won the first contest in the third inning on
two disastrous fumbes by Wagner With
one out and men on second and first he
failed to stop Childs' sharp grounder, on
which a double play would have resulted
easily, and one run crossed the plate. Me-
Kean, Wallace and McAleer hit for sin
giles. while O'Connor went out on long
fly to Anderson. With the bases full and
two men out, he allowed Blake's grounder
TO roll through his legs and the game was
lost
Both Donovan and Cuppy pitched good
ball. but the work of the youngster was
decidedly the better of the two, eliminating
a slight tendency to wildness. Had il not
been for Wagner's miserable work in the
third inning he would have shut the In
diens out without run, no mean feat for
league youngster.
Gettman's magnificent catch of Blake's
fly back of first in the second inning was
