“B.unny’s” error gave the Glasswork-ers their only run but lie certainly made up for it later on. EverythingIthat came his way was gone, just the same as if it had fallen into a forty acre pond and his throws thereafter4to first were accurate. He took somedifficult chances beautifully andplayed all around Gill, the alleged •‘bolster” from Kokomo.John B. Stotts and Ron Boyd, two. loyal Odon rooters, came down from j Odon along with a couple of automobile loads and rooted for the Grays. Their prediction came true. When they saw the Grays clean up onOdon a week ago Sunday they said%the Grays would have 110 trouble in beating the Loogootee team if itplayed the regular lineup.Will K. Penrod lost his voice completely when the Grays took two runs in the last half of the third. Previous to that time Penrod had been the busiest rooter among the whole Loogootee delegation, but he went limp along with the rest of the Martin county boys and apparently was dead from that time on, so far as noise was concerned.Harry Strange was Loogootee’s official tabulator. Harry’s eyes were so blurred after the third inning that he could hardly see to record the score.Lawrenceville comes again next Sunday. This is the second game this season with Lawrenceville. The first was a hummer and the secondpromises to tfe just as good.Sunday’s game attracted baseballenthusiasts from all parts of southern Indiana. Loogootee and Washington both have enviable reputations and the game proved a greatdrawing card. There was a large number came over from Vincennes i and left their own dear Alices to ! fight it out with Cairo. One Vin-! cennes man said that he believed more came over from Vincennes to see the game here than remained to see the league game in their home towrn. We had visitors from Evansville, Princeton, Hazelton, Vincennes, Lawrenceville, Odon, Linton and also representatives from every little hamlet in Martin and Daviess counties.Some were saying that Williams outpitched Sisson. They evidently were judging from the number of strikeouts. Williams got twelve and Sisson got eleven. The strikeouts were even up until the very last inning but Williams struck out twoWashington batters the last timethey came to bat while Sisson got only one 011 Loogootee’s last turn.But take a glance at the hits and runs and then remember that Sisson never once weakened or showed a. yellow streak while Williams went high-flying in the third and let the Grays get three hits in that frame, and then decide for yourself which pitched the better game. If you are fair you can’t help but give Sisson the best of it. Before the game Captain Hicks tried out both Sisson and Mayerhoff. Standing behind the two men Hicks “looked ’em over” and selected the young Hazelton boy and bis confidence was not misplaced.You have to hand it . to Gill for keeping the Grays from scoring in the sixth. A lucky one handed stab of Edmondson’s low fly stopped the locals. Smith lead off in the seventh with a single and was advanced to second by Hicks’ sacrifice to Williams. Edmondson rapped the ball and it started to fall back of shortstop. It looked like a clean hit and Smith started home from second but Gill succeeded in getting under the ball in time and stabbed it with one hand and threw Smith out at second retiring the side. It was a pretty play.Sisson did not have the support back of him Sunday that he had aweek ago when he pitched against«Odon.- Three errors were charged against the Grays. Smith made a bad overthrow, Stewart muffed a fly and an error was given Edmondsontat first. There is some question asto whether this last one should be•charged or not. Haig reached first on balls. Sisson threw to first to catch him off the base and he would have been put out easily had not Edmondson dropped the hall. Haig regained first safely and because it was a chance for a putout the scorers gave “Bud” an error. There -would have been no question about charging him with an error if'Haig had advanced a base on the error hut he did not.Here’s what did the work. A single by Bryant, a single by Sisson and then a single by' Hicks, two runs,great cheers. ./i __/The Grays /made a pretty doublesituation. Bland got on with a single. McKinney struck out and Haig pounded out a hot grounder to Smith who scooped it up quickly and doubled Bland at second and Haig at first.Laws and Hume* put up the best i brand of umpiring ever seen at Woodlawn. Not once was there a rumpus over the umpire’s decision.Britton, who pitched such a splendid game for the Odon White Sox against the Washington Grays June 7th, was on the mound Sunday for the Hymera team, which defeated Brazil 1 to 0. He didn’t allow a hit.Bieknell defeated Lawrenceville Sunday in an eleven inning game, 3 to 2.Odon defeated the Linton Eagles in a fast game Sunday, score 3 to 1. Linton played an errorless game and got ten hits off Asa Williams.The crows of fans that roosted on the fence reminds one of the song, “There were three crows sat on atree and they were as hot, as hot could be.” The only difference is there were about a thousand fans that resorted to the fence roost.A large delegation attended thegame from Odon and lent valuableassistance to the local bugs along*the rooting line.*The crowds in the bleachers and grandstand probably thought they were at “The Devil’s Ball” before the game was completed. Every inch of seating space was occupied and Old Sol was shining so as to make things feel like the torrid zone. A little thing like the heat didn’t matter, so long as Washington won.Kids that witnessed the game were the most adapted to securing good seats. Every tree in the park had at least five or ten boys perched in the topmost branches.There was probably no fan on the grounds so excited when Washington scored the two runs in the third inning as Prank Blackwell. It is said that Frank made away with several Derbys. that were perched on heads near him by the frantic motions he went through.In the fourth inning a call was sent to the grandstand to know if Ed Payne was in the ‘audience. Some enthusiastic rooter immediately responded, “Loogootee has a ‘pain.’ ”The most enthusiastic rooter for Loogootee was Will K. Penrod of the Martin County Tribune. Mr. Penrod went into ecstacies when the Glassworkers scored the first run and said in a relieved tone, “Well, that saves us from a shut-out anyway.”It is not only the fact that Washington has a winning team that makes the fans happy. The other thing is that the players are of good character and have a pleasing personality. There is nothing betterthan to see two teams of young men*/opposing each other in the National game and fighting every inch of the ground w'hen a friendly spirit exists between the players.Experiences Of Washington Citizens Are Easily Proven To Be Facts.ment from a resident of Washington will prove that the following statement fro ma resident of Washington is true. Read it and compare evidence from Washington people with testimony from Washington people with testimony of strangers living so far away you cannot investigate the facts of the case. Many more citizens of Washington endorse Doan’s Kidney Pills.Charles Ragsdale, 16 east Oak street, Washington, Ind., says: “Iwas troubled a great deal by disordered kidneys. I began the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills and they relieved me so greatly that I gave a public statement telling what theyhad done for me. I now confirm allI then said, as I still have great confidence in Doan’s Kidney Pills. Irecommend this remedy to myfriends at every opportunity.”rMr. Ragsdale is only one of many Washington people who have gratefully endorsed Doan’s Kidney Pills.
