Daley got one hand on to his hot grouhuei
but couldn't hold it.
Spill shirked Davis's hit in the nfth.
1t was grounder down by second. SPIN
could have at least reached it, had ne
tried to reach. 1t wouldn't have been an
error if he hadn't held it.
"Snap" Lang was pretty cute in the
sixth. Terrien had first by hit Slater
grounder reached Lang SO quickly thai
he had plenty of time to touch Terrlen,
who stopped. 'Snap' threw to first ana
made sure of Slater. and Terrien was run
to earth between the bases.
Portland's outfield didn't have chance
till Leighton gathered in Writings f1y IN
the sixth.
O'Rourke made two errors in succession
in tho seventh. He dropped Barton's ny
that was right in his hands and then ne
threw the ball over Corbett's head into
left field, and Barton reached third,
Yeager having gone home.
"Snap" Lang played another cute trick
in the eighth or else his wiry little BODY
is as hard as bat stick. He threw up ms
left arm when one Of Sullivan's inshoots
came along close to him, and the ball hit
something that sounded very much Ike
wood Snap ran for first and Cray let
him go. But if Snaps elbow sounds ike
that when it is hit it must be hollow
Slater made curious assist yesterday
and gave O'Rourke his only put out.
Waldron hit high foul over near right
field fence. Slater and O. Rourke ran for
it. They came together as the ball came
between them. 1t struck Slater's hands
and went through them into O. Rourke's,
which were just underneath.
Todd must have been very much dis
gusted with himself yesterday He is a
good pitcher and he knows it, and he is
fond of saying what he can do. He is
pretty likely to say it right too. At the
beginning of the season, he wagered IL
suit of clothes that in certain game he
would hold the Fall Rivers down to five
hits. He did better than that, for the
champions made but four hits. He has
been spelling for contest against Sulli-
van for some time, and has made some
talk here about what he could do in
opposition to our big pitcher. The home
boys knew it, of course, and they said to
each other that they'd just jump with
both feet upon this man Todd, and SO
they jumped with the result as above
| stated. Todd is a good man and we'll
worthy of his own self confidence, but
there was something wrong yesterday
somewhere.
