A. C. nine, at Bellmont Park yesterday afternoon, by a score of 8-5. The score was tied at 5 all when Buffenbarger came to bat in the eighth. The hit was an easy double, but Buffenbarger tried to stretch it into a triple and was caught at third. Tho game was interesting all the way through. A big feature of the contest was the pitching of Shady, the Legion twirler. He struck out 14 batters, allowed 9 hits and walked two during the game. Hitefield pitched a good game for Huntington. also, striking out 7 men, but tho locals bunched hits when needed. Better and Shady were tho big clubbers for the Legion, each getting three hits out of tour times at bat. The Legion, players collected a total of 14 hits. The size of the crowd was somewhat disappointing to the management of the Legion team, but it is thought that the attendance will bo better when the local fans learn that the Legion is placing a first class team in the Held. The locals will play a team representing one of the fire stations in Fort Wayne, on the Bellmont Park diamond next Thursday afternoon, immediately following the firemen’s parade. Following is the summary of yesterday's game: DECATUR AB R H E Numbers, ss 5 11 2 Coffee, c 5 11 d Buffenbarger, 3b 5 0 2 0 Baxter, lb 11 1 0 Cockran, lb 4 0 1 111 Frauhiger, 2b 5 11 Oi Engle, rs 4 2 1 IE Detter, if 4 13, 0| Lankenau, cf 4 0 <> 0, Shady, p 4 1 3 01 Totals 41 8 14 3 HUNTINGTON AB R H E Clark, ss 5 1 0 1 Stouder, if 4 11 0 Griffith, lb 4 0 1 1| Smith. 2b 4 0 0 0 Newell, cf 4 2 2 0 Brohs, c 4 11 1, Strangler. 3b 4 0 2 0 Humbert, rs 4 0 1 0 Hitefield, c 4 0 1 0 Totals .. 37 5 9 3 Decatur 0 4 0 0 1 0 0 3 x—B| Huntington 3 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 o—s0 —5 Struck Out —by Shady 14, by Hite, field 7; bases on balls —off Shady 2, off Hitefield 5; hit by pitcher, by Shady 3. o ‘■DARKTOWN STRUTTERS" JES’ COULDN'T STRUT ’NUFF AT GENEVA BALL Playing before a throng of over seven hundred and fifty people, the Geneva Boosters kept their slate, clean by handing the Colored Giants; of Fort Wayne the short end of seven to four count at Geneva Sunday afternoon. Although at some periods of the game the fielding was rather loose,l several spectacular catches were I made, and the fact that four doubtel play:- were executed, served to keep ’ the spectators on edge the most of the time. During the severith inning • a heated argument arose over a de-, vision by umpire Briggs, and "Dusty”! Riddles left the field. After several, minutes cf wrangling. Jim Briggs,, curtain cf the Boosters, offered to j hvae umpire's decision reversed in favor of the Giants and the game proceeded from tjien on with neither team being able to push over a runner. Considerable razzing of the umpire was in evidence, which, however was coming mostly from those win had placed their faith in the sons of Hahn and who were reluctant to be pleased at the thoughts of the flight, the splrites of the printed dolls on j their paper bills, was soon to take., Nevil was perhaps the individual star| ol the game making several sensa-,, t onal catches in center field and getting two singles and a home run in four times up. Selden was perhaps the best man on the Giants line-up.. The score by innings; Inning 123456789 R H Giants 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 o—l 10 Boosters ....0 5020 00 0 x—7 8 Batteries—Ford, Johnson and Ran-, sem.
