MANY VISITING ROOTERS
1t was an ideal afternoon and 6.S3i
people passed through the gates. or the
number. large party of Baltimoreans
contributed to Mr. Wagner's exchequer.
Mercer and Hoffer were the opposing
pitchers. A critical analysis of the score
renders II difficult to say which OF the
two excelled. Mercer had two less hits
charged TO hiin, but he was not go steady
as he allowed seven men to walk to first
against four for Hoffer.
Mercer's first pair OF free passes to
sack No. 1 were costly, as both recipients
OF his favor, or rather of his slow ball in
their sides, registered at home plate.
And two scores Were valuable yesterday.
The runs tailed by Kelley and Jennings
after being hit by pitched balls won for
Baltimore.
However. thatis In the game. and Mercer
should not be ceDsured FOR unfortunate
slips when it is recalled that but for

their first two runs and then won with
tally OF so to spare.

and Cartwright's fly to Keller. 4
In the second Mcclure made pretty
single to LEFT, but was thrown out from
Kelley to Jennings on try ying to stretch it
into twO-bagger. Crooks was retired from

times in succession.
The third coughed up a couple of runs.

the ban out of Clark's hands and Hoffer
