G0NNERSV1LLE NINE, BACKED BY 100 FANS, 1IMIIUU LJiULkw ULI LH I Connersville Minute Men, backed by 100 loyal fans, defeated the Richmond Eagle at Exhibition park Sunday aft ernoon, scoring four runs In the third Inning, three In the eighth and one in the ninth, while Richmond was touch ing Frants, Connersville's pitcher, for three hits in the nonth inning for three runs .thus avoiding a shut-out. Final Score Was 8 to 3 Although Farrell, the Minute Men's star pitcher, did not accompany the crock Connersville team to Richmond, Frants filled the -bill unusually -well and the result was that the Eagles could garner but eight hits off his hurling. Frantz cracked out two hits along with his excellent pitching. The Bides were retired In order for the first two innings, but the fatal third proved the "hard luck" Inning for Harmon. Thompson opened the third inning with a grounder to Reddinghaus, who made good the throw to first: Hart reached first on an error by Clements, Miller hit a safety to left field and McKinney clouted out a two-bagger, scoring Hart and Miller. Franz reached first by another error by Clements. McKinney and Franz scored on Riley's fly over short. Hemphill hit into a double play for the side-retiring outs, Minner to Clements to Byrkett Score In Eighth Both teams stepped along on fairly even terms during the next few min utes, but in the eighth frame Con nersville solved Harmon's offerings again and pounded out . three hits, coupled with a base on balls and scored three more runs. Franz was safe on first by popping a fly over short. Riley dropped one over the Miller-Kemper sign in left field, which went for a home run, only after a heat ed argument. Hemnhill utmck out. Herman was safe on first after rolling a neasy one to Harmon, which was too slow to handle. Hemphill was out stealing. Hubbard, Eagle catcher, had the ball In Clements' hands waiting for the runner, j Maynard drew a base on balls, went to Second On Thomnsnn'a e-mnnrfi tn scored on tHart's two-bagger to lef scored on Hat's two-bagger to left field. Ha "died" on second base, fol lowing Miller's strike-out. Only three Richmond batters were fctruck-out by the good hurling of Frantz, but he kept their hits well scattered and received excellent sup port. In several innings, the Eagles failed to bat the ball out of the in field. But two Connersville runners at tempted to pilfer a base. These were vanquished by the throws made by Hubbard, who had the ball In the hands of Clements, Eagle second base man, waiting; for the runner to ad vance each time. . .Frantz Heady Player. Frantz, the little hurler for the Minute-men, probably was the most heady player on the field. Twice he . lobbed the ball over the pan for a strike while an Eagle batter was sleeping. He returned the ball so! quickly that the batter never had a; chance to see the ball, let alone strike 1 at it. This same hurler also pulled an eye-opener in the ninth Inning, when he stole home, following a catch of a foul fly by the Eagle catcher. Harmon should have covered home, instead, the brainy Connersville hurler came romping to the plate with nobody mo lesting him, immediately following the catch made by Catcher Hubbard. The fly drew Hubbard to the left field fence. Frantz was standing on the bag at third base at the time of the catch, therefore his run was fair. Richmond pulled one good doubla play- in the third inning, Minner to Clements to Byrkett. It was speedy an dservea to ugnten me situation. Another famous boner was pulled in the Sunday game. Frantz grounded to Byrkett, drawing the Eagle first base man off first base fully 25 feet. No bodv covered the base. Byrkett was unable to get back to his position with the ball. Frantz was safe. Har mon arrived in time to scare up the dust but he and Byrkett both arrived too late to get the clever Minute-Men hurler. Rally in Ninth. The Eagle rally in the ninth was going too good to be true. tsyrnett was safe on first by an error on the center fielder. Clements advanced him to second by a single to left field. Eubanks popped to the second base man for the first out. Minner ground ed to Maynard, who muffed it, and Byrkett and Clements came romping home. Hubbard got a Texas leaguer over short, which scored Minner. J. Logan batted for Harmon, but the best which could be done was a grounder to Maynard at short which resulted in a double-play. The largest crowd of the season wit nessed the game. The Eagles are slat ed to meet the Connersville team at the latter city next Sunday. ine score. Connersville.

