Abner Powell's cripples pulled themselves to-
gether Yesterday and wiped out the last spark
OF hope for pennant honors still lingering in
Billy Works bosom It was done. too, by bang

fairs nearly took the visitors of their feet with
surprise. The handful of spectators, who had
come out prepared for the worst, shook hands
with themselves and agreed that they were
lucky in being there In preliminary practice the
winners seemed lacking in confidence, and
feided the ball as ii expecting moth
ing but derision from the stands
With the call of play, however,
their dinidence seemed to disappear. and
they started in At q rafting pace. 1t was not
shortiived. either, for as the game advanced
confidence increased and their play did not
lessen in its brilliancy. Every man took hand
in the good work and helped along towards VIC
tory.
McGinnis pitched one OF his steady, reliable
games, strongest at the most critical points, and
never at any time weak His support offered

clever game, the value of his coaching of the
pitcher being plainly apparent Charlie Irwin

triple, Gil Hatfield following with single
