EnpNn as the ''IlItSDuIES aIC an y
stage to light onto the very best of people
and knock the covers off a dozen of balls.
In one inning yesterday they let loose on
such very smooth article as Robert Ca
,uthers and he was almost knocked out OF
sight Ii very short space OF time.
Five Hard Cracks
in ranid succession was what Bobby had to
stand and he couldn't make better OF 1t.
There have been times when Robert with all
his Partisan prestige could keep the best of
people guessing when he was in the box.
But yesterday he fell among j. Palmer's
Philistines and they left very little gilt ON
him when.they were through with him.
But the contest was not bad one despite
the slugging of the home players. The
weather was bad: in fact, bad enough to keep
the attendance down to about 800 people.
At one time il looked a. if there would not
be game at all, 50 threatening was the rain.
The grounds. TOO, were III an awful condition,
and fielding and base running were very
difficult things to do indeed. Pools Of water
we're numerous in the outficld and the mud
was about ankle deep around the diamond.
Carroll proved himself a remarkable good
mud horse,as he D}adea brilliant catch of Il fly
by plunging intoa deep pool of water. Fred's
heroic effort was cheered to the echo and
he deserved all the applause he got, because
had he failed to catch the ny the result
would certainly have been very disastrous.
King did fairly well, but at stages he was
hit very freely and he also gave more bases
on balls than Is his wont. He was well sup
ported as the score and summary will show.
Made Game Fight.
The visitors made a real plucly uphill
fight of it and not until theft very last man
was'out did their hopes vanish. They are
good lot of players and certainly will knock
some people out before the season is over.
They are good mud horses and they played
yesterdays game without an error.
IN the first inning the proceeding COM
menced as if the home players were going to
commit terrible damage. Miller got his base
on balls and Beckley followed with hit to
right field that under ordinary circum-
stances would have. been Il splendid two
Dagger, But the ball lay where il fell and
Becllley only made base on IT. browning
made a sacrifice hit and Carroll followed
with q raSpiHg twObagger to right and those
two plays scored Miller and Beckley.
In the second half of the inning, after
Collins was out Wards players threatened
10 knock out our star twirier Griffin sent
out good double TO Maui, and FOutZ fol-
lCnad his. example. Maui judged FoutZ's
- cry badly or else it should nave been a
Of course, Griffin scored, and a good
agile by Burns scored FOutz. This was
quite lively, indeed, but the next two men
were put out in order and the score was
tied.
In the second inning the visitors had the
audacity to take the lead by one rulI.
Rcilly's tumble allowed Ward to reach first.
Then klnSlOW : lily WAS caught by Maui,
and Caruthers got his base on balls Brown
ing caught Collins lily, and Griffin loomed
up again, making a single to left, scoring
Ward.
Had Very Sweet Revenge.
In the way OF sweet revenge for this one
run business in the second, the home play
erS let themselves loose in the third, and
kept the ball flying all over the lot. Beck
ley led of, and WAS put out at first Then
Browning made q Dunt and stole second.
Carroll struck out, and things looked blue.
But Berbauer banged out a single to mid
die, and Maui followed with another to right
Then Berger Jhumped anothcrto left, and to
crown all this humping and hanging, our
Mir. Reilly yan1ed ont cOrlling three-bagger
10 eft.--All this earned four very big runs.
King retired the side by sending fly out to
Both pitchers now settled down, and run
getting was scarce. In the sixth inning
Pnckneyi<, single, wild pitch and n single
by CaIutherS ncttcd another run for the Wis
itOrS..and they didn't score again, although
they looked like it once or twice.
IN the eighth inning Browning led off with
n o7baggUr to left field, and got to third on
a wild pitch. He scored on Carroll's single
to left. The score:
