf, c .......51100Crosier, p......... 49*-lt;101McIntosh cf... 42301Burroughs, rf .51200Total .....37131666FrancesvilleABRHBBEP.
