The sun came from behind the clouds just as
the teams took their places, Washington going
to the bat. Powers and Curry were the UNI

watt found {. ball to his liking and hit il
safely past Williamson. Wilmot hit the
first ball., clean single over second,
but Beecher hit to Williamson, who,
after short tumble threw Wilmot out at sec
ond, and Pfeffer had Just time enough to catch
Beecher, who ran very slowly. Thus two good
base hits were wasted.
CHICAGO SCORES.
Ryan started the thing going for Chicago by
three-bagger into left, which Wilmot mis-
judged very badly. 1t should have been an
easy out Van Haltren's sharp drive into

second when Haddock let Beecher's
throw go through him. Duffy fled to Mack
scoring Van Haltren. DAILY let the throw in 60
by and Arson reached first. Pfeffer went to first
on balls and Williamson struck out. Burns hit
to Wise, who fumbled the ball, but Arthur

easily caught, and John Irwin gave q foul to

ond, and Hoy dropped Duffy's fly. Arson
lined ball toward right, high
over Mack's head, but the long
man rose like black streak and, nsbbing
the ball, touched Duffy before he could regain
his base. Then, after having made a
double play unassisted, he threw badly
to Wise and Van Haltren ran to third. Hoy re-
deemed himself by making beautiful catch Of
Pfeffer's hard fly. Third inning no runs.
