Brookville Democrat, 1904
The Rumbler Base Ball Club will give its first ball in the Town Hall, Brookville, on Thursday evening Oct. 6. The Brookville Orchestra will furnish the music. Everybody is invited. Tickets, 50 cents.
The Brookville baseball club went to Liberty last Friday, where in one of the best games of the season, they defeated the Liberty club by a score of 6 to 5. This makes two out of three for Brookville with Liberty this season. The boys were well treated and report a fine time.
Harrison News -- Frank Riddinger, one of our base ball players, has left the Vincennes cub and joined the Greensburg aggregation. He plays first base and has an excellent record. He enjoys the reputation of being one among the few ball players who does not drink intoxicants of any kind, and is always in excellent condition when "play ball!" is wafted to the breeze by the umpire.
A very large crowd of enthusiastic citizens and baseball "fans" and "rooters" went to the ballpark at this place last Sunday afternoon to see the game between Brookville and Oxford, which was a one-sided affair. The weather was everything that could be asked for and the boys played ball for all that was in it. The Oxford team brought a few "rooters" along but when the Brookville team got to work, they did not have a chance to "root." It was a good-natured crowd, and everybody wanted to see the Brookville boys win. And they did win. The score was 18 to 0. The Fairfield team will play here next Sunday.
The Fairfield Base Ball Club defeated the Brookville club Sunday afternoon on the grounds of the latter, the score being 17 to 14.
