HUFF SPECIALS WIN FAST ICAMEIn one of the fastest games of baseball ever witnessed in Bloomington, the Huff Specials took the colored team, The Sprudels, of West Baden, into camp to the tune of 2 to 1 yesterday. It was a game featured by air tight pitching, and excellent tickling, by both pitchers and teams. Taylor, the slab artist for the Huff Specials allowed only two hits, and Cobb, for The Sprudels, was touched for six hits, but these hits, were all kept well scattered, as the score indicates. For six innings neither side succeeded in getting a man across the plate but in the seventh inning Taylor, for the Specials negotiated a long hit to le/t held, which the fielder let get by. The ball rolled through a hole in the fence and Taylor trotted home, for the first run of the game. In the first hal of the ninth, Taylor walked twomen, and then a single, scored a run ; for t he Sprudels, which tied the score. Shortstop Donaque, for the Specials, smashed out a long hit to the fence, in j the la«t half of the ninth inning, which scored a man on third, and won the game for the Huff Specials. Shortstop Donaque, who recently joined the Specials from the Blue Grass Leaguein Kentucky, is proving a. big asset to the team, both in hitting and fielding ability.The score by innings:fluffs 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1—21Sprudels 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 () 1—1 \Batteries—Taylor and Crowe for Huff Specials; Cobb and Miller for Sprudels.*. «Mrs. John L.
