The Bluegrass League is starting
its second series exactly as it finish-,
ed the first, with Paris', Maysville
andT Lexington in the first division
Nippert, former Miami University
star, now holding a place in the
Mammoth's left field, just now has
one of the heaviest batting averages
in the League..
He has hit safely in every one of
his eight games, and has an average
of .433 including two hits made off
Rasty Wright, in the Paris-Winchester
game Sunday. His team
mate, Coyle, playing second, is also
coming along in the batting over
ages. Paris literally went baseball
"loco" Sunday afternoon, when in
the first game of the new series, the
Paris Mammoths took a fall out of
the Winchester Dodgers by a score
of 6 to 4. One of the largest crowds
ever seen at the League Park was
present to witness the struggle, and
it was a good-natured, chaffing
crowd, despite the teriffic heat and
other discomforts. The game was in
the nature of a trial of skill between
Rasty Wright, the Dodgers' premier
pitcher, and Miner, for Paris. A
new slab artist, Blakefield, of Mem
phis, Tenn., went in to pitch for
Paris, but owing to previous injury,
went out of the game after pitching
two innings. Miner finished out the
game, and did splendid work.
Wright was hit at the time when
hits meant something in the scor
ing line, while Miner held his visit
ors well in hand at all times. Coyle
and Cicona featured for Paris while
the Winchester shortstop, Hisle,
grabbed off a home run by a long hit
over the fence. Macke and Nippert
grabbed two base hits, while Oliver
Mann pulled out a three-bagger.
The batteries . werai-For Paris,43iS&fcft.i'i- .lomo fo.
Blakefield, Miner and Macke: for
.
Winchester, Wright, Thoss and Fra
zier. The game, which went for
two hours, was umpired by Good
man, former manager of the Paris
team, who was "right there" in his
position.
The meeting held in Cynthiana
the past week, at which time the
new schedule was adopted, was a
very enthusiastic one, atid better
harmony was displayed .on the part
of the club owners than ever before.
All the clubs reported as being in
good shape and are looking forward
to a post-season series between the
winner of the first and last half of
the season schedule. There is also
considerable talk of a Kentucky
championship series between the
winner of the Bluegrass League
and the Kitty League.
The new schedule, which will in
clude games on Thursdays, Satur
days and Sunday, has not yet been
given out by President Russell. As
to where the teams will play next
the dates will probably not be an
nounced before Wednesday.
Besides the Bluegrass League
games and games between colored
teams in various parts of the coun
ty, games are played every Sunday
afternoon at Black's Cross Roads,
seven miles from Paris. In a recent
game the Cross Roads Terrors de
feated the Spears Mill teams by a
score of 3 to 2. The game was a
duel between opposing pitchers.
Not since the days of the old Blue
grass League has such enthusiasm
over baseball been witnessed in Paris
jas after Sunday's game between the
Mammoths and the Winchester
team. Young and old, men, women
and children eagerly sought the
bulletin boards and hardly anything
else was discussed on the streets.
Crowds throgned the streets af
ter the game, and the scores of an
tomobiles returning from the ball
park filled the streets on both sides
in running lines. The crowd at the
ball park was undoubtedly the larg
est ever seen there.
It was a matter of universal com
ment Sunday afternoon that each of
:the losing teams made four runs in
their contests.
The next game in the Church
League will be played on Hancock
Field this (Tuesday) afternoon, at
3:30 o'clock, between the Mathodist
and Christian teams.

FAYETTE COUNTY GROWER
SUED BY BURLEY POOL
The Burley Tobacco Growers' Co
operative Association late Saturday
afternoon took the first step to en
force its marketing agreement and
contract with its members when it
served papers in a suit against Gar
rett Watts, wealthy Fayette county
farmer, alleging that he violated his
contract.
It is charged that he failed to de
liver to it under, that contract more
than 70,000 pounds of tobacco and
'that he dilivereri onlv 3.KR0 nnnnris
-- - - -
o tne association. Damages in the
um of $ 3,5 00 and attorneys' fees
$i $1,000 additional are asked, both
damages and fees being provided
for by the contract itself.
ViVIr. Watts had been to the races
at Latonia Saturday and was on his
way back home when a deputy sher
iff boarded the train at Paris and
served the papers in the suit, which
was filed Saturday in the Bourbon
Circuit Court, the association's at
torneys being Franklin, Talbott and
Chapman, of Lexington and Paris,
Worthington, Browning and Reed,
Maysville. Just why the papers
were served in Bourbon county or
why the suit is filed in this county
was not made clear Saturday night.
When the train on which Mr.
Watts was coming from Latonia ar
rived at Paris it was boarded by As
sistant Counsel Virgil Chapman, of
the Burley Association; CI yde E.
Buckley, a member, and Deputy
Sheriff James Gibson. When they
came to Mr. Watts' seat in the car,
Mr. Buckley said pleasantly: "Good
evening, Mr. Watts," and the dep
uty sheriff, who did not know Mr.
Watts, promtly served the papers in
the case, the petition having been
filed previously with Circuit Clerk
Webb, of the Bourbon Circuit
Court.
The suit, the first of the kind filed
since the organization of the burley
association, is most important to
that organization, for its success or
failure will show either it has or
has not the power to enforce its
contracts by the punishment of
those who may violate them.
The suit and its probable conse
sequences was the sole absorbing
topic of conversation Sunday and
yesterday among the tobacco grow
ers of Bourbon county. According
to. . the petition, the Association
abcn.a iu vwnvu iuu uuuiutjbo j. v-j-vi
red to as well as the attorneys' fees,
under a clause of the contract that
provides that if any members shall
fail to deliver the tobacco he agrees
to in the marketing agreement, he
shall pay to the Association as liqui
dated damages five cents a pound
for each pound of tobaccjo he may
fail to deliver, and that he shall also
pay a reasonable attorneys' fees in
addition.
