The denizens of the Martin town had bceome imbued with the idea that Manager Cushing had constructed a base ball machine that could smash to smithereens the outposts of the Sprudels and larrup the main army without evn the loss of a hair. Taylor smiled when he heard of the approach of the enemy and was kind enough to a friend in Chicago to loan him the services of his brother, Ben Taylor, star first sacker, thereby weakening the West Baden crowd.The Glassworkers entered tlie diamond sure of victory and the first game resulted: Sprudels 4, Glassworkers, 0. ’Twas a sad message but the Western Union mixes the bitter with the sweet. The second gamewas played and it resulted: Sprudels 10, Glassworkers 6. The press dispatches complimented the Glassworkers—said they were a husky lot and gave promise of winning a game some day—and incidentally it was ad-ded that the closing game would be ^ played Friday afternoon and that the w betting was three to one in favor of es tile Sprudels. Taylor was playing fl with the Glassworkers as does a cat Vl with a mouse after worrying it for half an hour. The Friday game went ^ on. The result: Sprudels 20, Loo-gootee 0.French Lick Valley resounded with fl biffs and smashes that told the story ^ right off the bat. The hills about served only to bring back the echo of the terrible drives that ended only '\7hen the fence interferred. We can hear that man Bingham out in right letting; loose that yell made famous by the Democrats during the campaign of 1888 when the crow of the rooster was heard at every corner, and we can see him grab a handful of grass and send it sailing into the air, we can see that school master down at short making signs to his comrade to charge the breast works of the enemy and plant the flag of Pluto upon the upper pinnacle, to say nothing of the screeches of McMurray and O’Neill with, “You folks don’t know the game!”—John T. Harris in Washington Herald.h
