Before the largest and most select crowd of the season the locals Sunday rasped the visiting Portland Jays In a 5 to 4 game, making it two out of three. Incidentally, while we had the squaklng Jays under our feet, plucking 'em for the feast, we appropriated the lead in the I. O. league race, which valued asset the Jays have been wearing for a few days last past. The game was another one of those now-we-arein'the-lead-and-iowvweaint contests up to the last of the fifth, when Stokes Weaver, the pride of the Quaker bugs, stepped to the pan and promptly smote the horse hide over right field fence for a home run. This feat won the game. The spectacle which followed Weaver's biff hal all the stage mob scenes backed off the boards and relegated to the forgotten past. Wild eyed sun gods actually hugged and kissed each other and excited young women in the grand stand forgot to ask their escorts what the score was and Inquired the name of the hero. The uproar lasted fully five minutes. It was an exciting feature to a most exciting game. Hunt Was Put Out. The other picturesque episode of the contest came in the sixth. Lew Hunt, foreman of the Portland outfit and alleged to be the best twirler in the league, had been working since the klckoff and Lew had been getting his bumps. Lew is not used to bumps and after Weaver's four base tap In the fifth, he became quite peeved. He decided to vent his pent up emotions on some enemy so he picked out Umps Thompson for the goat. Mr. Thompson is really not a goat he Is a joke. Lew's opportunity came in the sixth. Jonas Brambaugh poled a hot one over third bag and Fisher seized the opportunity to make another one of his Barnum and Bailey plays. The liner was speared by Fisher with his gloved hand and then Tacks transferred the ball to his throwing fin and heaved it to first, catching Jonas by an eye lash. With a roar Hunt descended on Thompson and smote him loudly in the countenance. Lew had decided that It was better to be canned from the game than to be driven out under fire. The Umps soaked him $3, gave him a ten-day layoff and then attached the slelghbells. Lew retired to the club house where Casey Horn locked him in. Romalne succeeded Hunt and pitched excellent ball to the finish. Fleming's Good Work. Nat Fleming was in the box for the locals. It was the fifth game in the last eight days that the little fellow had worked In. He pitched a splendid article of ball and moved up another notch in the estimation of the local fans. Nat was tapped hard in the early stages of the game but after the fifth he set the air brakes on the visitors and allowed only one hit. Portland made one run in the third on an error after Parker had hit for two bases. In our half of the third Bitter got his base, Wiltermood singled and Weaver drew transportation. Morris poled a stanger through Stewart and Ritter and Wiltermood then scored. Morris and Weaver worked the double steal gag and Stokes slid over the pan. In the fourth Durham and Carmony got on bases and Morris missed Hardin's high fly ball bringing homo the two base runners. In our half of this inning Minzler scored after singling. In the first of the fifth Portland tied the score again, Parker singling and counting on Grey's two bagger. In onr half of the

HENRY COUNTY BOYS PROMISING PLAYERS Hickman and Dishman .of the Cambridge Grays Have Bright Futures. SUGGESTED FOR QUAKERS. DUBLIN SPORTING WRITER SAYS HICKMAN IS JUST THE MAN CAPTAIN JESSUP NEEDS AT FIRST BASE. Dublin. Ind., Aug. 19. In Charley Hickman (not he of national repute) and Fredy Dishman, first sacker and catcher respectively of the Grays, and both Henry county boys, this vicinity has undoubtedly two of the grandest young ball tossers that ever graced an amateur ball lot. Both of these young men, when In their uniforms on the ball field, are splendid specimens of physical manhood. They are built just right for a perfect ball player. They are nearly of the same height and weight, I should judge, "Hicky" probably being the heaviest of the two. The minute they step out into the diamond one is able to discern that they are players of ability. Not only are they ordinary players, but they are alround players and can play any position in the field, run the bases like scared deer and lambast the ball out of the lot. Woe be unto the ball fiinger who faces these two sluggers for they "speak softly .and carry a big stick," the latter for use in knocking the opposing twirlers out of the box. It has been predicted that "Tick" Conner would some day become a great pitcher. The statement has also been made that "Germany Shiverdecker the Bradford, O., boy is worthy of a try out with Jessup's Quakers. Next the writer desires to assert that Hickman and Dishman are ready and ripe for a trial with any team on a par with the I. O. league teams. Hickman at first, not reflecting on the ability of Hicks, the Quaker's newfirst sacker. Is just what the Quakers are looking for. He is a fielder par excellence and a batter of no mean ability. He knows the game. He runs the bases. He is reliable. In all of the games in which I have seen him at work this season I have yet to record an error for him. He takes them high or low at the left or right and has a bird of a throwing wing. At the bat he compells the pitcher to put the ball over the pan to his liking and does not swing at bad ones. He stands up to the plate like a natural batsman and seems to have plenty- ot confidence in. bis

