I-.;se Ball.Now. you UllKLli'l think VVc atr ii :! .'(bout this. H is a sfr.-ui;; e story to I * I, nn«l many will not believe it. hut. nevertheless, it is a fact that iho Uoosiers won a game last Saturday. How it «*amo about doth appear in Lins. N«uv yon ‘'can’t most always sometimes tell” which way the cat is going to jump, hut with the Aurora hoys, this season, it lias .-il-ways jumped tho wrong way. The “Pivs-tons,” of Now Haven, ()., ;i tin*’ look in-; sot of young Tel lows, cam e down on S.it-urdaj', with Iho full determination of extinguishing the base hall lights in this vicinity. From tho way they opened up in the lirst inning, everybody thought they would accomplish it, and tho wav they knocked that hall around that fb-ld was a caution. The very lirst man at tln hat madi* a clean home run, and thlt;»s« that followed him larruped the leathern globe in such a torrilic manner that Hoosier” stock went away down-—likewise the spirits of the spectators. They kept up this fun until they had made six runs when the side was retired. Moran made a run for thr Iloosi»rs in this inning which was ail they secured until th** third, when they made three more. At the end of tho sUih inning the* score stood nine to ten in favor of the Prestons. In the seventh inning the Aurora hoys began to play in earnest, and pounded the hall rather lively, making seven runs.— Well, to make ft long story short,-U\e. lloosiers, by superior playing in the last two innings, defeated them. The following is the score by innings:Innings......1 2 H 5 0 7 8 -9% Prestons......0 1 2 1 0 0 0 2 0—\'ZHoosiors......1 0 3 0 1 I 7 1 3-20Base hits—Prestons 9, Hoosiers 13. Two-base hits—Meyers 1, Cady 1, Moran 1, Truitt 1.Home runs—Meyers 1.Umpire—Geyer, of Lawrcnceburgh.The Prestons seemed to be a very clever “sot” of young men, and we hope to see them here again before the season is over. They play the Lawreneoburgh * ers again on Saturday next.
