Rensselaer Helped Monon Defeat Francesville Sunday.

Howard Clark, John Morgan and Lloyd Parks played ball with Motion Sunday and figured in the long end of a 10 to 0 score, Francesville being represented by the goose-fruit cypher. Clark pitched, Morgan played short and Parks occupied the left garden. Clark made the Pulaski county lads look like “men of straw” and struck out 15, while only two safe bingles were made oft his delivery and only 29 men faced him in the 9-inning contest. Clark's portside was in the best of condition and he mixed up his offerings to such an extent that his opponents could never tell what was going to happen. Morgan played a good game at second base .and brought in three of the Monon tallies. Parks had nothing to do in the field, as the other batters could not hit the ball to the outfield. The success Clark is meeting in the box has revived local ball talk and the fact that 35 fans accompanied the players to Monon Sunday afternoon looks encouraging from the standpoint of support.