GRAYS TRIUMPHED OVER CEHTEHVILLE

West End Game Leaves Cambridge City Team Claiming Championship. THE SCORE WAS 12 TO 2. BUT FOR ONE "FATAL" INNING THE CONTEST WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE BEST OF THE SEASON. Cambridge City, Ind.. Aug. 19. Have the Grays any more contenders for the amateur championship of this vicinity? If so just let them amble towards the "alfalfa" end of the county, for the mighty foe, namely the Centerville "would-be's" have been met and are now numbered with the vanquished. Gone and soon to be forgotten by the fans in their mad joy over other triumphs. The Centervillians, now a mere joke but once looked upon by the populace of the west end as formidable rivals, defeat and humiliation stamped upon their weary and disappointed visages, bundled up their belongings and sought their habitations in Center township, taking with them their exploded phenom, Mr. Tibbitts, after spending a hours digging in the debris of base hits and runs which swooped down upon their pet twirler like an avalanche in the fatal sixth. What was the score? Hush, don't say it too loud, else you will disturb the peaceful revery of Centerville folks with your whisperings it was 12 to 2. It would have been so sad to have been compelled to say 12 to 0 but this would have been the case had not Brenner wabbled on Gllmour's effort in the fourth and "Dubby" Paul dropped a fly off Davis' bat in the eighth. There was nothing to it but the splendid pitching of the clever German lad from Bradford. He held the "blue jays" to seven singles, two of these being of the scratch variety. He caused six of his opponents to whif at the atmosphere and gobbled up five assists. But one put out was registered In the out field, the balance being pop-ups and easy grounders. But the game the least said o'f it the better. It was "punk", rotten and any other old thing you are a mind to call it. Errors and dumb playing galore characterized the work of both teams. Not to be outdone by the ball tossers, the "limps' thought to contribute their share to the "bum" work by making miserable decisions all through the game. To say the least, the umpiring yesterday was tne worst seen here this season. Jot Goar, erstwhile famous league curve dispenser of the Cincinnati Reds, "umped" about as well as he played at first some time ago! Vanderbeck was clearly out in the first when. he was hit by a fair ball batted by himself. Stratton essayed to act as "ump" in conjunction with Goar but he was a dismal failure and was relieved after the eighth. Centerville came loaded to the guards with home rooters. They made plenty of noise. The score stood a tie in the sixth and Centervijle confidently expected to see their pets put over the winning scores. However, the fire works happened to be in the hands of the other fellow and about that time the Grays began shooting sky-rockets. Incidentally Phenom Tibbitts, made a balloon ascension. When the smoke of the battle had passed into the horizon, the Grays had raced 10 scores across the pan. driving out 9 bingles off his "Tid-blts." His team went to pieces with him and likewise took a view of the landscape from aloft, piling up 6 of their 8 errors in this Inning. Then "Tibby" was chased and lanky Harry Ryan went in the box in his stead. He did not do so bad but the Grays counted once more in the eighth. Shiverdecker was not hit hard and the few hits off him were scattered. He fielded his position In fine style and never, at any time was he in tlf; least danger of defeat. The Centerville team up to that "fatal sixth" showed plenty of ginger. In the first it took the field on the run and played good ball until the Cambridge City, sluggers got in their work on Tibbitts. In fact, if that one inning could be stricken from the score book it would show that the visitors put up a splendid game. Their team does not show much talent but Davis and Ryan appear to be fair. Tibbitts has fair speed and a pretty drop ball and is probably the making of a good pitcher. Jones, his receiver, is also a natty catcher. ability to hit the ball. After "Hick" has been at bat the outfielders borrow a bicycle to go after the ball. Dishman although not the slugger that Hickman is, Is a very clever player. He does not get as many long hits as does Hickman but be Is a reliable hitter and as a usual thing gets his share of the bingles during the game. Just now he is working behind the bat for the Grays and catches a nice game. He is better adapted to the infield, where he Is reasonably steady. He also has a splendid whip. At the bat he is a good waiter and Is very clever at getting his base by being hit by the pitcher. Have you noticed the improved serfIce to Chicago via the C, C. & L.?

PLAYER IS OVERCOME; HEAT AHD EXERTION Frank Gilmore, Richmond Boy, Taken Sick. BROUGHT TO HIS HOME.

Cambridge City, Ind., Aug. If) During the big game at Capitol Hill park Sunday afternoon, Frank Gilmore of Richmond, who plays right field for the Centerville club, was overcome by heat accompanied by a reaction of the heart, as the result of a severe strain (received by batting, and it was neces sary for Dr. W. R. Little to administer a hypodermic injection to restore him to consciousness. The sick man was taken to the side of the grounds where the physician worked over him for several minutes before he regained consciousness. He was taken home last evening. BASEBALL GOSSIP.
