Bean-eaters on the wrong end of the
handle and proceeded to brush up any
spots which the Bostons might have care
Iessly overlooked.
The Colonies simply got their eyes open
10 the fact that something had to be done,
and they went about the doing of it in a
way that pleased the $500 spectators i'm
nlenseiy. and Manager Gilbert's hopes
went up faster than Fakirs' Row went
down last week.
The Bostons had claimed all along that
they had mortgage on that trophy, and
it really began 10 look as if their little
game of bluff was going to work, ard
Manager Gilbert had already begun TO
figure how he could hedge to the amount of
$3.50 by doing without Christmas presents
and not patronizing the streetcars. but be

fright. but they can no more expect to make
base hits without the usual diet than they
can expect to win the trophy when Tom
Parrott is on the bench.
That was what hoodooed the champions
yesterday. Parrot was there with his

But the Golfers of the Colonies were re-
pleDished yesterday by the lions share Of
the lucre. for in a 70 score the Bostons
got the hot end of the poker, and the crowd
on the bseachers and in the grand stand
got more yelling for two bits than they
knew what to do with. and goOd many

The seventh, which but for the fact that
Bill never does anything in hurry, would
have been good Tor triple. And in the
frat Inning he made a double play un-
assisted that gave the champions FORE
taste of what was coming. hoy had got
to first cpNa single and Brown was playing
of his base little when Long drove foul
down past first, but Bill just leaned over
the line and pulled the ball IN out of the
wet. allowing Hoy to take short cut from
second to the bench.
Neither side scored in the first three
innings, although HernOn lined out a triple
the first thing. but be was caught at the
plate. In the fourth HernOn again banged
il for two bags, and went to third on
Hines high fly. which came down between
Hoy and Long, which the shortstop ought
to have got. but let the fielder make the
attempt. Van Haltren then batted 10
Davis. forcing Hines, but Van stole second
q moment later. Denny few to Hoy, but
"HernOn crossed the plate with the first
score of the game.
. Boston got in on the fifth and chaIked up
two scores to the good. but were able
to add nothing TO them during the game.

getting q whack on the elbow, but was
called back from first by the umpire while
the crowd yelled "hard luck" but the big

line. Davis hit for a double to left, bring

another one IN Treadway's tumble. Cap

ting q two-bagger down near the right
foul line, scoring Davis. Kittridge and
Nichols each went out on flies, and Hoy,
who got first on Twins error, was nabbed
trying to steal second.

out a double. and Treadway follow with

score.

Mr.. Nichols. After Speer was out on fly

first. and Hunky Hines hit clean single
over third. Everyb body advanced on a

which brought both baserunners in while
Van went to second. Denny flew out to
Hoy, but Van. instead of stopping at
third, want right on home and took one
chance in a thousand, but Kittridge
