Ana IN, wonder is. after seeing the
.u.r,ovnttes play as they did yester-
dsv. that n,at aggregation of ball play
.r. Is not hi.-hcr on the ladder for they

for them on the blackboard ms gave
them heart. and lots OF ginger was put
IN the game. which resulted in giving
- -, more runs I'm the fourth and in
.,old,ng the locals down 10 two runs dur
ing the entire game.
II was rather pleasant TO see the tail
enders win the game. for they went al
Ter Il like a hungry cat behind q mouse,
and they deserve a lot of credit anu ulo
receive considerable applause Tor thelr
work.
some heavy hitters introduced them
selves 10 the small crowd of fans. SIN
giles they disdained. and doubles, triples
and homers were just their SIZE
schmidt was startled by the way In
which the sluggers slugged his pillows
and ne retired in supreme disgust after
the second inning. making room TOT
Sparks. who did little better.
The crowd from Sharsigville had on
their batting clothes and the hits were
made when they counted.
On the other hand. the Cherubs could
not hit al the needed moment, although
The four of the hits made in the game
helped the runners over.
Both teams played good ball and errors
were scarce. only two popping up In the
entire game and both of them against
the visitors. -
Gus Moran, the Delehantys, Ollie
Smith and Keener hit when they count
ed and they ran bases in championship
shape.

by Hess and scored on Seybolds out at
hrst.
Then there were six big blanks. when
in the eighth another run passed over.

safety. went to second on Wigs long
single. and tried to stretch It when he
was nailed at third. while Wig went TO

Wig scored All was up then, for three
men hit the dust an the ninth with no
results.
J. Delehanty opened the second inning
for the visitors and made the longest hit
on the home grounds for homer. This
opened up the visitors, and ginger was
scattered all around. Foster died on a
foul. and Keener walked. Then Moran
and T. De>ehanty followed each other
with two-baggers, resulting In three
runs. A blank followed and then two
more runs were made.
Keener singled, was sacrificed and
scored on T. Delehantys triple. and the
latter scored on Smiths three-bagger.
They couldn't do any thing else, however,
but that was enough, and the game was
won.
The rooters were q little shy yesterday.
Rioters Row was unusually quiet, with
the exception of Chief Mayfield and his
assistant.
Umpire Joe Kelley left yesterday
