YESTERDAY WITH LOCAL AG
GREGATION SCORE 8 TO 4.
Before more than 20(K) excited base
ball fans who had gathered at the am
phitheater to see one of the bitterest
of diamond t'euds brought to an end.
the Ottawa Cubs were handed their
fourth defeat of the season yesterday
afternoon when the Pontiac Athetics,
loaded for boar, won 8 to 4. Murch
ison. former Cleveland pitcher, now
of Peoria was hired by the Livingston
county seaters to oppose Lynch on the
mound. He fanned fourteen Ottawa
batters and holding them to only four
hits. Although the Pontiac team hit
Lynch hard, the hits were pretty well
scattered. Errors were responsible
for four i'ontiae scores.
Lynch was way off form. Through
out the game he was hit for an even
dozen clean hits by the reformatory
city lads, two of which were three base
drives. Besides which Lynch was
given poor support throughout the bat
tle. At critical moments players
would go wild and make errors,
either allowing one or two runs to be
scored or make conditions such that
one would be tallied.
Pontlac scored their first runs in
the escond inning. Corey, first
man up, was walked. Graber bungled
one to Hrundage who pegged to second
catching Corey at the sack. Bodie
Singled while Luivisi was thrown out
at first. Dempsey singled scoring
Graber and Bodie while Murchison
field out to right field.
In the fourth inning through an er
ror on the part of Kdmunds at second,
Pontiac was enabled to score two
more runs after two outs had been re- j
corded. Graber struck out. Bodie
flied out to center field. Luvisi
knocked an oasy one to Kdmunds who
pegged the apple way over Kutz's
head at first. Dempsey singled.
Murchison also singled scoring Luvisi
and Dempsey. Doule reached first
through another error on the, part of
Edmunds. Henigale was thrown out
at first.
In this inning Ottawa scored their
only runs when they evened up the
count. Fans went hysterical and ev
ery bag would have bet their last red
cent that the old ball game was Otta
wa's. Murchison went up in the air, !
walking three men straight, while hits
on the part, of Hrundage and Kutz
brought In the tallies. Smykal, first
man up in that frame for the locals,
struck out. Kdmunds also stuck out
while Roth was allowed first base on
a walk. Muggles and Sheldon were
also given walks, filling the bases to
capacity. Brundago then popped a!
pretty single over the shortstop's head
scoring Roth and Muggles. Kutz ;
singled scoring Sheldon and Brundago,
thereby tying the score at four. Lynch
struck out. Never before In the his-;
tory of local games was there such ex-1
Citement over a game as there was in
that inning. Fans went wild and
were throwing straw hats in every di
rection. The amphitheater rocked
and their yells and shouts of joy j
could 'be heard at practically all parts
of town. But their rejoicing didn't
last very long.
In the sixth frame Pontiac went
out and grabbed off two more tallies
after they had slammed Jimmy for!
three hits. An error on the part of
Roch enabled the Pontiac players also
In scoring the two runs. In the sev
ettth and eigth frames two more runs
were scored bringing the Pontiac
total to eight while the locals were i
hold scoreless and practically hitless
thoughout the remainder of the con-
test,
Kvery member of the local tenm j
struck out at. loast. once in the game
yesterday. Roth, Muggles, Wilmor- j
oth and all the hoavios took three i
healthies at least one time and were
retired by Murchison. Murchison. al- j
though he appeared apparently not to 1
have a tiling on the ball, bent thorn
across in such a manner that the lo-1
cals were unable to connect with the
pill. The "ringer", allowed only four
hits through out the contest, struck
out fourteen local batters and walked
four men.
Lynch was hit. hard and had a good
team been against him he would no
doubt have boon knocked out of the
lot. Twelve hits were recorded by
the Pontlac men. while Lynch only
walked two. At times the local
mounder proved a sensation and of
fered the Livingston county seaters
some wicked ones to strike at. Hut
-when in a pinch and when they should
have knuckled down the locals blew
up. Everything seemed to break
against them although they lost the
game fair and square.
