won with something to spare. If there were
any luck about the business, the fellows
from Cleveland were somewhat lucky in
getting as many runs as they did.
The Bad Weather Was There.
The weather kept up its record, as a driz,
zling rain fell until nearly 4 o'clock. As a
result there were barely 1000 people on the
stands When the contest did start the rain
kept away, but the huge black clouds were
very threatening until near the finish of the
game.
The game was one that was full of interest
from start to finish, and to win it the home
players had to do some uphill work, and
they did it we'll The visitors began as if
they intended to thump Elmer Smith clean
out of the lot, but after they had got good
whack at Elmer's pitching in the
opening he settled down and pitched
really good game. To be sure at the end
of the first inning every member ofthe little
crowd of spectators thought that the home
PLAYERS were out of it completely, but such
was not the case. Mr.. Cuppy, or Koppee,
copped it exceedingly hot at stages and just
when hits would tell most our sluggers
slugged and they s1ugged with vengeance.
They nearly knocked the stuffing out of the
ball and that is Just what swon the game.
There's nothing like timely hitting and if
our thumpers can keep up their gait of yes
terday they will down lots of people.
Harry Raymond Surprised Them.
RAYMOND was in wonderful form both in
fielding and in batting. He hit the ball
safely three times and they were corking
hard hits at that, one of them being three
bsgger 1t was a beauty. The majority of
,,lo tbo hoI bor ri h..
some very fine fielding kept the safe hits
down. In one instance O'Connor caught
a f1v ball from Smiths bat only about two
feet from the right field fence. The catch
was indeed a great one, and it is safe to say
that Jack O'Connor will not repeat the feat
very often.
In the second half of the first inning the
visitors piled up no less than four runs and
everybody said: "It's all over" Child's
got his base on balls and reached second on
Burkett's sacrifice. Davis followed with
hit scoring Childs. and Miller tumbled the
ball long enough to allow Davis to reach
second. Mexican went out on pop up fly
to Bierbauer, and then O'Connor made a
single scoring Davis A wild pitch sent
O'Connor to second, and McAleer got his
base on balls. Virtue made single to left,
and Miller again fumbled the ball, allowing
O'Connor to score. thinner came next with
a two-bagger, scoring McAleer. Cuppy
struck out and the terrible inning ended.
1t Began to Look Brighter.
In the second inning matters began to
look brighter for the sluggers. Beckley
led off with two bagger to right field and
reached third on Smiths sacrifice hit Then
Harry Raymond stepped up and whacked
the ball past Burkett for three bags scoring
BeckIey. Farrell got his base ON balls and

There were no more runs made until the
seventh inning, when the home players
took the lead. Raymond led off with a sim

second, Captain Tebeau ordered Cuppy to
give Farrell his base on balls, Mexican tax
ing position behind thinner and McAleer
coming in to second base. With the bases
full, Mack knocked the ball in front of the
plate, and thinner thouchtlessly threw the
ball to first and allowed. Smith to score.
