1t Wasn't Bad Gam".
There were about $500 people present,
and they enjoyed the game as far as can be
expected when defeat is the resdlt The
contest was one-sided for while, but the
locals gradually crawled nearer to their op-
ponents, and even got so near that long
safe hit might have tied the score.
Elmer Smith pitched an excellent game,
and no mistake, but Dame Fortune was
dead against him. Hits of the scratchiest
kind imaginable were made against him.
and exactly at the time when they would
yield runs. Only seven hits were recorded
against him, hut several of them were
turned into hits bv the ball bounding in the
infeld iast beyond the reach of the fielders
That kind OF lucky hitting won the game,
and nothing else. Shugart was out of form
in his fielding, but his errors were not such
big factors il the way of run-getting as were
the little scratch hits.
On the other hand the home players hit
Davies harder and oftener than Smith was
hit, but the hits of the home players were
made at the worst possible stages for yield
ing runs.

pitcher and keeps his brain cool at the
most critical moments Umpire Macullar

Tebeau "foul" aud that somewhat evened

Quite Lucky Inning.
The third inning came and it was certain
