tl this time the Hillites had n lead OF
.-, RIM made on two Of the worst
Nmbios that ever happened on the Ches-
,s-fad diamond. Kahn was the hrst man

D. ,clyann. The second baseman ium-
,..5 and Kain reached first. Two con
...9tive passed balls gave Kahn third,
and when Wilson was thrown the pan
f.. n,it out Kahn at third he deliberately
s..nned the ball and Kahn easily went
t.me. 10 was. indeed fortunate Tor Inc
t,.,,,ers that they pulled themselves TO-
..-r after the first. for with such play
,,g the game would soon have been a
-. of Hong-Ko ng AFFAIR, told OF by
Chinese historians.
rr the first three innings for the farm-
.,s hafters faced Lemons only TO enc
t..f~ career at first. Two men reached
f-.f and were left there. In the thlrd
g.-.o~ made the first OF his "mu1s

t.-1 fhe Bradley brothers going across
.re rlate Willie found Leach for a
.,rrle. and when his brother Bert banged
,ts sphere 10 left field Willie moved
.,oeeif gracefully TO the second bag.
tr.Gann's second tumble advanced both
az the Bradleys a base, ana NAPIER
SINGLE sent them across the plate !.
WAS in this inning that Wilson redeemed
himself for the inexcusabie error IN the
inst by capturing fly over by the
beachery fence.
Three timely hits in the fourth did the
work for the Farmers, and they were
t.rfunate enough TO score their first two
AIMS. The Scotch citizen. who first made
i.s annearance I'm Richmond, found
t..,.rs for the first base-hit for the
,,.-,,ers Foster let the pitched ball
go through his hands. and McGann went
~ second. When Brodie hit 10 Kahn,
Nfac went ont at third and Brodie stole
second Keefer getting a hit the short
stop scored Kcefer went 20 second on
Ouarles' single. and when Wilson was
nearly knocked OUT with a pitchea
hall the men advanced base. smllh
th.r h.t 10 Kahn. and Wilson ended his
career nj second, while Keefer crossed
the plate.
Th. seventh was the Waterloo for the
Chernhs. The game was lost by Zigler'
and Napler then added 10 the agony.
PEBBLES got hit 10 centre, and when
Il..er made his third 'muff' on first,
D.. went 10 third and Mccain reached
first Two men had been put out. thus
81 the Prince OF Coachers had caught
ana held the ball the side would have
been out. Brodie followed Mccain and
knocked a grounder 10 Napier. The
third baseman then threw 10 first with
the seeming idea I'm his gray matter that
,ho first base was over next 10 right neid
fence. PEBBLES and Mccain scored and
rode got around 10 third. lie scored
on Keefer's hit. Thus was the game
won.
i'm the ninth the Hillites made squirt
and scored their fourth run. Upper
found Leach for a two-bagger and got
around to third on M0rgan's sacrifice.
Tie scored on a surprising hit by Higler'
