O'Connor sent him to third by a nice drive
over short. but was forced by Wallace.
Both sides failed TO reach first in the
third and the locals could do nothing in
the next e. Tebeau, however, sprinted
tu first before Crooks could get the ball
over, though the decision was very close.
He was forced by Patsy aud he in turn by
McAleer.
Blake seemed to have a hoodoo on Glass

STOPPED THE FUN.
Glasscock and Maui hit safely in the
sixth, but McAleer stopped the fun by a
great catch.
But Wallaces hour had come, and the
local batters gave him the same dose that
every pitcher has had to swallow in
some one inning since the team got down TO
work.
Joyce and Hassamer planted singles out
toward Billsville, and Mcclure played

| advanced both and they scampered home
when Cartwright dropped safe one just
out OF Burkett's reach, taking second on
the throw in.
Glasscock duplicated the hit, and Cart

Wallace was praying for rain by this
time. but his troubles were not over,
for after Crooks had rolled an easy ball
to first Abbey sent one on lire to right
and Capt e. scored the fourth earned run
of the inning.
O'Connor threw wide to catch Abbey
mapping, and he reached third, Dut Maui
could not bring him in. Glasscock beat
slow hit in the ninth. but no one else reached
first in the last two innings.
Meanwhile only nine visitors had faced
Maui in the three innings following the
fifth, and the firsttwo up in the ninth joined
the procession of mourners for the hit that
never came Blake, however, caught a
slow one so hard that it went nearly to the
left fence aud netted him two bases.

ton and the little fielder scored the first
earned run for his side. Crooks, after
making a nice stop of Wallace's grounder,
slipped and fell and Wallace is credited
with a scratch hit.
Burkett smote the ball hard, but Abbey
captured it, and Cleveland's chances for
two out of three were spoiled.
Mercer and Mcclure will probably be
the battery to-day, and Cuppy viii pitch
for the visitors.
