The Grand Rapids team put up
another very fast game Of bal Al AlgeE
Park Yesterday afternoon, and, Il they
keep up the present pace, il viii not
be many days before they Will occupy
far more honorable place N the
League race than they DO nov. IL was
one OF those exciting, soul-sUrFlng
games that fairly made the spectators
rise from their sea.s and shout their
approval IN a manner that demon
strated that there Is d great deal or en-
thusiain IN Ggand Rapids audience,
especially when the home team Is
playing winning ball 4 miserably
small crowd witnessed the contest,
which was Chiefly due 10 the fact that
the people were laDOrng under the
mlsappFehens.On that It was only an
exnlbluon and not regularly sched-
uled game.
Ii required ten innings 70 settle the
difficulty and u looked IOr 4 time, as II
Grand Rapids would have 10 record
another defeat 20 their already long
list. In tile ninth inning. however, the
game was tied and IN the tenth New
man, "a on Saturday. distinguished
himself by bringing IN the winning run,
with beautiful hlt over the fence.
Montreal also played well, but despite
the fact that Twohey, one OF their own
team, umpired, they could not WIN.
Up 10 the seventh inning they had the
game we'll IN hand, but TINS was before
the boys commenced 10 realize the neces-
sity of putting the crowd IN god
humor.
The fun commenced in the first in
nings. when Burk stepped up 10 the
plate and made a good clean single 10
LETT. johnny Mcmahon, the sturdy lit
tie catcher, followed him and as he
stepped To the plate, he cast his OH eye
III the direction of center garden. The
next moment his bat came IN contact
with an in-shoot and the sphere kept
getting smaller and smaller, until t
was seen TO disappear over the fence.
This little act resulted IN two earned
runs for Grand Rapids.
Montreal eyened up affairs in the
second inning. Casey made u single
" dllAl II u4lLi hAAONAtNl lNO-O<t,-
ger TO the center field fence. Sales was
of the opinion that he ought to do
something TO earn his salary and he,
after two futile attempts, sent the ball
spinning towards the territory that
Burke was looking after, and both
Casey and Hulin made a rush for the
plate and got there.
In the third inning the gentlemen
from Canada thought another tworuns
about the proper caper, and they
proved TO be the last they got during
the game. Mr.. Hart was rather mag
unanimous, for he started Off by giving
both Cartwright and Fulmer bases on
balls. we'll was not so lucky. how
ever, IL. nc hit an easy grounder TO
Hart aud Cartwright couldn't get to
third before the ball. Casey thought
IL about time 70 do something AMI he
made a two-bagger, bringing III Fulmer
and Powell.
A double by Mcmahon and single
by SIppi earned Grand Rapids third
run IN the seventh innings and in the
ninth the game was tied on Melster's
double and Whalen's single. When the
tenth innings started, dark omnious
clouds lowered up in the west and 1t
looked as If there would be cyclone.
1t proved one for Montreal, for after
Burke had made first on Sales error
and Mcmahon sent a single TO right
field Newman proved himself the rlgnt
man III the right place by sending the
ball over the left field fence, where 1t
was lost IN the woods, and three runs
were recorded. The MOntrealS could
do nOth1ro in their half OF the INNINGS.
The score:
