the fence in the eighth inning was all that
saved the local leaguers from shut out. The
Senators played well enough in the field, but
could not bat with any effect. Haddock and
DAILY and O'Brien and Zimmer were the bat
teries. Cleveland played very snappy ball and
won easily. The work of Twitchell, Stricken
and Radford was excellent, saving several runs

q chance in the fifth to tie the score when two
men were on bases, lifted the ball into the
alley just over left field fence with no one in
front of him. Hoy struck out and Wise gave
OBrien an easy bounder. Mack was touched
on the arm with a pitched ball and Wilmot
made his first hit. Arthur Irwin might have
won the game with two-bagger or possibly
with single, but he hit to Stricken. Wise
made couple OF neat catches from Mexican
and Tebeau in the last half, and then Tebeau
banged the ball against right field fence for
two bases. McAleer hit to Haddock, who fum-
bled just long enough to let the runner reach
first. but turning quickly caught Tebeau off
third and ended the inning. In the ninth John
Irwin flied to Radford, and DAILY, after reaching
first on balls, was forced at second by Carney.
