lodged the pitched ball and put up his
hands to protect his head. The ball hit
his hands, but he rubbed his arm and
started for first. Hassett called him
back. Nadeau's grin admitted that he
was working bluff. In the last of the
fifth Nadeau's hand was so lame that he
gave place to Buckley. In the sixth
Buckley made a magnificent running
catch of Spills bid for base hit. He
ran almost into shortstop. 1t was very
brilliant play.
Slater had his usual good luck in
getting first, and exhibited his usual I'M
rivalled skill in the bases. He is the best
run-getter in the league. He has been
little weak in hitting safely, lately, but
he'll come round all right in that respect.
Daniels will pitch in today's game and
Cary, our last years heady twirler will
be in the box for Brockton. Meyers, who
was released by Portland, Monday, has
been signed by Brockton, and will play
right field today in place of Sharrott.
Word has been received from David
Mahoney that Sockalexis cannot be pro-
cured He is after another good fielder.
With our two giant pitchers both of
whom have just..won whitewash game
useless hits, and with Daniels and Gan
non, we are apparently as well fixed for
pitchers as any team in the league Dove
seems to be the weak point now, and he
is doing fairly we'll He catches fly in
as easy and graceful manner as ever
Garry did, and he does sometimes hit
the ball, though his manner of hitting is
not at all encouraging.
After making his splendid catch in left
field, Buckley gave a most ridiculous ex-
hibition by lodging the sunlight twice.
Once just as the ball was falling into his
hands, he fairly rolled over on the
ground, as if struck by blow, in his
eagerness to avoid being hit. The result
was a two Dagger for Corbett. In the
next inning. he lodged from the sun
again and Corbett got another two
Dagger Dove didn't have to dodge like
that in left field.
