The first canto was as innocent o f tallies as the ordinary bald head h of fly traps and in the second stanza, while Ashland skill and muscle fanned the atmosphere the same condition prevailed. After the first one, two, three, taps were sounded, however, and when the apple thiners again took up the big stick, it was different. Skeen, Ashland’s new "hope” blew up completely and Central Point scandal ously run in seven tallies. In the mid die of the inning the game was tempor arily called on account of the balloon ascencion which being interpreted means Skeen was aeroplaned to the bench and Phillips was parachuted from center field to the box. The change stopped the rawness of the deal to some extent and while the Pointers were thereafter served with their meat cooked their appetite seemed equal to the occasion. It was a pretty good game from that time on for while Ash land was straining every point to pick up their pair of tallies the Pointers gamboled around and nailed three more nice hides on the old barn door making themselves ten handsome ones. A good sized crowd was present to enjoy the game and the indications are that base ball stock has a bullish tend ency on the local market. Following is the lineup and score: Ashland Position Cen.
