as has been seen here this season. He
an excellent change of pace. For the
visitors, Reilly put up great fielding
game. accepting nine out Of ten
chances, and took the leading part in
one of the fastest double plays seen
here this year. Reilly is player who,
by his fast work, wins for himself the
admiration Of all the cranks. Nc

for his team. getting three safe drives
out of five times at bat.
Pop" Lochhead was not missed for
a moment in yesterdays contest. as his

position just as well as did Lochhead.
Doyle is without doubt the best all
around man in the team, and can easf-
ly hold his own with any on the coast.
He not only accepted every chance, but
took active part in both double plays.
Buck Hughes covered himself with
glory by successfully accepting ten out
of eleven chances at second.

initial bag Out of six pop flies he
easily muffed five, but as four of them
were fouls no error could be scored.
On three occasions did Buck Hughes
save him from a certain error by run

and gobbling up flies that really be-
longed to the first baseman.
The game started off with rush.

were advanced a peg by McLaughlin's
sacrifice. Both men scored on Cav

three times and the side was retired.
In the third act the Gilts garnered
two more runs, something after this
plan: Stanley was thrown out from

short stop and third, and Shanahan
died by the left field route. Caverly
hit hot one to Reilly, who let it pro-
