THE HILLITES BEATEN
RIoHmoND,s TEAM Still LEADS
Abe Game Interesting and Would Have
Been Splendid Had the Manchester
People Kept Their Heads.

Inc Leaders are SUI champions. They
defeated the Forest Hill team Yesterday.
The cranks enjoyed the game greatly. II
was interesting, yet not the best played con-
test that has been seen on the Island
diamond. Still, but little fault can be
found. One cannot expect the earth. The
usual fate Of the Free State citizens WAS
with them. BY some dnlucky stroke they
always go 10 pieces in the FIRST inning They
did SO yesterday. They suffered extremely
with severe case Of "rattles." Why not
take nerve Qu.eting medicine before be-
ginning tho game The result. perhaps.
would be happier for them.
Nearly five hundred spectators saw the
game yesterday and went 20 the island with
holt suspicion that the Forest Hill people
would win. Ouarles they knew would pitch
and Luck would be behind the bat. With
such battery some of the Nirginlas most
earnest champions were OF the opinion that
the Pres State individuals would triumph,
but all forgot that go-all-to-pieces pro-
eedure that is always INDUCED in 10y the
Hillites in the best inning
TWO COSTLY ERRORS.
1t took place. however and O'Hara made
the two costly errors. He Is not accustomed
10 the playing required of a FIRST baseman.
and both of the errors made by him were
from the fact that the sphere sped over 10
him in "a rather brisk manner Both balls
We're hard O. field, and his high throws TO
first were the result The Nirginias only
made one hit in the first. but the
errors. coupled with stolen bases and slow
field work on the part of the Manches-
terians, gave the Nirginias "a chance 10 score
five runs.
Alter the first inning both teams did
wonderful work, and the game was pretty
one. For three innings both sides failed TO
score a run. and IL was the fifth before the
Leaders scored their next and last run.
Enught went to first on called balls. An
error by Hattorf.put him on second. and a
Wild pitch sent him 20 third. Lumsden in
the meantime struck out and passed ball
allowed the run 70 be scored.
HARD WORK.
The Forest Hill people got their first run
b7 hard. earnest work. b. Bradley was first
al the bat and hit TO West. The doughty
little short stop for the Yirginias then dis
tnguished himself and made one Of the
Crandestplays ever seen IN o ball contest. The
sphere sailed 70 him like q cannOn-b ball. but
Timothy was there. and swinging around he
sailed the bSll over 10 first, ending Bradley's
career. West was most literally applauded
for bis excellent play. Reynolds followed
Bradley and famed the air. Hattorf made
bit. stole second, and a drive by Luck 20
left fold sent the runner home. w. Brad
ley striking out ended the inning.
ln the eighth the Forest Hill citizens
scored two runs. Lpscomb led of with a
drive 20 left field. and a wild pitch sent him
q second. Kains hit gave him the third
bag. and fly by QuaTles 20 Lumsden sent
the run in Kain reached second on O semi
sacrifice sort OF hit by O'Hara. stole third
and n hit by y. Bradley allowed the third
and last run 70 gOln.
Harrison made grand play while occu-
plying centre field. 1t was during the third
inning Kahn hit a slow ball 10 Err light and
reached first safely. He stole second and
third. and O'Hara who followed, went out
by fly 20 Leftwich. Quaries hit high
fv 20 Harrison and Kahn attempted ~
reach home after the ball had been caught.
Harrison. however. made quick. rapid
throw TO Foster. and Kahn, after all Of bis
trouble went out at the plate Harrison
also made en- excellent throw 20 Enrlght
during the earlier portion Of the game,
which assisted in putting b. Bradley out al
third.
Foster made several beautiful throws 20
second. and was admirably supported by
Shelton, but the sun was full in his face
and was rather excusable. Enright and
Ouarles both did good service in the pitch
er's toX.
Luck was welcomed by his many friends
and did nice work but his throws TO second
y we're almost useless. as HattOrf failed 20
\ catch them The Forest Hin people need
badly a second b0seman.
