q THAT promised at the start to Be almost
vafkoyer but which developed into highly
exciting contest. PowelFs men took COM

never Jagged Although the game was not re-
ruarkable for brillian. plays, with few excep-
Cons the fielding of both teams was sharp The
sw errors credited were, however, costly ones. A
srounder that got away from Lew Shoeneck let
IN two runs, while misplays by Tom PARROT
and Jack Darrah were each responsible for

..Kidr Camps work in the box was only fair,
yss the steady fielding of the team behind him
md liberal sprinkling OF good luck kept his
opponents from making any Roadway in scoring
Yuns when most needed. On two different occa-
eons Osborne opened up the inning with drive
for two bases, and both times was unable TO get
around the circuit. On one occasion he reached
third, but the other time could get no further
than second. Matt Zirlmer caught q strong
eame behind the bat, and his throwing to bases
was quick and true. Joe Shea's work at short
vas excellent. he taking seven chances without
an error Jim McDonalds second base play was
on the brilliant order, with eight accepted
chances and no errors TO his credit. Newman
made nice running Jump and catch of line
hit, which he had misjudged.
Tom PARROTS work In the box ranged from
the very ineffective TO the inyincible. At the
first OF the game the Seattle team had no trouble
IN finding him. As the innings advanced, how
ever, he grew more and more effective and

nsts oil his delivery. In the seventh he &C
compished the splendid feat of striking out

czllent work.
