WIN OPENERAT MIDWAY PARKWeariog the sears of many a victorious struggle that old, time-honored ship of State, the North Vernon Reds, was launched into the season of 1907, at Midway Park, Sunday. Other institutions come and go, but the one undying institution of Old Jennings is its ball team, which has flourished since^ the days of the old champion Modoes, in the early 70’s down to the present time. The older citizens still remind us of the feats accomplished by the gladiators that represented the team in the earlier history of the game, and which sent the late Harry Smith ter the ChicagoVWhite Stockings; of how they need to bat the curves of Tom Ramsey, who later became the greatest pitcher of his time, and who to this day holds the “Big League” strike-out record for the number of strikeouts in one game.It is hard to convince them that«the game has advanced since that time, but anyhow there are today almost a dozen of the boys playing professional ball in the different leagues throughout the country that were educated in the local school of diamond play, Sunday’s opening could not have been more auspicious.

Albert Seig, of Bedford, a protege ofDon Davis says you need a blood purifier. Why? Because everyone needs one in the spring. Take his New Century Blood Purifier which be makes himself—50c andSenator Brolley, was given a trial $1.00; money back if you want it.on the rubber, and substantiated $11 the nice things that have been said about him. He was supported by young Watson, of Greensburg, who subbed for a few games last year. He showed improvement in his work, but is a little light and does not get the ball away as quickly as he should. Frank Cassia’s work at thijd was easily the feature of the game; the manner in which he gathered in some hard drives and got the ball across the diamond was nothing short or sensational. Rolla Derringer wa9 not far behind him; his fast, snappy playing around the short field, with his hard and aconrate throwing, was pleasing to look at. These boys are not comers—they are here. Walker was in his old position at second, while Hutchings cohere ithe initial corner, where he will prove a tower of strength. Doyle was back in left; Ernest *Klingner was tried out in center, where he is soon to make good on account of his batting if nothing else.

Siod-erbeck, of last year’s Marion Owls, will also be given some work. The Norwood boys presented about the same lineup as they had here last fall, when they traveled under the name of the Eagles. On that occasion Harry Cordes, the tall, blonde pitcher for the Northside boys, held the Reds to three hits, but got the nothing end of a 2-0 pitchers’ battle with Forrest More. He has everything that a good twirler should have—curves, change of pace, perfect control and, best of all, a good head. That the Reds got to him for eight clean hits, including three doubles, shows that the team is sure to show some batting strength. The locals took the lead in the first inning, scoring on a hit, a steal and an error. The visitors got their only runs in the third on a pair of fumbles, a little bad judgement and a single. The Reds tied it up in their half, and from that on to the sixth it was a pretty battle, when Kling-ner’s doable to left sent over the Winning run. Doyle’s single past third scored two more in the eighth, but they were not needed as the Bedford boy, backed up by some fast infielding, was at all times master of the situation.
