PARK WITH ST.. LOUIS
(Special

Dispatch to the Kentucky
Kernel.)'

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 14.
James Park, former Kentucky State
University athlete, of the St. Louis
Browns, won his third successive
game, defeating ctr la a1 team here
today, score 12 to 4. Park allowed
only four hits and struck out three
men.
The ability of Kentucky State Wildcats to make good outside of college
amateur circles has been amply demonstrated during the past summer by
the records of "Jim" Park, Ad Thom
as, "Rasty" Wright, and "Biscuit"..
Reed, all of whom have been playing
professional baseball this season, and
who have decidedly made good. All
of them were members of the Lexington Ohio State League team, which
was a contender in both of
races in that league, and the K. S.
U. boys were among the best in the
whole circuit.
