determined and emphatic about the matters

will not likely fall to our lot.
ABOUT FARMER YOUNG.
Mr.. Young, he of the agricultural make
up and strength, really gave the home play
ers little show to get hold of the coveted
position Yesterday He was just as energetic
and as effectively busy as farmer hauling
in his crops to escape thunderstorm The
big-honed and big-muscled pitcher was out
to do business and he did it.
There were 1852 people present to see the
contest, and enthusiasm was very high from
start to finish. Mark Baldw; was appointed
to try and pitch the home players to victory,
and although he did very well he was not at
his best by any means. His pitching would
probably win an ordinary game, but ms
form was not good enough 70 compete 1ayor-
ably against the work of ST Young The fact
that Baldwin and Young were the pitchers
meant that bsth teams were extremely
anxious to win. and the local players might
easily have won had they been able to hit
the hall at one or two stages where they
missed it. OF course. 81 Young was there to
puzzle them, and he was very successful,
indeed. on that point.
But although the visitors took nice little
hold on fifth place, they have not sure
grin by any means, and the games of to-day
comTeTion of affairs. Manager McGunnigie is de-
terniined to make a great fight for the place.
IT is EASILY EXPLAINED.
Its easv 10 explain how the game was lost. The
visitors got three very big looking because of
an error of Judgment on the part of Baldwin and
also a very bad error by Bierbauer. This means
that Mark himself contributed toward the defeat,
but he worked hard for all that That's how three
of the visitors were made. On the other hand
The reason why the home players did not score
enough runs for victory was because they were 'at
sea- when facing 81 Young. Our big llitters could
not touch him excepting Shugart, and the home
runs credited TO them, notwithstanding the fact
that I.ally banged out home run:
The fourth inning was reached before run was
tailed although the visitors had three men on
bases in the second. In the fourth Baldwin sent
10th 9Ee & ana Tmcr 70 nrSS on hi, pans ncrdf %
runners 10 se.Ond and third. Burkett followed
unfortunately Mark threw the man out at first in
stead OF nabhIng the man at the plate The run
could easily have been prevented, but IL counted.
In the fifth inning Mexican led off for the visitors
and made a single TO middle. Davis made scratch
sacrifice placing the runners on second and third
hcAleer loomed up next and popped up ny just
over second base. Bierbauer ran for it, but Cork
hill could easily have gotten it.
COSTLY MISTAKE.
The genial captain got under the ball and muffed
il, AUD when he picked it up he made very wild
throw over third base, allowing Mexican and
Davis TO score and McAlcer to reach third.
In the sixth inning the local players tied the
score. Shugart led off by making 4 very neat bunt
and he reached first all right. Miler's fly was
caught by Rurkett. and Beck1ey's sacrifice sent
Shugart 10 third, a wild pitch having previously
sent him 10 second. Hanfon knocked fly to Nc
Aeer and the latter mutfed the ball. Shugart scor-
ing. Lally, the fine built Young athlete from the
Fast walked up TO the plate and whacked the ball
past DOYLE to the left field fence for home
No more scoring was done until the last half of
the ninth. Young struck out, and Burkett
and Childs followed with each single. Mexican
struck out. and then Davis sent single to left,
enabling Burkett TO score the winning run. Han
lon made a splendid throw TO the Late, but Bur-
krtt was swift of foot, and he just scored by
hairshreadth. The score:
