in to call balls. and took of his collar and neck
tle Sneed dropped safe in left and
braveiy tried for second on it. He would have
been put out had Dowd held Murphys
run up his arm. Then Alvord fumbled

THIRD INNING.
kerins had appeared on the field in the
meantime and at the end of the inning relieved
the two pitchers who had been umpiring. A
battery change was indicated at the beginning
of the third by Cassian's going to the bat
Sutcllffe went to the bench scowling at the
scorers, who had made some uncomplimentary
illusions to his poor work. He shook his
hand as if it were sore.
Cassian fouled out to the catcher but Muir
ply lined a safe ball past Leblanc for base.
Mcclure hit at the pitcher too hot for him to
hold and the batter was safe on the scratch hit
Sutcliffe seemed to think that little something
like work was due from him and he smashed a
| ball out towards the left corner that was good
| for three bases. He scored when Crooks made
a bad tangle on Curtis ball. After McCauley
had struck out Dowd pushed a little safe ball
over second that rolled between the four feet
of Wheelock and Crooks. Curtis went on to
third and Dowd reached second on the throw
in. Hatfield might have scored couple more
runs, but he put up a foul for Donahue.
Cassian's work. and, indeed, that OF the
| whole team, was much better in the third.
Mcclure went in to catch him, and the change
worked well. Crooks hit safely to center, but
| was forced at second by O'Rourke. Duffee put
| safe ball through both Alvord and Hatfield
| but the latter took little fly from Snecd's BAT
| aud Twitchell hit to pitcher and went out at
first.

LIVELY INNING.
The fourth was inspiriting to the bleachers
Alvord dropped a ball into left near the line
that, by bounding sideways, made itself two
base hit. Twitchell made a great catch of
Cassian's fly, but Murphy hit down to third
| and O'Rourke stopped to threaten Alvord long
enough to let Murphy get lis base. Mcclure
filled the circuit by going down on balls and
then Sutcliffe kept up the redeeming process
| by Lining single to center Alvori was in
easily, OF course, but with Murphy it required
a great effort to score. He made connection
with the rubber by means of a remarkably
good slide. Curtis planted a two-bagger into
left and Mcclure scored. There was but one
man out, but McCauley flied to Wheelock and
Dowd placed a little one in Lehane's hand.
Then the cry went up-'Seven-eleven-le
her 60" The old familiar row gave the
| crowd hope.
A fly to Curtis and some good assists by
Alvord and Dowd, put Columbus out in the
latter half
