WE'LL, HOW THEY DIDBAT
The Spinners Thought Yes
terday's Game Was Won,
but 1t Was Not.
ELEVEN RUNS IN TWO INNINGS.
The Gladiators Made Eight More
in the Ninth, but They Don't
Count.

OUuuL.
The Cotton nine from Lowell thought
that Patsey Powers men had lost theil
first game yesterday afternoon at Oakland
Park.
But they hadn't.
The game stood twelve to three in favor
of the Spinners. at the end of the sixth in
ming, but the Gladiators are never beaten
until the game Il over, and when the
Lowell men went to the station to take
the train for Easton they found them
selves in the broth.
Three runs in the seventh and seven in
the eighth did the business. AT the same
time Landmann and the rest of the nine
kept those Cotton men from crossing the
plate in the seventh, and Jersey City's
pet, Willy Daley, took Landmarks place
in the eighth and struck out three men in
succession, after giving -Gunshannon his
base on balls.
HERE is HOW IT WAS DONE.
Jersey City went to the bat, and after
Knowles had got his base on balls and
stolen second on Murphy's overthrow,
Lyons batted one to O'Brien, who stopped
it well and threw him out at first, hold

O'Brien with a long three-bagger to the
left field fence. Freil struck out, but
Gerhardt hit safely over second base, and
O,Brien came home. Joe tried to steal
second on the first ball pitched, but was
detected and taken into camp.
The GladiatorS made no more run for
four innings, but the Lowell men were
busy all the time. In the first Murphy hit
to left for two bags, but when Landmann
threw over Gerhardt's head, Lyons got the
ball down to third in time to stop the
runner. Gunshannon knocked up a fly
that fell into Landmarks paws, inc the
big pitcher got Staltz's hot n into Tom
O'Brien's hands before the left fielder
crossed the base.
In the second a tumble by Lang gave
Dwyer his base, and Hamilton's base on
balls, singles by Hackett, HUMPHREYS,
O'Brien and Murphy Melted five runs,
Westlake having struck out, and Gun
shannon and Staltz going out, the former
on a fly to Lang and the latter on a
grounder that the Snapper got to first in
shape.
In the third Dryer led off with a two
Dagger, and stood on first while Lang
threw Hamilton's slow n to Tom
O'Brien, and Jim Knowles took care of
Hackett's fly. Then HUMPHREYS made a
two base hit to right field and Dwyer
came home. HUMPHREYS kept right along
and was safe On third, because Jim didn't

lake tried to kill Landmann with the ball,
but died at first himself instead. This
left the score 6 to 2 in favor of the visitors.
THE OTHER H~ALF-DOZEN.
No more came until the fifth, when
Staltz led off with a hot bounder to Land
mann. The big fellow held it, and so did
O'Brien. Dwyer only sent an easy one to
Gerhardt, and Tom received that, too, be-
fore the runner got to the base. Then the
fun began. Singles to left and right by
Hamilton and Hackett, Humphries' base
on balls, Westlake's two-bagger and Tom
O'Brien's muff, let in four runs
This was followed up in the eighth and
the lead clinched by two runs from Gun
shannon's base on balls, Staltz's double
and Dryers clean single. Murphy got
his base on balls, but was caught stealing
second. Dwyer was u out between
second and third after a successful theft
of the n bag, when Hamilton hit to
Landmann, and Hackett sent a hot fly
that almost settled the Snapper, but
Frank had his grip on the ball and Hack
EFT was out. Lowell did not score again
in the game.
HOW JERSEY WON.
When Friel went to the bat in the sixth
he lined out a twobagger and went to
third on Gerhardt'S sacrifice, and then,
after O'Brien had held Hiland's fly, he
came home on Burke's hit, which was

out, but the crowd cheered, because the
ice was cracked.
In the seventh Lang led off with a long
one that Staltz muffed and Snap was safe
on second. Knowles was given a life by
Hackett's tumble, and stole second on
Murphy's overthrow, while Lang scamp
cred home. Lyons flew out to Gunshan-
non, but Tom O'Brien made a good sacri-
fee, and Knowles, who had stolen third,
came home. Friel made a safe one, took
second on a balk, got to third and home
on Hackett's muff. After Gerhardt's
single Westlake sent Hiland's grounder
to Hamilton and the inning ended.
The crowd was now greatly excited.
Lowell went out in one, two, three order,
and Burke went to the bat. He struck
out and the spectators held their breath.
Hackett gave Landmann a life and Mike
went to second on a passed ball. Then be-
gan the batting.
And the yelling.
Knowles hit to centre; Lyons to left, 60
ing to second on G~unshannon's tumble,
O'Brien to short: FTiel sent the ball over
Humphries' head, and Joe Gerhardt sent
three men in with a good t~wo-bagger to
centre field.
That tied the score.
Then they howled.
But when Joe came home on Burke's
single. having taken third on Hiland's
sacrifice fly to Dwyer, it seemed that
Snake Hill must have moved down to Jer-
sey City. Landmann hit to O'Brien too hot
for him to hold, but was forced out at sec
ond by Lang's hot one to O'Brien.
Daley her went in to pitch and the
Spinners didn't score. Sullivan took
OBrien's place in the box and the Gladia-
tors knocked out eight runs, but the
Lowel's train stopped the game and they
did not count. The scorer
JERSEY CITY. LOWELL.
