isfaction, While Holland Gives the
Home Team Few Timely Lessons in
Base Stealing.

man, not only covered that bag to pcrfcc-
ton, but captured the crowd by his terrific
batting and daring base running. Reocius,
the new third bascman, also proved himself
a valuable acquisition and accepted every
chance. While at the bat he found the ball
at critical points Holland, the little short
stop, made two bad throws TO first, which
cost a run, but that was doubtless due TO
nervousness. In other respects he proved u
success His base running opened the eyes
