the box. According to the turnstile there were
449 people present and the big majority of
those were in the grand stand. Had Schmitt
received better support than he did the game
would have been an exciting one but some
VERY UNFORTUNATE MISTAKES
soon caused all interest to vanish from the
contest. The visitors only earned one of their
ten runs, and that readily explains what en-
couragement Schmitt had Kelly was exceed
ingly unfortunate in left field. His error of
judgment and muf of a fly were responsible
for FIVE runs. But Foreman was the greatest
stumbling block as he had every batter in very
great difficulties The local players could not
touch him, and without doubt he is an excel
lent pitcher. He has good team behind him,
and they ought to do well during the season.
The local players also gave the spectators to
understand that they need lessons in base run
ming. For instance, in the second inning,
Youngman and Scnmitt were on third and
second respectively when Sunday knocked a
long fly to center. There was only one man
out, and yet Youngman before the fly was
caught was half way between third base and
home. He had to retreat to third base, and
had he been on the base when the fly
was caught he could easily have
scored. If the fly had not been caught he
could have walked safely home, so that his
judgment or the coaching was rank. indeed.
When the ielders did well Schmitt pitched in
first-class style. and many OF the hits made off
his delivery were made after the side should
have been out However, the Reds made an
interesting game.
WHEN THEY SCORED.
In the first inning Schmitt hit McPhee with
a pitched ball, and Biudy got to second on
Marr's sacrifice. Holiday then sent McPhee
home by a two-bagger. The hit would not
have counted however, had Kelly not exer-
cised very bad judgment in trying to catch the
ball. 1t was high up in the air. but he judged
its distance SO that it went clean over his head
He had plenty of time to catch it. Boards
sacrifice and a wild pitch sent Holiday home.
In the second inning knight led off with
wild i0I throw allowed esR Mu1iane @ Id to Gqas reach
first. Knight was thrown out at the
plate on trying to score on Keenan's

Mullane and Keenan, by single to right and
Marr's two-bagger sent in Foreman and Nc
Phee. Holiday sacrificed Marr to third and
Boards single sent him home. In tho fourth
