Description | "MORE BALL - The base ball tournament, at the Florence Fair Grounds, came off Wednesday, October 17, and was largely attended. Five clubs were represented, viz: The Live Oak and Buckeye, from Cincinnati; Eagle from Dayton, Kentucky; Holt, from Newport, and Covington, from Covington. The game was conducted under the auspices of the Tournament Association of Kentucky, by whom the prizes were given. The prizes were a large silver ball, suitably engraved, for the best club, and a rosewood, silver-mounted bat for the second best. The first game was between the Live Oak and the Eagle, and was won by the Live Oak. The second was between the Holt and the Buckeye, and was very closely contested, the Holt winning by two runs. The third was between the Covington Club and the Live Oak, and was won by the Covington. Then came the last and most exciting game, between the Covington and the Holt. The Covington went to the bat and made fifteen runs. Their batting was magnificent. The Holt then took that bat and made four runs. In the next two innings the Covington made four and Holt none. Darkness then closed the game the Covington being fifteen ahead and two innings to play [all tournament games were five innings due to time constraints]. The game will probably be finished in a few days near the city." Florence KY is about 10 miles SW of Cincinnati OH. |
