third inning and sending in Mercer ahead.
Casey accepted seven out of eight chances
in good style and got in two pretty sin
giles. Williams was hit somewhat hard,
but at no time did he lose his head and
is a promising youngster. His work at
bat was satisfactory, two hits out of five
times at bat being his record.
Mercer went in at short field, but gave
such a miserably listless exhibition that
Manager Irwin ordered him TO the bench
at the end of the second inning and re-
placed him with Shorty Casey. Win
ME is getting somewhat tiresome to the
average spectator and some day he'll
wake up and find his popularity all gone.
The game was a regular old-fashioned
slugging match, thirty-three hits being
the total for both teams. The features Of
| the contest were two very clever double
plays, one by Rietz and Gettman and an
other by Pepper" Jake and Casey.
