EAGLES DROP MUNCIE IN FAST ENCOUNTER; FITZGIBBONS SHINES

By R. R. REID With Cy Fitzgibbons running bases like the veteran, Tyni3 Cobb, the Eagles emerged triumphant from the encounter with, the Mnncie Athletics

at Exhibition park Sunday, by the count of 6 to 2. The speedy Cy not

only ran wild on the bases, but he

pulled down two big bids for hits into right field and threw out a runner at

third with a perfect peg. To further his glory, Cy connected for two timely

singles during the game, ,

Mental attitude played a big part in the winning of the game by the

Eagles. They were all more or less

?ncourased with the presence of

"Rus" Hawekotte on the mound and

worked hard behind the diminntive right hander, just returned home from a long stay with the Farmland nine.

Veteran Player Stars.

Opening the game for Muncie, the

right fielder. King, crashed out a lucky double to right. He planted himself

folid with the home fans with his good-natured attitude. The fact of the matter was that Sunday's game was the first one in which he had played

for a solid year. Instead of becoming

aggravated at the "riding" by the fans

he kidded back and everything went

fine for him.

French, a former Eagle for a day, then sacrificed the runner along and Mohonev broueht the tally in with a

blow to left, which was mussed up by Hewitt. Hawekotte then settled down and got the, next two batters, the first going out by the J. Logan to Byrkett route, and the other by the well known btrike-out route. Eagles Even Up. However, things were evened up in the Eagle half of the inning, and the fans felt considerably more comfort ?.ble. Fitzgibbons led off with his first single of the game, Logan fanned, Minner walked, but Byrkett forced Minner out at second on a fielder's choice. The run made by Fitzgibbons was timely, as Henges flied out to center for the third out. The visitors took a lead in the second which looked good to stand for awhile when Hawekotte walked Huhn, Morrett sacrificed, and the rnuner came in on the next out, made by Williams. Elliott then fanned for the side-retiring run. This was all of the Muncie scoring, although they had runners on base in most of the succeeding innings.' A fourth inning rally brought the home club into the lead by adding

two runs. Byrkett was out, G. Elliott to Huhn. Henges fanned. Queer to

say. the Eagles scored their tallies after two men were down. Knight

slneled to center. Hubbard hit a

scratch down the third base liae, but

nil runners were safe. At this time;

Manager Ashenfelter must have had a

eood hunch, for he sent iuDai.Ks m

to bat for Hewitt and the former con

nected for a clean single past secona base, which brought in both runners. It was an example of real production ty a pinch-hitter. Score Three in Fifth

Three more runs came in the fifth,

and then all the sconng was over.

Fitzeibbons was safe on an error by

Morrett. Logan sacrificed him along

tn second, but the Muncie first sacker

was not up on his game, for the speedy Cy kept on going and reached third in eood shape. Minner sacrificed the

runner in. Byrkett walked. Henges

was safe on an error by G. Elliott at third, and Hubbard brought th- two runners in with a hot eingle o left, after Knight had walked, filling the bases. Eubanke was out, Morrett to Huhn. The game was just the same as sewed-up, for the hurling of Hawekotte was up to the minute in the pinches. Remarkable to say, the Eagle rallies in the fourth and fifth inning- came after two men were down. Just show3 a bit of batting ability in the pinch. Muncie Hurler Strong Pitcher Elliott, for Muncie, had a mighty hard ball, but when the Eagle batters did get hold of one, it traveled eood and far. Hawekotte was

touched for the only extra base bits of

the game. King and Williams were the collectors of a two base blow aDiece.

With the brand of ball which was

shown ty the locals in this game

fans will be assured of eom real

exhibitions in the future. Eaton. Ohio,

will play on the local diamond Sunday afternoon and the Connersville Minute-Men will be the opposing team

hpre on the following Monday, Labor

day.

LIBERTY, Ind., Aug.28. Liberty

was enabled to defeat the Rushville

Tail Lights here Sunday afternoon

behind the excellent pitching of Jones.

a new man. Although the score was 12 to 4, the game was far more interesting than the score would indicate.

Liberty fielded cleanly throughout

the entire nine innings, having only

one error chalked up against the play

ers. A sensational running catch by Carey, Liberty left fielder and the bunching of hits by the home club, were the features of the game.

Bennett and Joyce, of the Rushville

nine, were the collectors of the long

est hits of the game, each man getting

a triple.

Reb Russell, known to the home folks back in Albany, Miss., as Ewell

A. Russell, is rounding out his first

season for the Pittsburgh Pirates with some colossal hitting. He's playing the outfield and batting well over .300. Reb used to flatwheel out to the

box for the Chicago . White Sox and heave left-handers across the pan but into each life some rain must tumble a they say in the classics and . in 1918 there came to Ewell's shell-like ear the roll of melancholy thunder across the plains of fate. A rift in the lute of

packed away in the attic witn the out srown baby brogans.

1 The next we heard of Reb, Minneapolis had given him a tryout in the

box then wafted him to the outfield

He was getting a regular turn at the

bat and was knocking the leatner

bound pellet hither,, thither and yon. In 1920 he caressed the ball for 28 home runs and the year following he

' totaled 33 with a batting average well

over .300; this year he stands out as

one of the Pirates' chief sluggers.

Russell was born in Mississippi and started professional baseball in Texas. He then went to Chicago where he

stayed for five years and arrived in

the Smoky City via Minneapolis. KeD is not an old man and will doubtless

go on for several more years.

Reb Russell is one of the' notable

comebacks of sport history.

MILTON WINS AGAIN BY TRIMMING EATON EATON, Aug. 28. Milton continued on her winning streak by adding a victory over the strong Eaton nine here Sunday afternoon, 2 to 1. It was one of the best games, if not the best, which has been played on the home diamond this season. Featuring the game was the hurling of Kerlin, who struck out 10 batters and was almost invincible in the pinches. He connected for two safe hits in four times at bat, also.

Horseshoe Pitching Fad

Is Growing in Eaton EATON, Ohio, Aug. 2S. The horse

shoe pitching fad is ''catching on" in

Eaton. Courts are springing up in all sections of town and the "stronger sex," young and aged, are laboring faithfully in an effort to become expert at the pastime. Two courts have been established in the rear yard of the Lake drug store by its proprietor, Chase Derbyshire, and they are equipped with electric lights for night playing. Business men and clerks in the vicinity slip away from business at intervals . to pitch- a game or two. It is likely an association will be formed.

NEW PARIS, Aug. 28. In a game featured by a triple play made by the local nine, the Modern Woodmen were defeated Sunday afternoon by New Paris, 3 to 2. It is evident that there has been no other game played on the local diamond which was as nip-and-tuck as this one. Jennings and Reid were the heavy hitters for- New, Paris. The former connected for two doubles and the latter with a triple at most needy times. On the triple play Eubanks flied to Cunningham, who retired a runner at

first unassisted and Kennedy was put

out, Cunningham to Benson, at second
