There was just one man among the
thousand assembled at Adelaide Park
yesterday who maintained a normal
state of mind while the 12-inning battle
between the Providence and Buffalo
clubs was being fought. That one man
in a thousand was Jack Egan the Prov
idence pitcher.
All around him were men who had
nothing at stake i'm the contest, except
the casual interest of spectators as To
the result, and yet they were wrought
up TO a painful tension by the excite
ment Of the struggle. There were lot
of spectators VINO were forced - leave
the grounds i'm the midst Of the contest
because the humping Of palpitating
hearts warned them that to remain to
the finish might bring serious and per
haps fatal results
1t was heart disease game II there
over was one. From the start IL was
the toughest kind Of an uphill struggle
for the home team. In inning after
inning the Grays were being shut out.
They seemed unable for long while 20
cope with the slightest degree OF sue
cess against the pitching OF "Chummy'
Gray, who was serving the ball for Bur
falo.
The victory that was ultimately
gained was brought about by one or the
finest pieces Of nervy stragetic pitching
by Egan that was ever Witnessed in this
city. Twice the Buffalos had the lead,
and twice Providence made u a tie. But
not until the 18th inning could Provi-
dence get one run ahead.
Eight times when Buffalo had men on
bases Egan put three strikes on bats
men. Five times with Bisons on third
base and ready to score on a hit or fly
TO the outfield. or even an infield play
that might retire the batsman, Egan
struck out mis- man. Three times when
lhe Bufalos had men on bases and only
one out Egan struck out two batsmen in
succession and retired the side.
Gray pitched great ball for Buffalo,
90, but his rival in pitching also proved
his bette noir at the bat. Egan batted
n the two runs that tied the score the
first time he scored the run that made
the second tie. and ne also scored the
winning run, making three hits and two
bases on balls in the five times he went
70 the bat II was sheer nerve that
carried Egan through 20 victory and he
deserved IL. At the finish the Buffalos
tried 10 play for darkness, but il did not
go. Score:
