Purifans Win An EI~evcn-InMing
Game By One RIM.
The games between the teams of the
Puritans and Montgomerys at the formers
grounds in G~reenville, yesterday morning.
was one of the most exciting contests ever
given the sport-loving residents of the
Celery District. From the first inning until
the last man was put out excitement was at
fever heat, and the two thousand spec
tators found opportunities to cheer
difficult catches and fine work in every
inning. The Puritans opened the game by
scoring two runs, and they led by one run
until the ninth inning. when the Montgom-
erys prolonged the contest by scoring a
tying run with two men out. The game
would have been decided in favor of the
Puritans in this inning had the umpire seen
the Moylan's foul Fly drop into
the hands of left fielder Trojan. The
Puritans' left fielder made a magnificent
running catch that should a retired the
M~ontgomerys, but as the umpire failed to
see it on account of the crowd Moylan was
ordered to continue at the bat. There was a
man on third base and Moylan, with a good
hit, drove him home. In the eleventh in
ming, however, the Puritans scored another
run and won a popular victory. The features
of the game were the two HON run hits of
Moylan, the good batting of Deutsch and
Nelson, and the fine work of the Puritan's
battery. The score:-
