which they had been plunged for several
days.
And when Umpire Brennan made his
exit from the clubhouse exactly at 4:29
o'clock and marched majestcally across

In the game and shouted Play.
Anes was put in 70 twirll for the visit
ors and the locals jumped on him on the
start winning the game I'm the first IN
fng and cinching b. too. The 2ood-natured
pitcher realized that he was being Sc
verely punished hut ne never lost his
head and continued 10 do as well as he
could under the circumstances, while
the Cherubs fattened their batting ave-
RACES and besides making a few runs,
kept the visitors on the run stopping the
ball in its mad career from the bat to
the field
Stocksdale had excellent control and
allowed but three safe hits off his de-
livery, neither OF which would have
amounted 10 anything but for Hargrove

ball TO go through him. Besides holding
them down. Stocks killed three men at
the plate and gave only two the walk

made the run The LATER safed at first

that. Two of the hits. those by Purvis
and Roach were made i'm the second in
ming and the third was made by Tate
in the sixth.
Nine men went yp for the Cherubs in
the first inning. and after two men had
been retired Gutenberg begun the bonn
bardment and when Stocks had been
killed al first, five runs had been made
and Viencaux was on base ready TO make
another In the fourth inning Stocks
