| aggregation connected with Mr.. Dunkle's
| curves and straights eight times safely for
a total of eleven bases and when the third
| man had been retired eight runs had been
| sent over the plate. Setback started the

mans fly to left center trif1e too far

For the second time young Dinneen faced
a League club. He had great speed, and
while want of practice made him some
what wild, he was admirably coached anG
encouraged by Farrell. who more than once
held him together His change of pace was
also good, his slow balls. when hit proving
easy things for the outfielders. Dinneen
gave five passes. hit man and made a
balk and one wild pitch. One of the passes
was presented in the first inning after
Douglas had secured hit, a balk and wild
pitch, together with Lajoie's three-bag ger
to left and Thompson's fly, sending three
runs home. The Senators went them one
better in their half, Gettman performing
the remarkable feat Of beating out an in

WaSnerS third-baSe play was a pleasing
feature of the game, his left-handed stop
of Netherlands hot grounder in the sixth
inning and his disposal of the runner be-
ing a star play. Setback not only hit the
ball hard and successfully, but also cap
turcd six flies his catch OF Netherlands
foul at the fence in the fifth being very
clever. In fact, the locals played with
more snap and energy than they have dis
played for long time. Doyle's catch OF
Delebanty's foul fly on the fence was an
