g score. Kirby struck out. Boynton was
d next to bat and made safe hit for one
+ base. Slavin then attempted to whir]

S three strikes and a pretty double play
! between Wickizer and Quivey deter
mined the first inning for the Granite
s boys. They scored one run in the third
f one in the fifth, sixth and seventh which
gave them total Of six tallies in the
l game. When the Philipsburgers took
E their first inning with wickizer at the
, bat the stiffness Of the spectators was
intense until Cummings pitched his
first bali which the affable ''Wick" took
> advantage of and sent high fly off to
| the right field and the Philipsburgs back
ers began cheering until Slavin very
cleverly took it in. Hoskins went to bat
next and made safe hit to first and
after stealing two bases got home on
Hughes safe hit to first, Beley struck
out and Hughes was put out at first.
The burg boys made one more run in
the third and four in the fourth, at the
beginning of the sixth the GRANTEES tied
the game the score stood six to six and
with brisk rain falling the chances for
Philipsburg losing the game began to
increase. In the seventh inning how
ever Wickizer went to the bat and told
the boys to ''lookout'' for his moving
machine and sure enough he sent hot
liner down just inside the right foul line
giving him home run and virtually
| winning the game for Philipsburg when
the GRANTEES played their last half of the
ninth the score stood to in favor of
the burg and the best game of ball ever
played on the home grounds was fairly
won, though as usual there was some
kicking about the decisions of the UNI
pires yet each team furnished their own
man for that purpose making it see saw
as to which could help his club the most.

THE GAME SUNDAY
Evidently encouraged by the excellent
playing of Saturday, the Granite boys
came down again Sunday afternoon, and,
if anything, more hopeful of winning
than on the day preceding. A Asuccess1on
of two games in the diamond, however,
proved too much for either team, but as
the Philipsburgers have had considerable
the most practice they were in better
condition to withstand the trial.
The Phllipsburgs started the game
with succession of hard hits, scoring
four runs in the first inning. Through
out the first four innings there was a
succession of heavy batting on both sides.
At the beginning of the fifth, when
Hughes went in the box, the GRANTEES
failed to find the ball, and at the close of
the ninth inning the score stood % to 8
in favor of Philipsburg. I
While such large score would indi- {
cate poor game of ball. it must be said
that some of the players on either side s
did excellent work. Kelley and Ford,
for the GRANTEES, played good ball all
through the game, and received many
from the spectators, while /
IN the other side Hoskins, Boyd, Hughes
md Wickizer made many pretty plays. t
l'he batteries of both teams were de- 6
'idedly "broken up with the exception
IT Wickizer and Hughes, who are always
,ame. Hoskins and Hughes pitched for
he 'burgs For the GRANTEES Cum
nings and Kirby for the first, and Prosser,
Pennington and Kelley, foc the latter p
'art, did the box work. t,