The cobs Bcored one In the final frame and tie game was over. Markle was charged with losing the game because the score was tied when he took the mound. Cactus Keck didn't have the same sting, with which he hopped on the Cubs at Cincinnati in their recent se ries, but he held his own with the Cub ace, Alexander, who went the entire route. Jake Daubert kept up his good work for the lively Reds with four bingles out of as many trips to the plate. The veteran cavorted about first base like, a youngster.

The winning team scored two runs in the eighth inning which tied the score and produced the decisive tally for the game. The feature of the game was the pitchers duel, which pre vailed throughout the contest. Only four hits were garnered off Worley's delivery, for Eldorado, but Phillips burg got the breaks when the losing pitcher passed two men. Eldorado touched Boone for five hits and received two bases on balls, but all these factors of the game were scattered, and the visiting team car ried away the honors in the eighth frame.

The two teams played on fairly even terms for four more innings, but . in the eighth the New Paris pitcher, Shurte, was touched for numerous hits, and before the inning was over the Lew isburg runners had tallied 12 times. Shurte, a one-arm pitcher, held his own until the fatal eighth inning, and then gave way. New Paris had no other pitcher and was handicapped.

"'Sail right with me" replies Branch. And in about that fashion that latest big league trade was put over. Be tween the morning and afternoon games at Chicago decoration Day Man ager Branch Rickey of the Cardinals and Boss Bill Killefer of the Cubs agreed to trade, even Stephen, Max Flack, Cub centerfielder. and Clifton Heathcote, Card rightfielder. Both men changed unis between games. Flack is a real vet. Heathcote is playing bis fourth season in the ma jors. -He was signed by the Cards in 1917 while starring with the Penn State team. The Cards gave him a brief tryout and then fanned him to Houston on May 9, 1918. The next month they called him back. The fol lowing season he became one of their regular outfielders. He played in 114 games that year, 133 the next end 62 last season. His hitting never has been" spectacular which may account for the little limelight he has drawn. But he is a nifty fielder and a good man to have on a ball club. He was born in Glenn Rock, Pa., Jan. 24, 1899. He bats and throws left handed but doesn't think that way. A political rally was being held in a large hall in London. The speaker was a man who had a rather weak voice and similar political policies, IAE5 A man In the gallery cupped his hands behind his ears in a vain effort to hear, then shouted: "01 cawn"t 'ear! Oi cawn't 'ear!" . Another man, sitting in front of the platform, rose to his feet and shouted back: "Yo cawnt 'ear? Well, thank 'eaven, and sit down!" Number threel Ruth hit bis third circuit drive with Ward and Miller on bases on the fifth inning of Sunday's game with Philadelphia. Now he's only 11 behind Williams, of St. Louis. Queer! The Reds lost a game. Chicago rushed one run across in the "life-saving" inning Sunday and won 6 to 5. Cactus Keck was galloping along with Alexander in the fray, but his support wobbled for a time and cost him a defeat The defeat, how ever, was charged to Markle, who re lieved Keck when the score was tied. The Reds were to take on the Wash ington club at Akron Monday after noon in an exhibition game. Say, Richmond fans, we are sorry that we promised to have Farrell Connersville's star hurler, for the game with the Eagles Sunday. But, on the square, he was supposed to come. Anyway, Franz filled his shoes well too well. It's a wonder that Ha'-, left fielder for the Connersville MinuLc Men, did not break his neck in Sunday's game He backed up for a long fly hit by Herby Logan, and just as the ball hit his glove he dropped backward into the ditch this side of the Miller Kemper sign. It looked like he was hurt seriously, but all of a sudden he appeared with the ball still in his glove. Can you imagine a game with but four put-outs at first base? It was done Sunday at Indianapolis, when Covington was credited with that num ber in the game with Columbus. LYNN AGES PLAY ROUND FOUNTAIN LYNN, June 5. Lynn Aces opened their season here Sunday by defeating Fountain City by the lop-sided score of 16 to 0. The Aces pounded three New Paris pitchers for 24 hits during the game. Six errors by the losing team were costly and resulted in the Lynn runners scoring frequently. Jones, pitching for Lynn, held the Fountain batters to six hits and was effective throughout the contest. The Aces scored in he first inning, pushing two runs across the pan before the side-retiring out was made. Two more crossed the plate in the third, four in the fifth, and eight in the eighth.