Only at three stages of the game, ex
cept the inning when they scored
their runs, did the Ottawans succeed
In getting a man on base, while there
was only one inning that the visiting
aggregation didn't have a man on
base. Such were the conditions of the
game. - "fWn
Muggles, sensational center fielder
for the locals, got two of the four Ot
tawa hits, recording a single and a
double. Besides in the fourth inning
Bodie, Pontlac second baseman, poled
a line drive into right center field
Muggles was forced to run a long dis
tance for the pill and made a beauti
ful catch. Kutz and Brundago each
got a hit.
On the Pontlac side, Dempsey prov
ed the bad man for the Ottawans
Twice he sent the ball past Lynch like
a flash, which resulted in the scoring
rf three visiting runs. He proved a
dangerous man when at the hat.
Jodie and Guiuoochiou also proved
dangerous bitten and kept Lynch

NOTES OF THE GAME.
o
That the Pontiac team came hero
loaded iu order that they might win
yesterday's game and the saw-off,
may be evidenced by the following
facts:
o
Corey, center fielder for Pontiac
yesterday, WM a former White Sox
pitcher, who broke his leg several
years ago and was forced to resign
from the big league.
o
Bodie, Pontiac second baseman, is
the regular guardian of the second
Back for the fast Dodger s Trainers
outfit.
o-
Dompsey, heavy hitting catcher for
the Livingston county seaters yester
day, is the Chicago Magnets' regular
backstop.
o
Graber, who played left field. Is of !
the Bloomington Three-l league.
o
Murchison, pitcher of St, Louis, Is
a former Cleveland Indian mounder.
Murchison a year or two ago was a
member of Trls Speaker's Cleveland
Indians. After being (With them for
a short while he was farmed out to
New Orleans. While there some mix
up arose which caused him to jump
his contract with that team. Since
then he has been playing wth any
team ho could.
o
The amphitheater was filled to ca
pacity yesterday afternoon with base
ball fans, who Jammed through the
turnstile to see the "wonderful" Pon
tiac Athletics In action against the
Cubs Wonder what the Pontlac funs
and players thought when they saw
the big crowd that attended the game?
They seldom have over three or four
hundred at their games.
o
We give the Pontlac manager a lit
tie credit for having enough gray mat
ter to hire a "ringer" to face the Ot
tawans.
One good thing, "Moose" Romine
will never bo able to say iu (lays to
come that ho could beat the Ottawa
Cubs In a fair and square battle. Old
"Moose" sat : long the side linos yes
terday and eagerly watched the out

THE FLAVOR LASTS
CHICK AND JOCK MAY
PLAY AT DEER PARK
La Salle, Aug. 1 - A delegation oT
golfers who motored to Bloomington
Thursda) and watched Jock Hutchison
ana Laurie Ayton, hicago profession'
,i!s, swap drives with the touring Dun
ran and Mitchell of llritish fame, saw
just enough Class A golf to whet their
ippefites.
As a result there is a lively interest
in the efforts of officials of the local
organisation to bring Hutchinson and
'Chick" Evans, amateur champion, to
the Deer Park club some time within
the next few weeks.
As the matter now stands, it is all
up to Evans. If he can sandwich in
an exhibition data between his duties
as bond salesman and the multitude
nous tournaments that are on tab, he
undoubtedly will come here Hutch
ison told Deer Park players at Bloom
IngtOD that he was willing to come
down anytime.
It is planned In tho event that tho
exhibition can be arranged, to have
tho two star Chieagoans appear in an
if. hole match with Geo. L Ritchie of
Deer Park and Walter Anderson, the
Ottawa professional, as their rivals.
AKhOUgh it is impossible to tell
when Bvans and Hutchinson will be
here, efforts are being made to ar
range for a Sunday afternoon engage
ment bo that the attendance of local
players will be the largest posibie.
Brans has played the Deer Park
course several times and has traveled
the route iu 36, which then was 2
below par.
The host marks on tho course this
season are those made by Ritchie, the
club profesisonal. who had two ,'iTs
itul a 114 or two to his credit. The
change in No. A hole last fall lopped
one stroke off par. that figure is now
town to e06.
