IN THE DLISF” Trails Bluffton’s Base Ball Banner Tnree Games—Three Victories—Three Cheers for Old Decatur. What happened at Steele’s Park yesterday to Bluffton was a caution, two games being taken from them by the Rosenthals and the three games’ of the series have been annexed to the winning side of rhe local team. Bluftton came to the park with a determination in their hearts and big bludgeons in their hands. They were slaughtered w t lout mi toy. the chi if vic inis of the carnage being Ertel and Billiter. Billiter was mortally wouned early in the first contest, but Ertle was a bit tougher and resisted the blood hued Rosenthals. Ertle, too, nevertheless,was hit in the fourth inning in the second game and was ready for the tall timlier. Two games had been scheduled to lx? played and were played as near as could be, under the existing circumstances, rain breaking up the first game at the end of the fifth inning, the score then being seven to their get some. While the second game was played in mud ankle deep it resulted in an easy victory for the Rosenthals by a score of fifteen to lour. The second game resembled a Spanish bull fight more than an exhibition of the National game the Biufftonites being assigned the role of the bulls and the Rosnthals acted as toradors. Ins ead of using a keen edged sword for the coup de grace, however, the Rosenthals ,nsed their heavy bats which action was fully appreciated by the fans who sat patiently throughout the threatening weather viewing with supreme indifference the demise of the victims. Some idea of what happened must have occurred to the fans after the first two innings in which a combination of bases on balls, two base hit and several singles brought in nine runs.

Biersdorfer a young man who hails from Berne essayed tot pitch for the Rosenthals and it may be said for Bluffton that it was a sorry day when he was introduced 11 them as time after time ho forced the heavy hitters from Bluffton to swat the ozone until the air was blue from their efforts to connect with the sphere. He ran his total of strike outs up to sixteen, a very rare feat. SUNDAY’S GAME 1 2 8 4 5 6 7 8 9 R.H.E.