It seemed, -as the 1921 regular season faded beyond the horizon of time, that Ruth, must dominate and reign for many years to come. Yet almost from that hour Ruth has Ibeen on the downgrade in public es teem and as the days flit onward his rash actions, one after another, make the downfall more precipitate. He reached the crest after years of trying; stood upon a mountain higher than any ball player ever reacnea De fore. And then conceit wrecked his equilibrium; the idol of yesterday be comes but common clay. Ruth was a million dollar asset of the Yanks not so long ago. He was in a position to write his own contract But Ruth no longer is worth the price of a Mng's ransom; and, unless all signs fail, it'll be the club owners, not Ruth, who will dictate the terms of 1923. Starts Own Trouble The slugger started the trouble him self. He defied the laws of baseball and went barnstorming last fall be cause, thinking he was greater than the game Itself, he figured he could get away with anything he tried. To his sorrow and certainly to his own as tonishment he discovered that he was very much subject to league discipline. Ruth was fined and suspended until May 20th. All through the weeks of enforced layoff, Ruth did little more than loaf. He was fat flabby greatly overweight. He might have spent his leisure hours in training down so that he would be fit to give his club the best he had when finally he got back. He did noth ing of the sort "Wait until Babe gets back and then the Yanks will get so far out in front a streak of lightning won't catch 'em." was the chorus in New York from the unsatisfied with the Yankees' scant lead. Promises Good Licking "Wait 'til Ruth gets back and he'll murder, your pitching," the Yankee fans hurled at every enemy slinger. Meanwhile Ken Williams, of the Browns, having punched out 11 hom ers, was miles beyond all opposition in the four base division. "Wait till Ruth gets back and hell catch up with and then pass Williams in two months." Then came May 20th. Ruth's Just portion from fandom that day should have been jeers or who, months before, thinking only of himself and his eagerness to gain a few barnstorming dollars, had broken one of baseball's laws and so threw dnvn hitt nlllH on1- VlTa lea ona arH Vph' Vnrlr fHnm I For the suspension of Ruth harm-' ed none but his club, which was de prived of his services for nearly six weeks, and the league, which lost $125,000 to $200,000, becouse he was Idle, Instead of serving as a daily drawing card. Yet on the day of his return a cap acity crowd jammed its way into the Polo grounds to greet him. The ovation he got was wonderful. Flow ers, material gifts, wild applause, vo cal bellows of welcome and encourage mentall were given to Ruth. Slugger Goes Hitless. And that day, while the multitude begged a home run, the slugger went hitless. The crowd went home a bit disappointed but confident that the morrow would find Ruth crashing and banging in old-fashioned style. But it didn't. And the next day, it was the same. But the crowd no longer was the same. It didnt cheer with old-time fervor; Its acclaim had dwindled to a whisper. Ruth finally made a homer but quickly he relapsed into the role I of a "hitless hero!" j And then, as baseball crowds ' al ways do. It turned a bit on Ruth. Oc casional jeers spiced the cheers. Eventually, 33 Ruth continued In his slump the cheers died to a whisper and the hoots began to dominate. For Ruth in six games made only three hits in 21 trials. The smile that lighted Ruth's face on the first day of his return from the Elba of baseball, faded a bit the second. Seriousness came upon it and grew.

Becomes Angry And then as a finale, the face be came grim, anger lights flashed from it a gleam was in the eyes like there gleams in the' eyes of a man thor- oughly aroused, completely embit tered. . . The climax came that day in New York when Ruth tossed some of the landscape at an umpire at being called out. And then, enraged by taunts of spectators, hurdled into the stands and made a frenzied dash for the man who, through quick use of his legs, escaped before any violence could be done. When home town fans start to fight a ball player and that ball player so far loses his temper- and his pose as to make ' motions like an attempted assault then it presages nothing but the beginning of the end for an idol. And when an athlete loses the super lative self-confidence he once knew, it means that the period of his greatness is over. - Ruth has had his day; he reached the eminence; the trail for him now leads downward eventually to obliv ion.
