In the first irrning Liobold reached first on Scott's error. Shano Collins, who followed him at bat, was signalled by Chance to hit behind the rtfnner or sacrifice.

With the count three and nothing on Collins, a right hand batter, Liebold, attemped to steal second Ward went over to take the throw and as he shot over toward the bag Collins drove the ball directly through the spot vacated by Ward. The strategy of pulling Ward out of position and the batter's quickness in taking advantage of the uncovered position on the infield put two men on the sacks and momentarily set singles followed; the ball game Many of our cities have laws prohibiting the bathing girls from walking through the streets on their way to their bungalows in their-bathing suits.

B. Hook said today that the Paducah Kitty League team would play either Harrisburg; or Her-rin, 111., both of which are strong Independent baseball teams, next Sunday afternoon at League Park.

Mr. Hook said the association is negotiating with both teams and one of them will be selected within the next two or three days. Herrin and Harrisburg have two of the strongest Independent teams in the state of Illinois. Next Thursday the Paducah team will go to Murray, to play the fast Independent team of that city. Catcher Warden, of the league team, left Sunday night for Terre Haute, to do receiving for the Central league team of that city.

Terre Haute has a string attached to Warden. The regular receiver of Terre Haute was injured the latter part of last week and Warden will take his place until he recovers sufficiently to return to the game. Acting Business Manager Hook said Warden would return in time to participate in the opening game of the season on May 15. Manager Dolly Starks con siders Warden a very promising backstop. Shortstop Gale has returned to his home to attend to some business as athletic director of the public schools in his city.

Bird was with the Chicago White Sox for a number of years, but owing to the fact that he was on the same club with Bay Schalk, he was forced to hold the second string job. Lynn was sent to Salt Lake in 1920 where he played until last season. He remained out of baseball In 1922, refusing to go west again. Memphis purchased his release from the Salt Lake club this spring, and Lynn is showing his ap-preciatioa by his splciidid receiving. Bird owns a general store in Vnionville and can be found behind the counter at the end of each baseball season.

FolloVers of the grand old game were amazed when it was announced President Ebbets of the Brooklyn Dodgers, had taken the elastic from his bank roll, and offered Jack Dunn $100,000 for his star shortstop Joe Boley. Ebbets has been called the tightest man in baseball, but the unexpected occurs sometime. Bantamweight Champ Joe Lynch, has been matched to do battle with the boss of American flyweights, Frankle Gcnaro, in a ten round scrap to be held at Chicago May 16. There is always something doing wheii these lads get together. LobJj of a finger on his right baud, regarded as a handicap to Champion William Tilden, by ten nis experts, has yet to prove a liability to "tall" Bill.

Judging from his work against his ancient rival. William Johnson, California, the champion is as good as Jack Farmer managing the Jackson, Tenn, Independents again this season. Jack lead them through a successful schedule in 1922. He played the outfield and hit in clean-up position for Dyersburg in 1920 and 1921, win. ning many games with his teriffic drives.
